USDA National Nutrient database. Release SR20 Free gout resources don't get better than this - if published in book format it would be worth about US$40. This database is an excellent nutritional resource, courtesy of the USDA (United States Dept. of Agriculture) Nutrient Data Laboratory, Agriculture Research Service, and HealtheTech Inc. Its full name is the USDA National Nutrient Database for Windows, Standard Release SR20. The standard amount (default setting) is for 100 grams, (and fluid ounces in the case of beverages) but you can alter this figure to for example 200 grams or other amounts for foods. Alternatively, specific amounts of fluid ounces in the case of beverages. Additionally, for example, do you want to know the top foods and beverages for a certain vitamin (e.g. potassium or folic acid), sorted by nutrient content amount, from highest to lowest? The results, called reports, (about 25 pages) will arrive in Adobe Reader format and can be downloaded to your PC. And you can sort the results alphabetically by foods or beverages, and download the reports in Adobe Reader. e.g. do you want an alphabetical list (A to Z) of all the foods and beverages in the database containing potassium (or whatever nutrient), and how much each food and beverage contains? Even better than this, you can also download this database free-of-charge to conduct your own investigations on your own computer offline.It is not the same as the flavonoids database (below), which is for the flavonoid content of selected foods only. The database works with computers running Windows PC. You will need to be running Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME or Windows 98SE. It uses about 90mg of hard drive disk space, 70 for the database application, 20mg for the installer.(On the site the text says there is a Mac version, handheld computer versions and a version that can be imported into Microsoft Access). Visit the USDA National Nutrient database here Scroll down to where the text says "download the database for use on your computer with various software packages." Click on this. On the next page that arrives click on "pcs20 exe" to download it. There is also an 11 page downloadable guide in Adobe Reader which explains how to download, and how to use
the database. Click on "user's guide."
The whole process has been made very straightforward and easy to use. You need Adobe Reader to read the guide and the reports below. Get Adobe Reader free here, if you do not have it, This database does not have information on the purine content of foods nor the pH potential of foods. And for flavonoids, you will need to use the flavonoids database. If you want the sorted reports, alphabetically or highest to lowest, you will have to go back online to the site to do this, and then download the results in PDF format. This is just about the best of the free gout resourses. The knowledge can be used to know how much of good-for-gout and other vitamins each food contains and you can make a gout diet plan from it.
What's the difference between the Flavonoids database and the ORAC database? The flavonoids database shows the estimated flavonoid content (amount) in foods and beverages. Because of the flavonoids there is antioxidant capacity. The ORAC database shows the measured estimated antioxidant capacity (strength) of foods and beverages. The ORAC database is not, as yet, as large as the flavonoids database, so you will not be able to find the antioxidant capacity of all the foods and beverages for which you can learn the flavonoid content. You can download the ORAC database at this link:
