With 0mg/100g of purine, Apple Cider falls into the moderate category — fine occasionally, but not an everyday staple for gout. Beverage choices matter significantly for gout. Staying well-hydrated helps the kidneys flush uric acid — the Arthritis Foundation recommends 8 glasses of water daily, and up to 16 during a gout flare.
Apple Cider should be eaten in moderation with gout. It contains 0mg of purine per 100g (moderate range: 50–150mg). It can be part of a gout-friendly diet, but keep portions reasonable and not daily.
Sugary drinks — especially those sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup — are major gout triggers. Fructose is broken down in the body to release purines. The Arthritis Foundation and Cleveland Clinic both list sugary drinks as top gout-triggering foods. [Source: Arthritis Foundation / Cleveland Clinic]
People who drink 5–8 glasses of water a day are less likely to experience gout symptoms. During a flare, the Arthritis Foundation recommends increasing to 16 glasses per day to help flush uric acid. [Source: Arthritis Foundation / Cleveland Clinic]
