Studies suggest!: Dietary changes do not yield major results. If your uric acid is too high, cutting alcohol and organ meats will help, but you should be on generic Allopurinol or uloric to take your level below 6 mg /dl! uric acid not only causes gout, kidney stones, but can damage the kidneys! your profile suggests you have metabolic syndrome, heading for type 2 diabetes, beware!

See details: If there is not history of gout or kidney stones, there is no reason to lower uric acid. If you do have one of these issues, Allopurinol would be the first option.
