Indeed, fructose, most likely, and really it's not funny when you get
an attack of gout, so please don't laugh at my misfortune. When you
get gout (and I hope you don't, I wouldn't wish it even on you), you
tend to keep an eye open for anything that might help. When new
information appears, I like to investigate and experiment to see if it
gives me new ways to alleviate the problem. So far, I appear to have
had good results from being more careful about the quantity of
fructose I ingest, so I'd like to take it a bit further, if possible.
You see, gout's very painful, and I don't like that; I'm odd like
that. I've always been averse to pain, for some reason.
Perhaps you like pain? I hear it's $20, same as downtown.

You wouldn't understand. But here are some clues, you appear to be in
want of them:

I could go on, but those are just the first few hits (disregarding one
apparently commercial hit) on Google for "fructose gout" (without
quotes).

No, of course I didn't. Isn't it time for your afternoon nap?
Doesn't time just fly by when you're having fun!

Einstein? What a relative lightweight!
