Vitamin C May Prevent Hyperuricemia, Gout - Medscape, 9/26/08 -
"Hyperuricemia is considered a precursor of gout,
which is the most common inflammatory arthritis in adult men ... An
association was observed between greater vitamin C intake and lower
prevalence of hyperuricemia defined as > 6 mg/dL. The multivariable odds
ratio for hyperuricemia for the highest intake of vitamin C (>1000 mg/d)
compared to the lowest (<90 mg/d) was 0.34 ... These findings support a
potential role of vitamin C in the prevention of hyperuricemia and gout" - See

Increased Coffee Consumption May Reduce Risk for Gout in Men - Medscape,
5/25/08 - "During the 12-year study, there were 757
confirmed incident cases of gout. Increasing coffee intake was inversely
associated with the risk for gout, with multivariate relative risks (RRs)
for incident gout of 1.00, 0.97, 0.92, 0.60 (95% confidence interval [CI],
0.41 - 0.87), and 0.41 (95% CI, 0.19 - 0.88) for coffee consumption
categories of 0, less than 1, 1 to 3, 4 to 5, and 6 or more cups per day,
respectively ... For decaffeinated coffee, the multivariate RRs for 0, less
than 1, 1 to 3, and 4 or more cups per day were 1.00, 0.83, 0.67 (95% CI,
0.54 - 0.82), and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.46 - 1.17), respectively"

Vitamin C Intake and
Serum Uric Acid Concentration in Men - J Rheumatol. 2008 May 1 -
"An inverse dose-response association was observed
through vitamin C intake of 400-500 mg/day, and then reached a plateau ...
Greater vitamin C intake was associated with lower prevalence of
hyperuricemia (serum uric acid > 6 mg/dl). Multivariate odds ratios for
hyperuricemia across total vitamin C intake categories were 1 (reference),
0.58, 0.57, 0.38, and 0.34 (95% CI 0.20-0.58; P for trend < 0.001). When we
used dietary data, which were assessed 4-8 years before blood collection, as
predictors, we observed similar inverse associations between vitamin C
intake and uric acid ... These population-based data indicate that vitamin C
intake in men is inversely associated with serum uric acid concentrations.
These findings support a potential role of vitamin C in the prevention of
hyperuricemia and gout" - See
