Reduce the Purines: Avoid or severely limit the intake of food that are high in purines like animal products like organ meats, anchovies, beef, pork lamb, tuna, shrimp, lobster and scallops, limit or avoid alcohol especially beer, avoid or limit intake of foods sweetened with fructose corn syrup. Drink more fluids, eat more complex carbs, low fat dairy products, more of natural juices, eat more plant-based proteins.

Diet and gout: Tart cherry juice is effective; avoid organ meats; fatty meats and alcohol will aggravate gout. Avoid these. Also, drink at least 3 liters fluid per day - this may enhance uric acid excretion - and if you incline your diet successfully to mostly whole grain, fruit, and veggies, using egg white for protein, then your uric acid levels will come down.
