Explanation:

Gout is a type of arthritis, an inflammatory condition of the joints.
Gout symptoms or "attacks" occur when there is too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product made by the body when it digests certain foods.
Fortunately, research shows that restricting high-purine foods and taking the appropriate medication can prevent gout attacks.
Gout patients should avoid meats such as liver, kidney and sweetbreads, which have high purine levels and contribute to high blood levels of uric acid.
