I can't find my previous post in google archives but my memory
of the result was as follows:

Milk and egg whites are purine-free protein.

Whole grains, legumes, soy and eggs have some purines, relative
to the amount of protein.

Beef, lamb, tuna have somewhat more relative level of purine.

Chicken has the higher purine levels per protein gram. White
meat chicken is worse than leg meat.


I will try to compile more accurate data and post it. Maddeningly,
the USDA nutrition database does not list purine content,
making this task more difficult.
