Is arugula bad if one has gout?

No, arugula is not bad if one has gout. In fact, it may even be beneficial. Arugula is a cruciferous vegetable, and these vegetables have been shown to lower the risk of gout. A study published in the journal "Arthritis & Rheumatology" found that people who ate cruciferous vegetables two or more times per week were 25% less likely to develop gout.
