coming back. Your uric acid levels will only respond if you change your lifestyle and
nothing else.
What do you mean by lifestyle Spiro? I mean look at yourself in the mirror and don’t lie
to yourself. If you are overweight you gotta begin dropping the pounds. If you smoke it
is time to butt out! If you are stressed it is time to rid of the problem causing you the
stress. Check out my post on stress. If you love to drink it is time to limit your alcohol
intake, if you want to avoid those painful gout attacks. If you have a sweet tooth for
things all sugar, best you limit that or face other diseases other than gout down the
road.
This e-book will teach you the right way to eat and live a healthier, happier life. Most
importantly I will dispel some common myths about food that the masses get wrong. I’ll
give you an example. I always advocated that we consume no more than 5% of our
calories as sugar, say about 25mg a day max. Obviously, some people barked at such an
assumption since no medical authority has come out publicly to state such an opinion
yet. Well as of March 5th 2014, the World Health Organization came out with a new
recommendation that sugar should be no more than 5% of your daily calories and since
2002 they’ve been recommending 10% of your daily calories can be sugar. Truth is most
people consume more than 10% of their daily calories in sugar and that is tragic. Many
of these people will go on to develop gout, diabetes and other diseases if they don’t
change their ways.

the main culprit in fighting diseases like cancer and food companies started removing
fat from foods that naturally had them like cheese, milk, yogurt and even butter
recommending it being replaced with margarine. I remember my mom buying
margarine in the 1980s, everybody was buying it and look at the destruction it’s done to
the health of so many people. Now medical authorities have changed their mind again
by keeping the fat that naturally occurs in cheese, milk and yogurt and labelling it as a
healthy food to eat again, hence the greek yogurt craze! This type of meddling creates
the ball of confusion we live in today.
Nowadays, poor gluten is taking the beating! The market for gluten-free products is
exploding and we don’t know exactly why. Many people perceive gluten-free as simply
