Good
Its low purine content (only adenine and guanine) and negligible fructose pose minimal risk for gout flares. It can be included in a gout-friendly diet.
Bad
Its high calorie and saturated fat content may contribute to weight gain and metabolic syndrome, which can worsen gout. Overconsumption should be avoided.
