Condensed Milk & Gout

Avoid

Condensed Milk contains a significant 0mg/100g of purine — enough to trigger uric acid buildup. Best avoided by those with gout. Dairy products — especially low-fat varieties — are one of the few food groups actually shown to help lower uric acid. The proteins in milk promote uric acid excretion, and studies suggest regular low-fat dairy consumption can reduce gout attack frequency.
