Jam with Gout

Status: Allowed

Jam is classified as well tolerated for Gout based on current dietary assessments. Cold cuts, cheese and spreads are often high in fat and salt while also providing protein and – in cheese – calcium. 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: purine-free, high in sugar. The assessment is supported by a broad evidence base.
