In a recent article I read that drinking coffee about six times a day can help prevent outbreaks of artritis and gout. Are there any coffee drinkers out there that can vouch for or disprove this theory.I don't drink coffee but suffer from the above complaints and was wondering if it was worth while taking up the habit

My brother has gout and he has told me it is very painful...
He drinks a lot of wine, beer and eats cheeses, peanuts, and chocolates...
That all brings on the gout...
They are called rich foods and drinks...
I don't know why myself...
But drinking too much coffee can bring on other ailments, like gall stones and kidney stones...
Passing gall and kidney stones is really painful too...
I would advise less of everything that is hurting you...
I myself must limit sugar...
So I would eat or drink very little coffee, wine, beer, chocolate, peanuts, and cheese...

Studies at the university of British Columbia by doctor Hyon Choi reveal that after 12 years of tests based on a survey of 50,000 men aged between 40 and 75 years of age with no history of gout ,that 757 men developed gout and the risk was lower for those who drank more coffee.
He also discovered that drinking 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day reduced the risk of gout by 40 % and if the coffee consumption increased to 6 cups or more there was a significant change of a 50 to 60% reduction of Gouty signs.Hello Gout Coffee!
Decaffeinated coffee drinkers also appeared to have lessened the Gout attacks.
the best solution is to try it for yourself..
or try organic apple cider vinegar mixed with filtered water.
I have a site on gout that has recipes and various potential cures or remedies.

Gout is a condition where uric acid crystals build up in the body.
This can happen in the area of the big toe and cause a lot of pain.
Our foods contain purines; some foods are higher in this than others.
The doctor may place you on a lower purine diet (of which they will usually provide you a list of foods to avoid. There is also medications that can lower the uric acid in the blood
Here an alternative way to cure gout?

I have osteo arthritis and have been told to cut down on the amount of coffee I drink! Luckily, never had gout so I can't say. They are two different conditions, gout is a build up of uric acid in the body and osteo is wear and tear on joints and spine.
The so called 'experts' differ over so many things it can make your head spin....add dizziness to the problems above!

Hello Peter
Well, this is a very odd article indeed.
Gout is caused by excessive uric acid and caffeine is a uric acid precursor so if you have gout you should avoid caffeine.
