It didn't work for me

I have suffered from that wonderful seventeenth century affliction known as the gout since my early thirties. I can tell you unequivocally that I have never experienced anything as painful as the now thankfully rare attacks. It can get so bad that the weight of a bed sheet on the afflicted joint is excruciating.

Well researchers from the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada are reporting that drinking four or more cups of coffee a day dramatically reduces the incidence of attacks.

Well it hasn't worked for me. I probably drink four or more cups five days out of seven since my late teens.
