You can eat a lot of fish and fruit and those things can contribute to gout. Fructose simply isn't the only thing that contributes: Being male, eating some meat, fish, and seafood, being overweight, and so on can contribute. It isn't really processed meats that do it, but certain types of meat. Gout used to be a disease of the rich - who were the folks that were likely to eat the foods that lead to it (and have an amount of other contributors). My brother got gout in high school: He wasn't eating too badly, was a healthy weight, but probably had a "rich" diet and was male.
