Does gout come from consuming animal products? Hmm, I hadn’t heard that, before.
Opposite actually - fructose intake, alcohol intake (same pathway as fructose in liver), advanced glycation end products (glucose intake) are the major drivers of gout.

Basically the old connection that meat can drive uric acid a bit and uric acid is a component of gout isn’t actually helpful, during a active flare up avoiding meat can help reduce uric acid levels a tiny bit but it does nothing to address the systemic cause of the gout in the first place. i.e. Watermelons have a high water content but are not causal in drownings, but avoid eating watermelons while actively drowning… same thing
DIAAS
DIAAS recommends using pigs for the reference readings as their GI tract more closely matches humans then other animals.
As far as published opinions go, this is a wild one, the opinion cites other opinions for it’s basis, and recommends PDCAAS (rat based) because it’s more favorable to the conclusion the author wants. It’s a really strong, and totally unjustified statement, to say that fibre is a more important nutrient then protein. (people will die without protein, but they wont die without fibre)
not to mention the admitted conflicts
