"This is the first reported controlled trial of dietary intervention in patients with gout, and suggests that (enriched skim milk powder) may reduce the frequency of gout flares,” the authors write in an article published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. The authors are from the University of Auckland and the Fonterra Research Center. (In the interest of full disclosure, Fonterra is the largest dairy cooperative in New Zealand.)
