Best Answer

If you are suffering from the arthritic disease gout then nuts can aggravate the problem as they are high in purines and will tend to push up the production of uric acid leading to the production of uric acid crystal collecting in joints and other tissue causing inflammation and pain. However it should not have any great effect on conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

"There is no scientific evidence that diet has any effect on Rheumatoid arthritis"

Take that as it stands, however as an RA sufferer I will tell you that diet has everything to do with RA. Everyone is different. What is a trigger in one person may not be a trigger another. Get yourself some good books on RA and monitor your own diet and lifestyle to see what your triggers are.
