Your feedback
Good for you

Tea is a recommended beverage option by sources like Mayo Clinic; its polyphenols may offer modest uric acid-lowering benefits via xanthine oxidase inhibition.

Bad for you

Sweetened teas with added fructose or sugar can raise uric acid and should be avoided, though plain tea itself poses no such risk.
