DESCRIPTION: How do sweet cherries compare to the drug allopurinol and a low purine diet for the treatment of the painful inflammatory arthritis gout?

More about the inflammation fighting effects of sweet cherries in my last video Anti-inflammatory Life is a Bowl of Cherries (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-inflammatory-life-is-a-bowl-of-cherries).
