To avoid gout, avoid meat.

Gout was at one time considered the disease of the rich, when in the West only the rich ate
meat.
The gout patient should avoid all purine and uric acid producing foods such as all meats, eggs,
and fish. Glandular meats are especially harmful.
The one who has gout should also avoid all intoxicating liquors, tea, coffee, sugar, white flour
and its products and all canned and processed foods. Spices and salts should be used as little
as possible.
