Gall stones
Some causative factors
- Excessive dietary
saturated fat
- Excessive refined carbohydrates (sugar and white flour).
Promising nutritional research
13 test subjects with probable gall stones were given refined and unrefined
carbohydrate diets for six weeks each. The refined carbohydrate diet increased
bile cholesterol saturation and the investigators concluded that the avoidance
of refined carbohydrate foods could reduce the risk of gall stones. Thornton
JR et al: Diet and gall stones: effects of refined and unrefined carbohydrate
diets on bile cholesterol saturation and bile acid metabolism. Gut 24(1):2-6,
1983.
