Low in purines but very high in fructose, which can trigger gout flares in some people.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Baklava is low in purines from its flour and nuts, and plant-based purines do not raise urate levels. An occasional small piece may be fine for well-controlled gout.
Bad
  • Its concentrated honey and syrup deliver high fructose, which spikes uric acid production. Frequent or large portions can significantly increase gout flare risk, especially without stable urate control.
