Nut butter and gout: which to pick, which to skip
Nut butters often slip in honey or agave as the sweetener — so we read each label. We read the full ingredient list of 6 nut butter and scored each for gout specifically: 5 rate as a pick, 1 to limit or skip, and 2 carry a hidden trigger (HFCS, fructose or yeast extract) we flag by position.
