"Our study included 633 individuals with gout. Cherry intake over a 2-day period was associated with a 35% lower risk of gout attacks compared with no intake. Cherry extract intake showed a similar inverse association. The effect of cherry intake persisted across subgroups stratified by sex, obesity status, purine intake, alcohol use, diuretic use, and use of antigout medications. When cherry intake was combined with allopurinol use, the risk of gout attacks was 75% lower than during periods without either exposure."

Maybe worth a try for those suffering from this painful condition.
My husband has xbox friends in Canada who recommended cherry extract. I can't find it at the store in the section where the other extracts are, must need to order it online.
