Cherries
At least a couple of research results showed that cherries could help in the treatment of gout. At the 2010 annual meeting of the European League Against Rheumatism, a small study was presented, indicating that patients who took one tsp. of concentrated cherry juice two times per day for more than four months noticed at least their gout attacks reduce to about 50%.
In a 2012 study, fewer gout attacks were experienced by patients who used cherry extracts or ate cherries in two days following the consumption of cherry than the next two days when they did not consume cherry extract or cherries. Plus, research suggests cherries may be helpful in treat gout, as it contains compounds to help reduce the levels of uric acid, and also, attenuate inflammation.[2]
