Yeast-rich foods could be linked to five-fold increase in gout attacks

It says: “Foods and drinks sweetened with fructose (often seen labelled as glucose-fructose syrup or corn syrup), as well as sweetened host drinks, increase the risk of developing gout, as well as the number of gout attacks.”

One place these crystals conglomerate is in the joints, possibly because the temperature in these areas is slightly lower than the rest of the body.
