Your feedback
Good for you

Ricotta's whey protein and dairy peptides may help your kidneys excrete more uric acid. Low-fat versions are a heart-healthy, low-purine protein that fits well into a gout-friendly diet.

Bad for you

Full-fat ricotta is higher in saturated fat, which can worsen the cardiovascular risks that often accompany gout. Stick to part-skim or low-fat varieties for daily use.
