Low in purines but high in sugar, which can raise uric acid and trigger gout flares.

Added by vblinden

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.
