Your feedback
Good for you

Plain sweet potatoes are very low in purines (around 5-6 mg per 100 g) and do not raise uric acid, with potential anti-inflammatory benefits from fiber and antioxidants.

Bad for you

Candying adds significant fructose and sugars that promote uric acid production and are linked to higher hyperuricemia and flare risk.
