Plain popcorn cake is low in purines, but added sugars can increase gout risk.
Good
Plain varieties are a low-purine, high-fiber snack that can support weight management, which helps reduce gout flare frequency.
Bad
Sweetened or flavored versions may contain high-fructose corn syrup or added sugars that raise uric acid and trigger flares. Heavily salted options can impair kidney function.
