Uric acid 7: This level of uric acid is not dangerous, though he is predisposed to gout. Some data associate uric acid above 6 with vascular disease; two meds are used to lower uric acid: allopurinol and febuxostat. Avoid organ meats, red meats, fatty meats, pork; tart cherry extract can help lower uric acid; avoid saturated fats; fish and egg white are best protein sources; make 85% of diet fruit, veg, grain
