Another reason why whey protein is still my favorite

Hey guys
There was a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that looked at 47,150 men over 12 years examining risk factors for gout. They found that higher levels of meat and seafood consumption were associated with increased risk of gout, whereas higher consumption of dairy products had a decreased risk.
Just another reason why whey protein (milk protein) continues to be one of my favorites.

In case any one is wondering what is gout, here is a great definition from the Mayo Clinic website (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gout/DS00090): a form of arthritis that’s characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness and tenderness in joints.
