purine table and information

Please remember that food is usually responsible for only ca. 30% of the uric acid content in the blood serum. Diet is very important to those who wish to lower their uric acid, yet other considerations should not be overlooked. Extremely physical exertion or traumatic injuries may contribute to the occurrence of gout. Also foods that elevate the blood acidity, despite their low purine content, may cause an aggravation of gout. Some examples may be: very spicy and greasy food, coffee, alcohol, excess tea, deeply fried food and more. In Chinese medicine concepts, these foods fall under the category of Heat and Damp producing foods and beverages.

The following foods list is from the book Gout by Prof. R. Grahame, Dr. A. Simmonds and Dr. E. Carrey: Group A: 0-50mg purine per 100g

Group B: 50-150mg purine per 100g
