Dr. Gabe Mirkin, M.D., Report on Gall Stones - Sounds Like a Healthy Vegetarian Diet Is The Answer
We've all heard (or experienced first hand) that gall stones aren't fun. But you know, I've been a veganish vegetarian for a long time, I'm 61, and I've never had a gall bladder attack - touch wood. Which makes me wonder.
Dr. Mirkin's report on gall stones gives me the distinct impression that a healthy vegetarian diet is a great way to prevent them. Not that he comes right out and recommends going veg. But he does say that the best way to treat gall stones is to prevent them, and the best diet for that is a low fat plant based diet. And other interesting things, such as that being overweight or losing weight rapidly are the main culprits, and why. And that having your gall bladder removed isn't always a good idea...
Why not just read the whole report!
