another thought on uric acid
I have suffered from the affects from uric acid for years and recently found out that high fructose corn syrup can help in the developement of uric acid. Also, there are a number of hidden names used to hide the sweetener name in processed foods. If vitamin C helps fight the surprise occurance of the pain associated with gout then I will give it special consideration. The pain of gout in the joints can best be described as an abscessed toothache. The other pain of stiff toes or forefingers to the point where the joint is rendered useless is my experiences with the pain of gout. Too many years, medical doctors diagnosed me with arthritis and I became a poster child for cellebrex usage, sometimes taking 5 cellebrex a day for the pain. I have stopped consuming any products with High Fructose Corn Syrup and artificial sweeteners in sodas and I have to report no pain from gout. I have just purchased a vitamin C supplement with 1000 mg.per dose just to fight off the cold but if it fights the affects of gout then I will add it to my supplement list.
Vitamin C and gout
There is no describing the pain associated with attacks of gout, or the suddenness with which they can happen. On the face of it, it seems this study has more to do with averting the onset of gout in men who don't already have it. However, I will certainly try Vitamin C as a possible tool to control it, as I am not fond of using daily prescription medication. I would appreciate any feedback on this.
Vitamin C and uric acid absorption
Very timely, if not coincidental, release of data on this subject. Having had the misfortune of experiencing this painful affliction, I was resigned, of sorts, to contending with its presence.
Being aware of the clear benefits of vitamin C relative to immune enhancement, I had doubled intake to 1000 mg plus over the past 10 days. And while not associating a significant reduction in joint pain and inflammation with this modification of supplement intake, it was there nevertheless.
The data presented here solves the "mystery" to an extent, although aware that others may experience a different outcome.
Many thanks for your presentation of this highly relevant-and revelatory-data.
