Studies:

conclusion: Urinary crystallization studies revealed that the animal protein diet, when its electrolyte composition and quantity of protein were kept the same as for the vegetarian diet, conferred an increased risk for uric acid stones

Cherries -- One half pound of cherries per day (fresh or frozen) for 2 weeks lowers uric acid and prevents attacks.

more from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School:

fruits, such as cherries and high intakes of vegetable protein diet may reduce serum urate levels.

from the University of Bonn:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
