No & no: The easy answer is that there's no evidence that soy is bad for gout. Check out http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21859653. Data behind beans varies due to different kinds of beans. Check out http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/kind-beans-good-low-purine-diet-10856.html & http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=2. Regardless, worse beans are still better than animal products.
