Halibut with Gout

Status: Allowed

Halibut is classified as well tolerated for Gout based on current dietary assessments. Meat and fish are important protein sources but differ considerably in fat content and fatty acid profiles. With gout, the purine content of foods is a central focus, as purines are broken down in the body to uric acid. Persistently elevated uric acid is described in dietary assessments as a relevant factor for gout attacks. The reasoning given is: moderate purine content, white fish. The assessment is supported by a broad evidence base.
