Twinkies themselves do not directly cause gout, but their high sugar and unhealthy fat content can contribute to conditions that may trigger gout flares. Gout is primarily caused by elevated levels of uric acid, often linked to a diet rich in purines found in certain foods, as well as obesity and metabolic issues. Consuming sugary snacks like Twinkies may lead to weight gain and metabolic changes that increase the risk of gout. It's important to maintain a balanced diet to manage overall health and reduce the risk of gout.
