Chirag,

2 cups of coffee per day will do to beat the heat. It can be undesirable if you exceed more than this quantity.

DRINKING COFFEE. GOUT.

Coffee still plays a big role even today when four people meet, and as mentioned in the above article, this drink has much more to offer than many people think. The latest revelation is that Coffee may cut risk of GOUT. And if men ever needed a reason to justify an extra cup of coffee, here it is:- four or more cups a day appear to reduce the risk of Gout, Canadian researchers said recently.

Gout is a painful joint disorder caused by a build up of Uric acid in the blood. In the past, patients suffering from Gout were asked to avoid Coffee.

A study based on a survey of 50000 men aged 40 to 75 with no history of gout was undertaken. Men were asked to drink coffee. There were men who drank decaffeinated coffee also. They also were benefitted , the researchers said, but tea appeared to have no effect. The researchers found significantly low levels of Uric acid in the blood of those who consumed large quantitities of coffee. Uric acid is the compound that caused gout.

The findings appeared to suggest that something in the coffee other than caffeine — such as a strong antioxident– may be helping to reduce the uric acid levels.

So, if you are drinking coffee already and have gout or are at a higher risk of developing gout, there is no need to reduce or stop coffee consumption. Reuters News.

Hi Michael,
It is quite okay to stick to decaf and 16oz is really too much. You dont need to completely quit drinking coffee just cut it down. For your blood pressure to be high, you may be stressed. So I suggest take adequate rest and relax.
I suggest you switch over to herbal teas. You can keep tea bags in your desk and all you need is hot water to dunk the tea bags. So you can still be in the social circle. Green tea and other keep you more healthier and strengthen your immunity
