When I first had gout attacks many years ago I was told to drink less milk and consume less dairy produce as part of a good diet for gout. But recent studies seem to turn this theory' on it's head
At the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in October 2009, researchers presented the results of a study of 16 gout sufferers. The results showed that drinking skimmed milk had beneficial effects in all 16 participants.There was an average10% reduction in blood uric acid levels, with corresponding reductions in the frequency of gout attacks.
But the same study also showed that the consumption of soy milk had the opposite effect, leading to increased uric acid blood levels of around 10%. So soy milk should definitely not be part of your gout diet.
In longer term study, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2004, the findings were similar, in that the regular consumption of low fat milk could reduce the risk of having a gout attack by up to 43%.
And, this same study confirmed that red meat and seafood do contribute to increased gout attackincidences. So, in terms of a good diet for gout,avoid or seriously reduce the consumption of red meet and seafood.
But, in terms of milk, it seems that the regular consumption of skimmed or low fat milk can form part of a good diet for gout. So, as a minimum,drink 1 glass oflow fat milk every day. You might even want to consider drinking a glass of low fat milk with each meal.
