Good for you

Low in purines; offers lycopene and vitamin C with anti-inflammatory benefits. Homemade versions without added sugar are a healthy choice for most people with gout.

Bad for you

Many store-bought sauces contain high-fructose corn syrup or added sugar, raising gout risk. Tomatoes may trigger flares in some sensitive individuals, and meals often include high-purine accompaniments like red meat.
