JANZO

Gout is described as painful arthritic attacks of the joints caused by crystallization of urates within and about the joints. Words like by excruciating, sudden, unexpected, burning pain, as well as swelling, redness, warmth, and stiffness are bandied about as well. The whole deal is caused by elevated uric acid in the bloodstream.

Ragusa lists uric acid as a major ingredient after sugar and cocoa.
