That depend on what you mean by the question. Purines are what is required to to make uric acid in the body, so the more purines there are in the system the more uric acid is formed, If one has a predisposition to gout then more purines you eat or need to metabolize in other ways the greater the risk of a gout attack.

Can you reverse gout?

A diet high in purines leads to gout - the body cannot effectively breakdown uric acid, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of purines - this uric acid buildup is the cause of gout. If the diet is modified to restrict the intake of purines then gout symptoms can be reduced. Foods rich in purines, which should be avoided include beer, wine, fortified wines, red meat, offal and seafood

Is broccoli safe for gout?

To help with gout you want to eat foods low in purines, which cause elevated uric acid levels, which is the main cause of gout. But this is counter-intuitive because many high purine foods are shown to help with gout, like meats and oatmeal. Yogurt has been shown that when integrated into a healthy diet can help lower uric acid levels. But, and this is a big but, it really depends on the type of yogurt because most are high in added sugar which is no good. I suggest plain greek yogurt like Fage, or Chobaini.
