yeah I'm quite suspect of this study! My husband is a heavy coffe drinker. He

got terrible gallstones! Hundreds literally. How do I know...well he had

surgery and we went and picked up the stones from the lab. Got them in a ziplock

in our desk. I should take a pic and post for those that want to see.

>>>gallstones<<<

I'm really not sure about this one. A certain type of good coffee *maybe*

but certainly not ordinary run of the mill supermarket brand.

I used to drink coffee heavily and my Mother has been a heavy coffee drinker

since early teens and had her gallbladder removed at 26. To this day she

suffers pain with the same associated rise in liver enzymes (I believe that

all along her symptoms have been, and remain to be, liver stones) Yet, she

drinks enough coffee to sink a battleship, nowadays it's organic coffee

though which is a step in the right direction I suppose.

Blessings

Mama.

Yes please! It would be great to compare them to what is passed during a flush.
