Certainly you need not worry about the increase of uric acid from fresh, ripe, whole fruits and vegetables. These are from the linked article:

The healthy participants in this study had baseline levels of uric acid within the normal range, and the consumption of apples did not increase uric acid beyond the previously established healthy range of plasma uric acid.(sic)

Additionally, the long-term consumption of excessive fructose in the diet from manufactured foods and beverages has been correlated with chronic diseases like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes. However, consumption of fructose in fruit has not been shown to be harmful in healthy individuals, and several health benefits have recently been described for uric acid, especially its possible protection against multiple sclerosis and other inflammatory conditions.(sic)
