JAKARTA - The intake of foods containing purines is a major factor in the condition of gout. This is a physical disease that causes excruciating pain in the body, especially in the joints.

Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the formation and secretion of excessive uric acid in the body. Uric acid causes the formation of crystals in cartilage, tendons, joints, and various other tissues in the body, particularly in and around joints.

The knee joint is the most severely affected by gout. People with gout experience excruciating pain in the joints, especially the knees, and they even find it difficult to sit, stand or walk properly.
