10 Foods That Help Gout
Helpful Gout Food #7: Low-Fat Dairy Products
Researchers have reported that low-fat dairy products can help increase the excretion of uric acid in the urine. One study found that individuals who consumed a serving or more of low-fat yogurt or milk had less uric acid in their blood. This may be attributed to the low purine and high protein content in dairy products.
Dairy proteins also contain lactalbumin and casein that help increase uric acid secretion. Choose dairy products that are labeled as low-fat or skim such as 1 percent milk.
