Sugar OK with Gout: Sugar is not one of the foods to be avoided in gout, although in general limiting sugar in our diets is a healthy choice. Gout is triggered by foods high in purines. Foods like beef, pork, lamb, and organ meats like liver. Also beer, seafood and cabbage family vegetables. For a complete list of foods to avoid and those that are healthy for gout sufferers, see www.Gout, com.
