Gout is commonly linked to the consumption of (cooked) meat by numerous studies such as this one:-
http://arthritis.about.com/cs/gout/a/foodstoavoid.htm
(granted, though, there are other factors cited such as corn-syrup as well).
One thing that I've noticed is that acquaintances of mine who live past a certain age always tend to greatly limit their consumption of cooked meat and go mostly vegetarian as they find that (cooked) meat greatly aggravates their arthritis/gout and other conditions.Indeed, it is commonly suggested to go in for raw plant foods to avoid gout.
Raw meat doesn't cause such problems as it doesn't have those heat-created toxins which aggravate conditions like arthritis etc. However, for those unable to transition to raw, it is at the least, vital to only lightly cook one's meats so as to avoid these particular issues or to add a higher percentage of raw veg into the diet.

I have not found the regime all that difficult and was pleased with the weight loss, but the discomfort has prevented my doing what I should have been doing today.
