How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 113 g, which delivers 163 mg of purines, or about 41% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
Whole fruit is not treated like added sugar here, but the reason is portion, not chemistry: in the one trial that matched the dose, fruit fructose raised uric acid about as much as a drink did. A fruit serving simply delivers less fructose than a glass of juice does. The 2020 ACR guideline does not advise limiting fresh fruit.
Evidence: Ayoub-Charette et al., J Nutr 2021 (fructose by food source) · White et al., Am J Clin Nutr 2018 (whole apple vs. a fructose drink, matched dose)
You could have up to about 5 oz (140 g) before this reaches half a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
Whiting (Sillaginidae) fits in moderation, so portion is the thing to get right.
