Purines
Compounds in food (and made by the body) that break down into uric acid.
Purines are natural compounds in many foods — especially organ meats, some seafood and, to a lesser degree, red meat — and also made by your body. When they break down they produce uric acid, so a very high-purine diet can raise urate and contribute to gout, though sugar (fructose) and alcohol often matter more.
