How does cherry juice help gout if gout is caused by high uric acid and cherry juice is acidic?

Cherry juice may help manage gout by reducing inflammation and lowering uric acid levels, despite its acidity. Compounds in cherries, such as anthocyanins, have anti-inflammatory properties that can alleviate gout symptoms. Additionally, some studies suggest that consuming cherries or cherry juice can lead to a decrease in uric acid levels, potentially reducing the frequency of gout attacks. Thus, cherry juice's benefits come from its bioactive compounds rather than its acidity.
