Your feedback

Pretzels are low in purines but high in refined carbs and sodium, so enjoy occasionally, not daily.

Good
  • Their low purine content means they won't directly raise uric acid levels. Plain pretzels can be a safe snack in small portions for most people with gout.
Bad
  • Highly refined carbohydrates and high sodium can worsen insulin resistance and blood pressure. Flavored or coated varieties also add sugars, which may increase uric acid.
