Your feedback
Good for you

Plain cornmeal provides a versatile, low-purine carbohydrate option that does not raise uric acid levels, making it a suitable staple for gout-friendly meals like polenta or grits.

Bad for you

Avoid cornmeal products sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup or other added sugars, as fructose directly increases uric acid production and impairs excretion.
