Your feedback
Good for you

Pure non-nutritive sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and stevia do not raise uric acid. They are safe alternatives to sugar-sweetened products for gout management when used in moderate amounts.

Bad for you

Sugar blends containing sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup spike uric acid due to fructose metabolism. Non-nutritive sweeteners are generally safe, but those blends with added sugar increase gout risk.
