Low in purines but high in sugar, which can raise uric acid and trigger gout flares.
Good
Cake is low in purines, so it won’t directly raise uric acid from purine sources. Homemade versions with reduced sugar and whole grains can be a safer occasional treat.
Bad
High added sugar and fructose content, especially from frostings or high-fructose corn syrup, can spike uric acid levels and promote weight gain and insulin resistance.
