hi guys hope this help.
Coincidentally, I am working on a review of this skim milk study.
It looks promising, but was done on only 16 subjects none of whom had gout. I look forward to the promised additional research with gout sufferers. Also, it would be nice to see figures for normal whole milk as well as soya milk.
One thing that puzzles me about the emedicinehealth review is the credit given to orotic acid (vitamin B13). Though this is a known uricosuric (promotes the excretion of uric acid), the study looked at three different types of skim milk. One (late season skim milk) is very high in B13, but another (MPC 85) is very low in B13. Both achieved a 10% reduction in uric acid after 3 hours, so the “active ingredient” is unlikely to be orotic acid. Maybe they didn't study the press release properly?
Anyway, it is good to see that the statistical research done some years ago that suggested gouty benefits for dairy products is finally prompting some practical research.
Make mine a skinny latte
since ive read this article about skim milk and gout ive strated drinking it, amd it seem to work before i had a uric acid level of 11.6 now i'm on 6.3 and im felling better now but i havent tried drinking beer yet
Everything that I've read implies that skim milk is the best protein source for gouties. My guess for the methodology is that the high calcium content of milk causes an alkalinization of the body and perhaps increased urate excretion.
If your numbers are representative d3x, the drop in SUA iis remarklable but I wouldn''t take one set of readings to the bank.
Keep us posted!
