Each row shows the points a factor moved, what drove it, and the studies behind its weight.
- -23.6Long-term
FructoseLong-term
An estimated 3.7 g of fructose per 100 g, scaled 2.5x for the typical portion.
Evidence: Choi HK 2008, BMJ · Choi HK 2010, JAMA
- +10Flare + long-term
Dairy ProtectionFlare + long-term
Low-fat dairy protein lowers urate (the orotic acid and casein effect), earning the full protective bonus.

- -8Long-term
Nutrient GapsLong-term
Provides meaningful amounts of only 1 of the 5 protective nutrient groups (vitamin C, fiber, omega-3, magnesium and folate).
