Polyphenols may reduce risk of gout: Study - Nutra USA, 12/13/10 -
"Gout is
a painful form of arthritis caused by disturbances in uric acid metabolism, when
an overload of uric acid leads to the formation of urate crystals in bodily
tissues, especially the joints – leading to recurring attacks of joint
inflammation ... Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance can lead to increased
uric acid re-absorption in the kidneys, which in turn can lead to a rise in
serum uric acid concentration ... these results suggest that Oligonol lowers
serum uric acid through inhibition of xanthine oxidase, and may be effective for
prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia and/or gout" - See

Fructose-rich beverages associated with increased risk of gout in women
- Science Daily, 11/10/10 - "Compared with
consumption of less than 1 serving per month, women who consumed one serving
per day had a 74 percent increased risk of gout; and those with 2 or more
servings per day had a 2.4 times higher risk ... Orange juice intake was
also associated with risk of gout. Compared with women who consumed less
than a glass (6 oz.) of orange juice per month, women who consumed 1 serving
per day had a 41 percent higher risk of gout, and there was a 2.4 times
higher risk with 2 or more servings per day"

Coffee
consumption and risk of incident gout in women: the Nurses' Health Study
- Am J Clin Nutr. 2010 Aug 25 - "There was an
inverse association between higher coffee intake and the risk of gout. The
multivariate relative risks (RRs) for incident gout according to
coffee-consumption categories [ie, 0, 1-237, 238-947, and >/=948 mL coffee/d
(237 mL = one 8-ounce cup)] were 1.00, 0.97, 0.78 (95% CI: 0.64, 0.95), and
0.43 (95% CI: 0.30, 0.61; P for trend < 0.0001), respectively. For
decaffeinated coffee, the multivariate RRs according to consumption
categories (0, 1-237, and >/=237 mL decaffeinated coffee/d) were 1.00, 1.02,
and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.63, 0.95; P for trend = 0.02), respectively. There was
an inverse association between total caffeine from all sources and the risk
of gout; the multivariate RR of the highest quintile compared with the
lowest quintile was 0.52 (95% CI: 0.41, 0.68; P for trend <0.0001)"

Vitamin C May Help Prevent Gout - WebMD, 3/9/09 -
"men who had the highest vitamin C intake from
supplements and food were up to 45% less likely to develop the painful
condition than those who had the lowest ... the results suggest that taking
vitamin C supplements at the levels in the study (less than 2,000 milligrams
per day) may be a safe and effective way to prevent gout" - See

Vitamin C May Prevent Hyperuricemia, Gout - Medscape, 9/26/08 -
"Hyperuricemia is considered a precursor of gout,
which is the most common inflammatory arthritis in adult men ... An
association was observed between greater vitamin C intake and lower
prevalence of hyperuricemia defined as > 6 mg/dL. The multivariable odds
ratio for hyperuricemia for the highest intake of vitamin C (>1000 mg/d)
compared to the lowest (<90 mg/d) was 0.34 ... These findings support a
potential role of vitamin C in the prevention of hyperuricemia and gout" - See

Increased Coffee Consumption May Reduce Risk for Gout in Men - Medscape,
5/25/08 - "During the 12-year study, there were 757
confirmed incident cases of gout. Increasing coffee intake was inversely
associated with the risk for gout, with multivariate relative risks (RRs)
for incident gout of 1.00, 0.97, 0.92, 0.60 (95% confidence interval [CI],
0.41 - 0.87), and 0.41 (95% CI, 0.19 - 0.88) for coffee consumption
categories of 0, less than 1, 1 to 3, 4 to 5, and 6 or more cups per day,
respectively ... For decaffeinated coffee, the multivariate RRs for 0, less
than 1, 1 to 3, and 4 or more cups per day were 1.00, 0.83, 0.67 (95% CI,
0.54 - 0.82), and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.46 - 1.17), respectively"

Vitamin C Intake and
Serum Uric Acid Concentration in Men - J Rheumatol. 2008 May 1 -
"An inverse dose-response association was observed
through vitamin C intake of 400-500 mg/day, and then reached a plateau ...
Greater vitamin C intake was associated with lower prevalence of
hyperuricemia (serum uric acid > 6 mg/dl). Multivariate odds ratios for
hyperuricemia across total vitamin C intake categories were 1 (reference),
0.58, 0.57, 0.38, and 0.34 (95% CI 0.20-0.58; P for trend < 0.001). When we
used dietary data, which were assessed 4-8 years before blood collection, as
predictors, we observed similar inverse associations between vitamin C
intake and uric acid ... These population-based data indicate that vitamin C
intake in men is inversely associated with serum uric acid concentrations.
These findings support a potential role of vitamin C in the prevention of
hyperuricemia and gout" - See

Gout Drug May Lower Blood Pressure - WebMD, 9/23/09 -
"A new study suggests a direct link between a

blood pressure by lowering uric acid" - Note: Kind of a
confusing article. Yeah, high blood sugar probably is a cause of high
blood pressure and high uric acid but the article implies that allopurinol
lowers blood pressure by lowering the uric acid not the blood sugar so why
is it discussing blood sugar? I've written WebMD before about
articles like that and they've agreed and changed it. This one is
minor I guess.
