Does Vitamin C effect gout?

Research shows that Vitamin C clearly does effect gout. This study on 46,994 men over a twenty year period showed that "higher vitamin C intake is independently associated with a lower risk of gout. Supplemental vitamin C intake may be beneficial in the prevention of gout."

So, a list of good sources of Vitamin C;

* Kiwi
* Red bell peppers
* Oranges
* Cantaloupe
* Parsley
* Cauliflower
* Broccoli
* Mustard greens
* Papaya
* Grapefruit
* Strawberries
* Cabbage
* Tomatoes
* Raspberries
* Celery
* Spinach
* Tangerines
* Limes
* Cranberries
* Guava
* Pineapple
* Watermelon

As usual, I remind you to think about the quantity of each food. For example, whilst parsley is an excellent source of Vitamin C, most people don't eat it in large quantities. On the other hand, a bowl of raw fruit for breakfast will give you more Vitamin C than many people consume all day.
