I answered your other two similar questions about plasma uric acid . Each answer is different and tailored to your question.

The common question asked by people who haven’t grasped what gout is really about: is,: what foods are high in uric acid?

The real question should be about purines and not uric acid, as the body metabolises purines to produce the acid which may lead to gout disease. Some foods high in purines include:

Liver
Fish
Brewer’s yeast
Spleen
Kidney
Mushrooms
Soya, etc


So if someone asks you about gout, remember it’s not what foods are high in uric acid! But their purine content that is important. Avoiding foods high in this compound is often part of an overall strategy to combat or alleviate the symptoms of gout.


Although most uric acid is derived from the metabolism of endogenous purine, eating foods rich in purines contributes to the total pool of uric acid. Sustained hyperuricaemia is a risk factor for acute gouty arthritis, chronic tophaceous gout, renal stones and possibly cardiovascular events and mortality


Fruits, such as cherries and high intakes of vegetable protein diet may reduce serum urate levels.


Remember that kids and teens need carbohydrates for energy from not only grains but also fruits, vegetables, and dairy because they provide a range of essential nutrients that support growth and health. (It's easy to miss this message in the "good vs. bad debate" about carbohydrates.)


So to answer your question, as peach is considered a fruit, it's actually good for its rich in natural iron content. And it certainly doesn't belong in the family of foods rich in purine content.

Addtl Details:

All fruits esp apricots,figs, dates, and esp promegranate are very good for their iron content and other minerals and they are good antioxidants. But the main fact is that it lowers urates or uric acid. Do you know that a promegranate cost
between $4.00- to $5.00 each? And try buying the promegranate juice. It's expensive and only comes in small containers. Promegranate is food for the gods.

The essential question is whether fruits are rich in carbohydrates. Yes, they are but they are natural and they are between simple and complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are much better because they are slow in their rate of digestion. This avoid the sudden rush of blood sugar which in turn can result in hyperinsulinism. Hyperinsulinism may lead to Hyperglycemia ( detrimental to Diabetics), raging headaches( detrimental to people with hypertension); and hyperactivity ( detrimental to children with ADHD). among other things.


Do not confuse commercial fruit juices from fruits. Commercial fruit juices are processed and highly concentrated in other stuff such as preservative, artificial flavor, color dyes; and may contain high fructose corn syrup which is simple sugar.
