Gallstones and Vegetarian HealthA study of more than 750 women found that non-vegetarians were almost twice as likely to develop gall stones as vegetarians. Vegetarians are leaner, and consume more dietary fibre and less dietary cholesterol, all of which is believed to protect against gallstone formation. Sources include: Pixley, F et al. (1985) Effect of vegetarianism on development of gall stones in women. BMJ v.291 p.11-12. Vegetarian Healthy Diet Program |
