Good
  • Provides antioxidants (anthocyanins and polyphenols) that may help reduce inflammation associated with gout flares. Low in purines, so purine load is not a concern. Adds natural sweetness and fiber to the diet without added sugars (if unsweetened).
Bad
  • Concentrated source of fructose (20–25 g per 100 g), which can increase uric acid production by promoting ATP catabolism to AMP and then uric acid. Larger portions may trigger uric acid spikes. Easy to overconsume because of small volume and sweet taste.
