Genetic Gout Prevented With This Drink

The traditional medical system has no cure for gout. Its only suggestion is to cut out a few food items, such as red meat and alcohol.

However, two new studies have appeared in scientific journals revealing a specific drink that can drastically tackle gout.

By drastically, we’re talking about up to 100%!

In the first of the two studies, published in Rheumatology, researchers analyzed data on 447,658 UK Biobank participants, all initially devoid of gout symptoms. The researchers recorded the participants’ tea consumption and then checked which of them developed gout in the following years.

Over a median period of 13.42 years, 3,053 cases of gout were reported. Compared to those who did not drink tea, those who drank more than six cups of tea daily had a 23% lower risk of developing gout.

This finding seems to suggest that tea consumption prevents gout, right?

Not quite.

It is also possible that a healthy gout profile, through some still unidentified process, causes people to crave tea.

This is a typical shortcoming of what scientists call an observational study. A link between tea consumption and gout occurrence, for example, does not prove that one causes the other.

The strongest conclusion that can be drawn is that the two are somehow related.

How can we determine whether there is a causal relationship between tea consumption and gout?

The second study on the same topic, published in the latest edition of Frontiers in Genetics, addresses this question.

Scientists obtained datasets pertaining to different genetic variants. One of the datasets involved genes related to tea intake, and the other three involved genes related to gout.

For the genes that predicted tea intake, the researchers recorded whether the people with and without those genes later developed gout.

For the genes that predisposed people to gout, they recorded whether people with and without those genes became tea drinkers or not.

This is an example of a great way to test causal relationships. The genes are the causes, and the later events are the effects.

This study confirmed that the relationship found in the previous study is, in fact, a causal one.

1. Tea consumption decreased genetically gout-prone participants’ risk of gout by more than 50%.

2. Conversely, reduced tea consumption increased the participants’ risk of gout by almost 100%.

This means that increasing your tea intake can offer protective benefits against gout. These findings are crucial, especially considering the debilitating nature of gout and its impact on an individual’s quality of life.

Tea doesn’t cure gout, no matter how much you drink. Thousands of readers have, however, completely healed their gout using the simple natural steps explained here…
