People with gout may be able to cut in half their risk of recurrent attacks by eating about 20 cherries a day, preliminary research suggests.
The findings support years of anecdotal reports from patients that cherries help keep the inflammatory arthritic condition in check, doctors here say.
Still, the study does not prove cause and effect, just that there appears to be an association between eating cherries and a lower risk of recurrent gout attacks. People with gout who eat cherries may share some other characteristic that makes them less prone to flare-ups.
In the study of 633 gout patients recruited via the Internet, 20 cherries -- equivalent to two servings or 1 cup -- appeared to be the magic number as far as preventing future flare-ups, says researcher Yuqing Zhang,MD, of the Boston University School of Medicine.
"Having one serving in the past 48 hours didn't help," he tells WebMD. And eating three or more servings of cherries offered no substantial protection beyond that associated with two servings, Zhang says.
Cherry extract, found in specialty and health food stores, did appear to do the trick, he says.
The findings were presented at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting.
Gout occurs when uric acid builds up in the body, causing crystals to form in the joints and surrounding tissue. The resulting inflammatory reaction causes intens pain and swelling. Gout attacks tend to recur and frequently affect the big toe, knee, and ankle joints.
