Uric acid and ADHD symptoms - impulsivity, risk taking, hyperactivity
I've been doing some reading around the impact of uric acid on people and came across these studies which appear to suggest elevated uric acid is correlated with impulsivity, risk taking and hyperactivity.
I found this interesting as since a child I've definitely struggled with ADHD type behaviours, impulsivity being the worst.
I'm not a scientist, or even remotely intelligent so I'm not posting this claiming it proves anything but I found the correlation interesting.
I've also been reading about uric acid and cognitive stimulation which is interesting. Shame it can cause so much f'ing pain.
Here's the links if anyone is interested:

P.S. It's just struck me that the "add flair" option feels particularly cruel on this subreddit!
