For me, this is a new "Gout" food I shouldn't be eating anyway!

How do you treat gout? I thought those pills were for the pain.

You just asked this yesterday and I answered it.

The two most popular long-term treatments are allopurinol and
probenecid, and there are at least three other similar meds.
Dietary measures can also be considered part of treatment.

I don't think of allopurinol as a treatment, it's a preventative.
Probenecid, I know nothing about - but you made it sound like another
preventative not a treatment. Dietary measures are for sure a
preventative, not a treatment.

Well, use whatever terminology you like. Gout is a chronic condition
and is treated with allopurinol or probenecid, and these treatments
if successful prevent more attacks.

On the contrary, diet and avoiding working the affected
joints is the non-drug treatment. It takes several days
to be effective, more if you ignore the part about not
working the affected joints.

You can have episodic gout and not as a chronic condition. What happens is
during an attack you can sustain a lot of damage to the joint, tendons and
tissue. That damage really never heals. So minor injuries or just aging
can make the joint flare up with pain and inflammation even though it may
not be a gout attack. If you have seen pictures of uric acid crystals they
are really large and very sharp looking. They look just like long daggers.

"Never" is a long time.

For many decades, we were taught that sugar = evil and sugar = diabetes.
In the last ten or fifteen years, we've found out that that isn't true.
The last few diabetes classes I've taken, the instructors were very
clear that we don't ever talk about sugar. All that matters is total
carbs. Although I have some doubts about glycemic index, and don't
understand glycemic load very well, it's clear that when you compare
sugar, boiled potatoes and white bread, it's the latter two that spike
the blood glucose, not the sugar.

So, for those (not you and me, at least not right now) who need this,
some research would be desirable. Could fresh cherries, which have
fiber, be substituted? Exactly what type of cherry juice (I've seen a
couple of TJ cherry juices on the internet)? What's the carb count?
What's your carb allowance in your diet? How can this juice be fit into
that?


I'm not surprised.

This is extremely easy for you to fix. The above poster has no clue.
He makes no original posts. He just takes a fragment of somebody else's
post and reposts it. Just killfile him. Do not killfile the entire
"from" header, as that number garbage changes with every post. For
instance, you could just killfile something like:
