@MsSweetPuppy One last thing:if you're worried about "fat" being the culprit,check how the body handles it. Fructose is what turns to fat,NOT fat.Fat is stored as glycogen;so are proteins.Carbs are not all evil; FIBER is what you need in FOOD forms,which is why vegetables are crucial (metamucil only makes bowels softer-the difference between SOLUBLE&non-soluble fiber is important).Fructose,from juice/soda/agave/fruit is what makes people fat.Fructose is treated identically to BOOZE by the liver.

@MsSweetPuppy Eating mostly vegetables, yes, is healthy--no one is denying that; no one should deny science, either. All foods are chains of sugars,proteins,etc bound together.*Lightly* cooking makes the nutrients easier to absorb(&kills pathogens),but JUICING only separates the carbs&increases the absorption of sugar chains like FRUCTOSE,upping your liver's uric acid buildup. A VARIETY is still crucial&should include fatty fish,which DECREASE uric acid over time&DECREASE your body fat content.

I didn't see this part until later. I have a friend, who is black and he's very obese, over 400 pounds (not sure of his weight). He had gout and has trouble holding a job due to weight and gout. He can't work right now, his weight is affecting him so much. I know he's slowly killing himself. I also have a serious weight problem. I've heard differing info about whether gout can be cured by raw food diet.  If I myself don't do something, I may also die.

That comment made no sense whatsoever. I know that eating fruits and veggies mostly is very healthy. I haven't taken that route, I'm almost dead.

@MsSweetPuppy Raw food brings its own deficiencies.If you want a be all and end all in terms of what changed, it's FIBER,bound to its food source,NOT added later(enriched grains),not powder/pills.Raw diets can increase fiber,but lightly cooking most vegetables makes their nutrients most bioavailable&'soak-rinse-cook' takes out toxins in beans&makes their proteins digestible.Vegan diets still need animal/insect-sourced B12;B12 in kelp etc=not absorbed.Donating blood also lowers uric acid buildup.

@MsSweetPuppy it was in reference to a mention of allopurinol and colcrys... it's LAME for people to sell false hope. Gout is EASY to treat, and yes, diet is important, but guess what? FRUCTOSE is what increases uric acid levels most, so while it is ABSOLUTELY imperative to toss out soda, sugary food, *AGAVE which is higher in fructose than HFCS* and most of all fruit juice, gout does NOT require a raw food diet, and many who eat a higher proportion of fruits than normal are at increased risk.

That comment was pretty lame... and negative.
