10 Foods That Cause Gout
Food #8: Dairy
The dairy family includes foods such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese. This list may seem limited; however, numerous food items contain dairy, which is why the dairy industry is so large. When it comes to gout, there is some conflicting evidence regarding the consumption of dairy products and how they affect individuals with gout.
Some studies have shown that an increase in the intake of cheeses, yogurt, and ice cream may decrease the risk of developing gout. However, gout patients should not consume too much milk or ice cream. The bottom line is that high-fat dairy products can trigger gout attacks.
