Fructose vs. Purine: What Matters More in Fruit
Fruit is essentially purine-free, so on the purine scale almost every fruit looks safe. The real variable for gout is fructose, which the body metabolizes in a way that raises uric acid independently of purines. Whole fruit is usually fine in normal portions because fiber and water slow absorption, but dried fruit and fruit juice concentrate the fructose load, and sweetened fruit products add it on top. The practical rule is to favor whole fruit, watch portion sizes of the sweetest types, and treat juice and dried fruit as occasional choices.
