Bars are generally safe for gout, but added sugars and high-fructose corn syrup pose a flare risk.

Good
  • Dark chocolate (70%+ cacao) and low-sugar, plant-based protein bars can be good choices. Theobromine in dark chocolate may even help inhibit uric acid crystallization.
Bad
  • Many bars are high in fructose, added sugars, or high-fructose corn syrup, which directly raise uric acid. Some protein bars with animal isolates or brewer's yeast also increase purine load.
