Acidic? Say what?

A common error of thinking about gout is the "acidic" connection.

But, if you look at the latest info......

Over the follow-up period, gout developed in 1,317 men. Men whose total vitamin C intake was 1500 milligrams per day or more experienced a 45 percent lower risk of gout compared with those whose intake was below 250 milligrams. The risk of gout was found to decrease by 17 percent for each 500 milligram increase in vitamin C consumption. A separate analysis of vitamin C from supplements found a 45 percent reduction in gout risk when those who consumed over 1500 milligrams per day were compared with those who did not report using supplements.

My "gold standard" became "acidic" after several months of high vitamin c intake for a Lipo(a) protocol.

She however, was taking ~ 6 to 8 grams a day.

The body can be so damned counter intuitive at times!
