So what’s in coffee that makes it so special? According to the study’s lead investigator, it could be the high content of chlorogenic acid, a strong antioxidant that also may improve insulin sensitivity. People with gout often have impaired insulin sensitivity—a precursor of diabetes.

In the second study, the researchers looked at another large group—the more than 14,000 men and women who were enrolled in the landmark US Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey study between 1988 and 1994—and found that levels of uric acid decreased with increasing coffee intake.

Although these studies aren’t conclusive, they do seem to suggest that drinking at least four cups of coffee a day could be of enormous help in preventing as well as managing this painful condition. And to be realistic, most of my Starbucks buddies would rather have four cups of coffee a day than four stalks of celery.
