Meringue with Gout

Status: Allowed

Meringue is classified as well tolerated for Gout based on current dietary assessments. Sweets generally contain high amounts of sugar and saturated fats and are therefore included only sparingly in most dietary concepts. 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: low in purines, egg white and sugar base. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
