It's not too bad ... you have to weed through some of the posts, but
there is lots of info in the archives.

There's a few schools of thought on how to best control it. One disputed
school is that if you already have it, changing to the perfect diet will
only have a 10-15% reducion in attacks/(uric acid levels?).

Then there's the cherries debate.... (actually, only the Tart
