Rice Cake

With moderation
Food

Plain rice cakes are very low in purines but high glycemic, which can trigger insulin-driven uric acid retention.

Your feedback
Good for you

Purine load is negligible and safe in this regard. Pairing with protein or healthy fat helps blunt the glycemic spike and supports uric acid excretion.

Bad for you

The high glycemic index can raise insulin and reduce kidney uric acid excretion. Flavored varieties with added sugars or high-fructose corn syrup should be avoided as they directly increase gout risk.
