I am writing regarding gout which i now suffer from. Having read many accounts of coffee being a problem I have now seen a new study which states that drinking 4-6 cups a day actually may prevent gout. 40% fewer incidence of gout in heavy coffee drinkers. This was a 12 year study of 40 plus males done in British Columbia, Canada published in the Journal of Rheumatology. It seems the benefits were almost equal for decaffeinated coffee as well.

I drink about 15 cups of coffee per day. I was suffering from gout almost my whole life, about 50 years. One day I discovered that if I dont eat wheat containing foods like bread I do not get gout. I stopped my bread and wheat intake totally and I never had gout again. My skin acne problem also completely stopped. I now bake oats bread and still no gout. And I still drink my +- 15 cups of coffee every day.
