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.
