gout is caused by an excess of uric acid in the body...
uric acid results from the breakdown of purines...
purines are part of all human tissue and found in many foods...
the excess can be caused by either an over-production of uric acid by the body or the under-elimination of uric acid by the kidneys...
also, the ingestion of food high in purines can raise uric acid levels in the blood and precipitate gout attacks in people...
like me...
