I have always thought that uric acid was harmful for humans
Now, they're saying that it is never dangerous, never causes
gout and is actually the most powerful anti-oxidant against
aging and degeneration The theory comes from "metabolic
typing" approach to nutrition (Wallcott)

Physiologically is this correct or not?

Thanks Davide
