Greek Yogurt contains just 5.2mg/100g of purine — safely within the low-purine range. For gout patients, this makes it a worry-free choice. 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.

Choose low-fat or non-fat dairy over full-fat versions. Full-fat dairy has more saturated fat, which may promote inflammation. Skim milk, low-fat yogurt, and cottage cheese are excellent gout-friendly choices. [Source: Arthritis Foundation / Cleveland Clinic]
