With moderation
Food

Pure maple syrup is low in purines and free fructose, but as a concentrated sugar source it should be used sparingly.

Your feedback
Good for you

Contains negligible purines and far less free fructose than honey or high-fructose corn syrup. One or two teaspoons may be a relatively lower-risk sweetener option for occasional use.

Bad for you

Any concentrated sugar can contribute to hyperuricemia in large amounts. Avoid using it as a primary sweetener in beverages or desserts, and prioritize limiting high-fructose syrups and sugary drinks first.
