Gout happens when you consume too much protein, fat, alcohol along
with
carbs. Cut the carbs, consume only moderate alcohol, and the gout
will
vanish.

Just where did you get your medical degree - from a cracker jack box?

Causes of Gout
This is one of the few types of arthritis where the cause is known. It
results from deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in the connective
tissue, joint spaces, or both. Normally this is a byproduct of the breakdown
of purines or waste products in the body. Normally uric acid breaks down in
the blood and is eliminated in urine. When the body increases its production
of uric acid or if the kidneys do not eliminate enough of it from the body,
levels build up. This is called hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia is not a
disease and is not dangerous. However, if excess uric acid crystals form as
a result of hyperuricemia, gout can develop.

Foods that Cause Gout

Some people may benefit from a reduction of purine rich foods. These include
beer and other alcoholic beverages, anchovies, sardines (in oil), fish roes,
herring, yeast, organ meats (e.g., liver, kidneys), legumes (e.g., dried
beans, peas, and soybeans), meat extracts, consommé, gravies, mushrooms,
spinach, asparagus, cauliflower, and poultry. Weight loss can help reduce
uric acid levels in those people that are overweight.

Gout Treatment

Although there is no cure, most people with gout can keep it under control
and lead normal lives. Treatment may consist of one treatment or a
combination of treatments.
