For ten years my husband endured the pain and misery of gout. It was destroying our lives. In horrendous pain he was told by an orthopaedic surgeon,

"You're eating too many purines and not drinking enough water ........ You're crispy"

The not drinking enough water we could handle, but what were purines? Neither of us had heard of them. How could something you eat cause such a painful, debilitating disease?

Does something we eat cause gout? Well you won't be surprised to learn that it does, but the purine rich foods that have hitherto received such a bad press are actually innocent by-standers, the real culprits are some of the things that many of us eat and drink every day of our lives.
