Gout: Preventing Gout Attacks While medications are effective for the treatment of gout, decreasing foods that are high in purines and eating a low-fat diet may also help to lower blood uric acid levels that cause gout. High dairy intake and coffee consumption may lower gout risk. Vegetable intake, regardless of purine content, may help remove uric acid from the body whereas fat intake, regardless of purine acid content, may increase uric acid secretion. (1) Research reports that consuming sweetened soft drinks, fruit juices and fructose-dense foods (apples, pears and honey) may also increase gout risk. (2) American Dietetic Association (1) and British Medical Journal (2)
