In a response to a TV episode on the show Royal Pains, I analyze the claims that a high fat diet will necessarily lead to the pain associated with gout and gout attacks. The conventional wisdom seems often analogous to popular, but wrong cholesterol theorem that dietary cholesterol leads to increased cholesterol in the blood. Is the popular theory right? What is Gout? Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when abnormally high levels of uric acid build up in the body, causing crystals to form in joints. The crystals cause sudden, severe attacks of joint pain and swelling. Uric acid is a substance that is normally released by the kidneys when the body breaks down waste products called purines. When the kidneys are no longer able to flush uric acid out of the body properly, it crystallizes and accumulates around the joints.

We are supposedly courting heart disease, and are on a dangerous road to poor health. The truth is that low-carb diets focus on nutritious, healthy food, and research into reducing carbs continues to show more and more positive results. Here are the myths about low-carb diets I hear most often. 1. Low Carb = No Carb This misconception is the idea that a low-carb diet must be really really low in carbohydrates. You will read that low carb diets attempt to eliminate carbohydrates, for example. Fact: Not one low-carb diet author advocates this. Even Atkins Induction, which is very low in carbohydrates, is not no carb, is only meant to last two weeks, and actually can be skipped altogether, according to the Atkins Web site. Fact: Diet authors who recommend reducing carbs have all sorts of different ideas about carb levels. Fact: The carbohydrate level should be adjusted to the individual. Fact: Over the years, the nutritional establishment has been gradually lowering the range of recommended carbohydrate in the diet, at the same time condemning reduced-carb diets, some of which may be recommending the lower end of the new accepted range, or close to it. Example: Dr. Dean Edell, a prominent media physician, once stated that the Zone Diet, a …
