Men: To avoid gout, have a cuppa!
This recent New York Times article reports that men who drink large amounts of coffee reduce their chances of getting the painful inflammatory disease, gout.
The report discourages going overboard with the java, but it points out that researchers observed, “The more their study subjects drank, the less likely they were to develop the disease.”
Since this disease is commonly brought on by an overindulgence in rich foods, perhaps the lesson should be that you should have ample coffee with dessert!
