Gout Diet Food to Avoid #10: Seafood
One study suggests that men who eat seafood have 1.51 times the risk of developing gout compared to those men who ate the least amount of seafood. Seafood thus increases uric acid levels by 51%. The worst seafood options of those with gout are considered to be anchovies, haddock, herring, mackerel, mussels, roe, trout, sardines and scallops.
Some research suggests that salmon is an exception and a better choice of seafood for those who suffer from gout. Fish with scales are said to have a less amount of purines, these include salmon, sole, tuna, catfish, red snapper and tilapia.
