Your feedback
Good for you

Their low purine content means they won't directly raise uric acid levels. Plain pretzels can be a safe snack in small portions for most people with gout.

Bad for you

Highly refined carbohydrates and high sodium can worsen insulin resistance and blood pressure. Flavored or coated varieties also add sugars, which may increase uric acid.
