Why?
Because such detailed nutritional analysis is beyond the scope of this gout support website.
Before you start looking at individual gout foods to avoid, you need a good gout management plan, and a thorough understanding of how food affects gout. At the very least, you must read the information on planning an alkalizing gout diet menu. Then if you still want to assess PRAL values of beef products, or any other food or drink, you can browse my Acid-Alkaline Beef Products Food Chart.I have retained the former introduction to the beef PRAL chart...
Are Beef Products Gout Causing Food?
Many people think Beef Products are gout causing food. Eaten sensibly, there is no reason why gout sufferers should not eat beef.
For best results, do not overeat meat. Balance each meaty treat with a healthy serving of vegetables and other alkalizing foods.
If you are looking for purine information, please see the Purine Rich Foods Chart, but before consulting that table of food purine content, you should understand How Purines Affect Gout.
Nearly all meat has an acidifying effect after digestion. However, this does not automatically make it gout causing food. A pure meat diet is bad for gout, but if meat is accompanied by plenty of vegetables, a good balanced diet will help your gout.
Unless you are a committed vegetarian, it is difficult to get all the nutrients you need without meat. Good general health is vital to help you cope with gout. Any slight adverse effects from increased purine intake is more than offset by a well balanced, alkaline producing diet.
By combining foods sensibly, there really is no gout causing food. Once you have chosen the meat that you want from the table below, look at the other tables for alkaline producing foods. You can then select enough alkalizing foods to balance the acid producing meat. The resulting combination ensures you have a healthy diet that won't make your gout worse.
Please read my explanation of Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) for gout sufferers before you look at detailed food information.
