Non-nutritive sweeteners are safe for gout, but blends with fructose or sucrose directly raise uric acid levels.
Good
Pure non-nutritive sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and stevia do not raise uric acid. They are safe alternatives to sugar-sweetened products for gout management when used in moderate amounts.
Bad
Sugar blends containing sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup spike uric acid due to fructose metabolism. Non-nutritive sweeteners are generally safe, but those blends with added sugar increase gout risk.
