1) To eat or to avoid watermelon for plasma uric acid. 2) Levels of plasma uric acid before and after consumption of watermelon. Thank you in advance.

High plasma uric acid is a typical sign of gouty arthritis. Acidic foods are avoided, as the body's capacity to eliminate uric acid is reduced. Watermelon is an alkaline food (with a pH around 8. 5 - 9) recommended for consumption.


At an alkaline state, uric acid excretion increases.
