is coffee bad for gout
Gout and Coffee. It's interesting: The diuretic effect of coffee is certainly bad for gout in an indirect way because it dehydrates. Perhaps, the coffee has some other benefits-but I've yet to see a scientific description for what it might do. think the diuretic side-effect of coffee is the main culprit to starting gout attacks. I drink way too much coffee so I think now I will drink an equal amount of water.
