I have had gout for years, and tried just about everything without success.I reduced meat to, minimum once

a week, stopped alcohol altogether.I was having LOTS of fruit and vegetables and my gout was worsening.

Finally I have read something about Excessive fructose increasing uric acid.I experimented reducing my fruit

intake to 2 a day, and bingo within days I saw a dramatic improvement

it's astonishing how all this junk food (corner store treats) drastically affects aborigines health... it'd be nice to see a summarize comprehensive version of this lecture brought into primary school throughout the country

Tonyccc1, ahhh, so fruit can actually cause gout! I did not know that.

I eat mostly meat, fish, eggs and veggies. But I also like oatmeal and fruit. I cut back on them and started doing more cardio to trim my 36 inch waist down to at least 35 inches.

I seriously am glad to read that you're doing better. Very few people will actually bother to search for the cause of their health problem and takes steps to improve it. Salute!

he doesn't look so svelte himself.

but seriously, it's not sugar but high starch intake and hydrogenated fats that has caused diabetes, granted that sugar of any type doesn't help, including fruits.

WHAT ABOUT FRUIT? (it's whole raw or frozen, with vitamins & nutrients, unprocessed) in smoothies? It's not processed sugar like HFCS

@JackNeedles Please. Ad hominems and verbal bullying is immature, just stop, it is ill mannered and unpersuasive. I'm not the one making claims that honey has substances that scientists haven't discovered. If scientists haven't discovered it, what the hell makes you think that is there? That isn't to say it isn't impossible there aren't substances out there yet to be classified or discovered, but if you are going to claim their are undiscovered nutrients in honey, prove it.

[JackNeedles]

Look, I don't believe in your alien conspiracy stuff, so leave that out of the topic at hand. Yes, other things. Are you saying that there are other nutrients that scientists have not yet dicovered in certain foods? To make such a bold claim would be stupid, since we are making new discoveries all the time. Your ignorance is speaking for itself now.

[JackNeedles]

That's right. You better correct yourself. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

[JackNeedles]

Yes, I know what free fructose is. What is your point I said that Vitamins, like Vitamin C, has been shown to lower uric acid levels, thus preventing some of the damaging effects of refined fructose. You are wrong if you are saying vitamins and minerals have no affect on uric acid levels. "Chronic fructose metabolism". You need to watch it there. I never said too much fructose wasn't going to damage your liver in the first place. Learning how to read would be a good start for you.

@jtsupersized Sucrose* Not Sucralose in my previous post. Sucralose is an artificial, non-caloric sweetener.
