Alternative Medicine and Gout Dietary factors have a strong association with gout "Dietary factors have a strong association with gout. [In the Health Professional Follow-up study it was found that] higher adiposity, hypertension, and diuretic use were all moderate risk factors, whereas weight loss had a protective role.

"High intakes of sugar-sweetened drinks...and [high intake] of fruits and fruit juice have been associated with a small increased risk of gout. High meat intake and seafood intake... have also been positively associated with gout with a small increase in risk.

"In the same study, long-term coffee consumption was inversely associated with gout. Consumption of low-fat dairy products has been shown to decrease the risk of gout; milk proteins...can reduce...uric acid levels in healthy individuals."
