I have published this page prior to completing all the hub pages for each stage of Gout Progression. So once I organize all Gout Progression stages, I will rewrite this section to reflect how gout pain management fits into the entire gout control process.

pH Level of Chocolate

I'm working on a new page to explain the pH of chocolate. Because the answer depends on why you ask this question.

Is it because you are: * Interested in canning chocolate? * Trying to balance sweet and sour flavors in recipes containing chocolate? * Concerned about the effects of chocolate on the mouth, esophagus, or stomach? * Analyzing chocolate for the effect on your kidneys after digestion?

For those first three options, I've started a pH of Food Workshop

To get updates on my new content before it is published, I recommend that you subscribe to my free newsletter.

As I will explain at Uric Acid Treatment Best Practice. When I rewrite and extend that page to reflect Gout Progression Phase 5: Start Uric Acid Cure.

Uric Acid Arthritis Leading gout rheumatologists are starting to understand how changing the name of gout might promote better understanding and treatment. So some are suggesting a name change from gout to urate crystal arthritis.

Personally, I prefer uric acid arthritis. Which I'm currently rewriting to reflect the latest research.

This is by far the most common misspelling of probenecid. Extending to published research papers. It's probably the only one worth mentioning in the next version of this page. Alongside common brand names.

I need to double check those studies to review the dosage. Because cod liver oil is a rich source of vitamin A. And, as noted in the old gout forum, excesses of vitamin A are bad for gout. However, I need to: * Confirm minimum requirements for vtamin A * Look for other vitamin A & uric acid studies * Compare doses in studies to minimum requirements.

Also, of less importance, but for completeness, the PRAL score for cod liver oil is zero.

This experiment is too vague to be meaningful. Because a meaningful standard would include daily targets for: * Vitamin C * Negative acid load total (alkaline load) * Positive acid load total. Emphasizing that PRAL scores need to be balanced across essential elements. So that could start with daily recomendations for protein and phosphorous. * Iron * Purines

So the best option is to wait for new ALKAscore tables for grains (whole and refined). Then do gout versions with extra columns. Also consider splitting grains tables. Because most people are looking for breakfast cereals, and see other types of grains as separate searches.

Subsequently, I've found some apple vinegar studies. So I need to update this article to reflect those.
