Your feedback
Good for you

The plant-based purines in refried beans do not raise serum urate like animal purines. They are a healthy protein alternative to meat and fit well into DASH or Mediterranean diets.

Bad for you

Canned or restaurant refried beans may contain lard or added saturated fats, which can worsen obesity and metabolic syndrome—gout risk factors. Avoid pairing with sugary drinks.
