The results of the study were that 17 subjects (81%) were obese and 4 subjects (19%) were overweight. All subjects received GDS levels <200 mg/dl. 13 subjects were experiencing uric acid >7.0 mg/dl and 8 female subjects having >5.7 mg/dl. A total of 13 subjects (62%) were not taking medication or dietary supplements and 8 subjects (38%) were taking medication or dietary supplements. Subjects who are overweight and obese do not experience health problems related to blood sugar levels at any time. Health problems that arise that are related to hyperuricemia occur in male subjects with levels (7.1-10.5 mg/dl) and women (5.9-8.4 mg/dl).
