10 Foods That Cause Gout
Food #4: Red Meat
Red meat refers to all types of mammalian muscle meat. Some examples of red meat food include hamburgers, steaks, beef, veal, and goat. Red meat is not good for gout-prone individuals because of its high purine content. White meat is a better alternative. A great protein alternative includes lentils, beans, soybeans, and tofu. These are all low purine foods that are generally safe for people with gout.
In addition, eggs are low in purine. Eggs are also a great protein-rich source. Thus, if you are worried about missing out on protein due to cutting out meat, many low purine foods are still high in protein.
