Now we can all have food and drink rich in gout-causing properties, like red meats, turkey, gravy and beer. The holidays are full of such rich delights. Often the first sign of gout is a painful, inflamed big toe. It might feel like a scorpion has taken over the tip of your foot. Gout happens when your body has too many uric acid crystals. Purines, which are found in most foods, break down into uric acids. Too much uric acid creates uric acid crystals. Normally, your body excretes the uric acid as a waste byproduct, no problem. But when you have foods high in purines or medicines that either produce uric acid or block your kidneys from excreting the uric acid, the crystals gather. Purines are in foods high in protein and fat, like vegetable oils, greasy burgers and fatty fish. Other foods high in purine are liver, kidneys, anchovies, and the great American bird — turkey. Gout is more common with beer than whiskey, and not associated with wine. Common medicines that may cause gout are some blood pressure medications and aspirin. Gout is more common among men, and those 40 to 60 years old. The crystals can gather in other joints, not just the big toe, doing silent damage. Uric acid crystals can also form kidney stones. The flare-ups are warning signs that your uric acid levels are too high. High levels of uric acid that do not cause symptoms can be damaging and need to be assessed and treated. The test for gout is a simple blood test to assess uric acid levels. High level of uric acid is called hyperuricemia. Translation: hyper (high) uric (uric acid) emia (in the blood). The good news is that gout can be controlled by changing what you eat, and by medications. If you think you have gout, go see your health care practitioner. Fortunately, gout can often be treated with generic medications, which tend to be less costly. For some people, the inflammation can be treated with a common over the counter medication such as ibuprofen, but you also want to be sure to get your uric acid levels down. Drugs to treat gout block the production of uric acid or improve your body’s ability to excrete uric acid. So if you are going to go easy on the turkey and the beer, what’s left? Those side dishes can offer gout-free delights. Most fruits and vegetables have lots of potassium, which helps get rid of uric acid crystals in your blood. Bananas, avocados, spinach, potatoes, asparagus, beets and pumpkin are full of potassium. So you have a good reason to enjoy those sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. Antioxidant-rich vegetables like green beans, celery, corn, mustard greens, and red and green peppers can also help. Enjoy berries (strawberry picking time in Oviedo starts soon at Pappy’s Patch, 407-366-8512), cherries, grapes, peaches and plums. Cereals, rice, pasta, nuts, seeds and low-fat dairy foods are alternatives to purine-rich foods. Also drink plenty of water – eight to 12 glasses a day. It helps wash the uric acid out of your body.

Advancing age is the most important risk factor for cancer overall and for many individual cancer types. The incidence rates for cancer overall climb steadily as age increases, from fewer than 25 cases per 100,000 people in age groups under age 20, to about 350 per 100,000 people among those aged 45–49, to more than 1,000 per 100,000 people in age groups 60 years and older. Enlarge Incidence rates by age at diagnosis, all cancer types. Source: SEER 21 2013–2017, all races, both sexes. Credit: National Cancer Institute According to the most recent statistical data from NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, the median age of a cancer diagnosis is 66 years. This means that half of cancer cases occur in people below this age and half in people above this age. A similar pattern is seen for many common cancer types. For example, the median age at diagnosis is 62 years for breast cancer, 67 years for colorectal cancer, 71 years for lung cancer, and 66 years for prostate cancer. But cancer can be diagnosed at any age. For example, bone cancer is most frequently diagnosed in children and adolescents (people under age 20), with about one-fourth of cases occurring in this age group. And 12% of brain and other nervous system cancers are diagnosed in children and adolescents, whereas only 1% of cancer overall is diagnosed in this age group.
