Pittsburg, Kansas | Originally back a few hundred years ago gout pretty much only happened in the wealthy, because most poor were calorie limited in getting enough food to eat to cause it. The wealthy were the most likely to be over weight because they had a lot more food at their disposal.
Now it is kind of the opposite. The wealthy can afford steak and other high nutrient density meat whereas the poor are stuck with mostly cheap starchy foods. Bread, potatoes, pasta and 99 cent two liter bottles of Coke.
Eat a big steak and there is not much room for the potatoes and bread. But go ahead and eat the potatoes and bread along with the steak and the insulin rises and the perfect combination of fat and carbohydrates will balloon up any person over the years.
Even the poor among us in the US are "rich" compared to people in most third world countries. So other than the very small percentage of people that actually go to bed hungry, nearly everyone else in the US is "rich" when it comes to eating habits.
Dr Ekberg has a lot of good information. I don't agree with all he says, but he brings a lot of research to the table.
You should watch it all. It has good information, at least till he gets to the corn and GMO discussion.
