Anyway, she saidparsley is good for removing uric acid. Said she puts a bunch of washed parsley w/water in a blender and drinks some of the gawdawful stuff every day. I tried it - the taste? Ewwwwwwwwww!But I am going to have to say I believe it is of some help.Anyone ever heard of this?

I have no trouble with coffee but you may. Try decaf coffee if you have any doubts if you (like me) can't do without the stuff The purines in tea and coffee are supposed to be bad for gout, But it depends, What effects some doesn’t effect others.

The table indicates that Coffee contains a note "methylated xanthines, which make analysis difficult in the Laboratory". So I have two probable conclussions: 1. Coffee does not cause gout directly because it does not has purines. We can drink coffee IF we drink more water in order to maintain a balance of water content in our body. 2. Do not drink coffee before taking a lab analysis to determine your purine content. The question here is, for how long the body keeps cafeine in the system?? Thanks for the reference.
