Tteokbokki's rice cakes are low in purines, but sauce sugars and high glycemic load raise gout risk.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Rice cakes are very low in purines. The sauce (gochujang) is not a high-purine trigger. Occasional moderate servings are likely safe for well-controlled gout.
Bad
  • High added sugar (12–18 g) spikes uric acid via fructose. The rice cakes' extreme glycemic index (82–91) impairs uric acid excretion. Fish cakes add moderate purines. Also very high in sodium.
