Cookie bars are low in purines but often high in fructose and added sugars, which can trigger gout flares.
Good
Provides negligible purines, so it does not raise concern through that pathway. A small occasional portion is unlikely to cause immediate problems for well-controlled gout.
Bad
High added sugar and high-fructose corn syrup can rapidly increase uric acid production and impair kidney excretion. Regular intake may also worsen obesity and metabolic syndrome, both risk factors for gout.
