Good for the gallbladder.(Goodnews: essential natural health news)
Women who eat vegetables to get their daily protein have a reduced chance of eventually having a cholecystectomy--gallbladder removal--according to a study that appeared in the July 1, 2004, edition of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
The gallbladder stores bile, used to emulsify beneficial fats so the body can absorb them. Half a million cholecystectomies are performed every year in the United States, usually because of gallstones.
Vegetable protein had previously been found to prevent gallstones in animals. And now, the new study--which followed 7,831 women over a period of 20 years--has concluded that the risk of requiring a cholecystectomy decreased in women who had high intakes of vegetable protein as opposed to animal protein.
Based on these results, researchers recommended that women increase their consumption of vegetable protein as a protective measure.
