Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have noticed significant interest in Quorn. But my search results only reveal occasional short discussions. Yet, I'm aware of some interesting gout studies that include facts about effects of Quorn and related vegetarian protein meals.

Describe the solution you'd like In my opinion and experience, dietitians start with food groups rather than single products such as Quorn. Also, my initial research supports this view. So I'd like to learn more about how gout sufferers approach protein intake. Then I can present appropriate scientific findings in the most useful way.

Related to that, I need to review relevant protein intake advice within guidelines and other prominent gout studies.

As ever, my priorities are determined by your interest and involvement. So, please share your thoughts about Quorn and other meat substitutes.
