Hyperbole and all that, I know... but, um, processed white bread and sugar are two of the exact things you should avoid for gout? Whole grain bread is good for gout
and the fiber helps lower your cholesterol. Or you could go with oatmeal and salted popcorn, which are both healthy whole grains that don't taste as grainy.
"Going veggie" really only helps if you're actually substituting vegetables and not just replacing the meat with extra refined carbs.
