Dairy's Protective Effect on Uric Acid
Dairy is the one food group with evidence of a protective effect on gout, not just a neutral one. Low-fat milk and yogurt have been associated with lower uric acid and a lower risk of gout in prospective studies, likely because dairy proteins promote uric acid excretion. Eggs are a separate case: nearly purine-free and a reliable protein source, but without the same protective signal. For gout, low-fat dairy is a genuinely useful addition, and eggs are a safe protein fallback.
