Your feedback
Good for you

Brown sugar is virtually purine-free and provides a small amount of molasses minerals. A teaspoon in coffee or oatmeal is unlikely to trigger a flare.

Bad for you

The fructose in brown sugar can acutely raise uric acid levels within hours, and chronic overconsumption may increase flare risk. Limit to occasional small amounts.
