Four or more cups of
coffee a day appear to reduce the risk of
gout, a painful joint disorder caused by a buildup of
uric acid in the blood.
University of British Columbia researchers found that people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were more likely to have a much lower uric acid level in the blood compared with those who drank one or fewer cups. Tea had no measurable effect, but decaffeinated coffee did, suggesting that the active ingredient was not
caffeine.
