Whole corn is low in purines and safe for gout — avoid high-fructose corn syrup.
Good
Corn is a low-purine vegetable that provides fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants without raising serum urate. Plain corn and popcorn are excellent snack choices.
Bad
High-fructose corn syrup in processed foods and sodas directly spikes uric acid. Avoid sweetened corn cereals, HFCS-laden snacks, and sugary drinks.
