Vitamin C vs Uric Acid?

[Coatue]

I heard some where that the uric acid found in red meat can supplement vitamin c that is not found in animal sources. Is this true? Also, doesn't high levels of uric acid (found in meat) cause gout?

My understanding is only COOKED meat causes too much uric acid.
Or those who eat TOO MUCH protein, too much raw protein will do it.
This is why raw protein must be buffered by raw fat.

I agree with gs. Its mainly from cooked meat. The zero carbers have no problems and they consume hundreds of grams of protein a day.

    That's my understanding.  I picked it up on the forum here.  People need Vitamin C because they lack uric acid from raw meat (which acts as an antioxidant in the body).

    I couldn't eat cooked meat, it made me too sick, always.  On vegan diet no matter how much Vitamin C I ingested, no matter the form (and I tried them all), I was always still deficient in C.  I was also allergic to it.  On raw meat I have no more water soluble/"stress" vitamin deficiency symptoms.

    It makes sense.  One symptom of the deficiency is connective tissue weakness (bruising/CTD's etc).  If we eat raw meat, we get all the nutrients in connective tissue, and undamaged at that.  I don't know why it took me eating raw meat to understand this.  Even if another way worked too, you'd have to eat so much more to make up the difference.

I read something about gout. It said there were two things that caused gout. One was uric acid, and the other was something to do with plants. It said that some animals had some property which made them immune/resistant to gout from one, the other or both. It said that humans were only immune/resistant to the gout caused by uric acid, whereas some relatives of the humans(it may have been monkeys alive today, I think it was) had the relevant properties activated(DNA?) to be resistant to both causes. I think the other cause was something in fruit.

I think it said that the DNA or something for the resistance to the gout from the plant cause was still in us but it was deactivate it, showing that at some time we used it, but lost our need for it at some point and only retained resistance to the meat gout.
