Soy Milk
Soy Milk is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 240 g serving has about 53 mg of purines, about 13% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
Other forms run higher, up to grade C (about 53 mg a serving) for Soy Milk (sweetened). Check yours below.
How much can I eat?
Up to about 3 ¾ cups (915 g) keeps you under half a day's purines.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 53 mg here counts as roughly 16 mg toward your gout risk.
Soy Milk is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Diet is part of the picture, not all of it
For most people the body makes the majority of its own uric acid. Food contributes the smaller share. Eating well lowers your risk and helps you feel in control, but for many people diet alone does not bring uric acid down enough to stop flares. Medication often does the heavy lifting. Use these grades to make easier daily choices, and work with your doctor on the full plan.
