Thanks, Ben. This information is nice, as it gives an interesting food perspective on inflammatory foods and Ketosis. I am studying Gout and have gone through most of the different researches on gout and talking with a lot of people too, etc. This includes Keto diets.
Going full keto or carnivore diet might reduce gout flares in some people, indeed but is not proven with a wide population group, that does reduce the uric acid - actually it is the reverse. Thus, I would take this with a grain of salt. Yes, on these videos we have statements that uric acid is an anti-oxydant, but this coin also has two sides: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2895915/
Gout management includes a lot of tiny steps, and requires military discipline, including drinking a lot of water (if your organism allows this), having regular anaerobic exercises daily - swimming, walking. No alcohol, no sugar, etc.
Keto / Carnivore diet needs to be examined in a controlled study for prolonged time - e.g. a year. Only this way we can say something is certain. As there is no one diet to match them all, and gout is very specific, as it usually goes with a lot of other interconnected conditions - I believe this is the way to achieve this. But I will definitely dig deeper in this direction as well!
