Does Drinking Cranberry Juice Help with Gout?

Gout also has a dietary component. Don't eat foods that have a high purine content. Meats and especially organ meats have lots of purines. You can get a list of purine containing foods on the net.

Cherry juice is suppose to help. so will diet, to a point but our body makes 75% of its own purines so diet only is part of the picture. If you are on high blood pressure, be aware that certain ones can make gout worse.

The idea is that if you increase the amount of acid in your system, your body will expel excess acid, i.e. the uric acid causing the gout. The best cure for gout is a change in diet all together.
