Hi Mike,

I just did some research on 'gout' and 'resveratrol' and I think you are mistaken. First off, it is my understanding that it is the yeast in wine that causes gout. In other words, you could safely enjoy grape juice. I had to stop taking nutitional yeast for the same reason. I do still enjoy my beer though, but the amount of yeast in beer is fairly small compared to the nutritional yeast I was downing in my daily smoothie.

If anything, resveratrol should perhaps help with gout, although I don't think there are any studies underway looking at the relationship. And keep in mind that the resveratrol is often derived from sources other than grape skins, such as japanese knot weed.
