Mushrooms reduce the risk of gout

Here is no evidence that certain fruits, vegetables or mushrooms cause gout or make it worse. In fact, a high consumption of fruit, vegetables and mushrooms is linked to a lower risk of gout. A wholesome diet, such as the traditional Mediterranean diet, is associated with a lower risk of gout. Advice to gout sufferers to avoid foods such as spinach, asparagus and mushrooms is not justified.
