Is daily drinking of a glass of milk or one cup of coffee harmful to our body? If yes, then can it be substituted by milk powder or any other similar product? I have suffered from gout, so will milk be harmful in that context to my body?

Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in men over 40 years. 1 Gout arises when uric acid builds up in the blood because the body either makes too much uric acid or cannot eliminate it effectively. However, the exact cause that triggers this accumulation is unknown. In the long term, the accumulation of uric acid leads to hyperuricemia, and this can generate the formation and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joints and/or kidneys A significantly greater reduction in the frequency of gout flares was observed for the group that received the enriched skim milk powder compared to the lactose control; Greater improvements in fractional excretion of uric acid and in pain, in addition to trends of improvements in tender joint count, were observed in the enriched skim milk group.
