Coffee and Gout

Coffee and GoutThe June 2007 edition of Arthritis & Rheumatism reports, in Coffee Consumption and Risk of Incident Gout in Men: A Prospective Study, that there is a strong link between drinking coffee and a reduced risk of gout.

This is another finding from a statistical study of thousands of American men that I have mentioned before. The authors are keen to point out the limitations of this study, in that it is based only on professional men, is self-reporting with no medical supervision, and may be not cover all important factors.

That said, this is surely a prime candidate for some comprehensive clinical studies. Come on, you researchers – give us some proof that Java can make us dance.
