Thanks for letting me know. This is a good example of the misinformation

that can happen on the internet, including email groups like this one. Just

because someone (me or anyone else) writes something and says they read it

somewhere, doesn't make it the gospel truth. This is one of the reasons

that I often ask people for backup to find where they got their info (which

annoys some people, I know!). But this one shows the value of verifying

from more than one source! Then again, that information showed up on

several different sites when I did a search. So then I guess it comes down

to knowing the source and going with the one you can trust. Since Dale has

been around this biz for a substantial length of time, I'm willing to bank on

his research more so than some websites that I'm not real familiar with!

Thanks for pointing out the mistake, Dale. My apologies for putting out

incorrect information (even if it was done unknowingly).

in health,

I got that from myvits.com. If you go to his website, there is a list of

things like gallbladder, heart, liver, all kinds of different things where

there's problems. I simply clicked his link for the gallbladder. That's Dr.

Springer's website, the one who's a chiropractor. And since Dale asked, I

was simply trying to help.

Quoting Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dict., pg. 768, under:

Gallbladder, " A pear-shaped sac on the underside of the right lobe of the

liver that stores bile received from the liver. While in the gallbladder,

bile is concentrated by removing water. About 500 to 600 ml of bile, approx.

82% water, is secreted each day. The bile is then discharged through the

cystic duct, which is 3 to 4 in. (7.6 to 10.2 cm) long. The cystic duct,

which is about 0.25 in. (6 mm) in diameter, joins the hepatic duct to form

the common bile duct, which empties into the duodenum at the ampulla of

Vater. "

You did help, Susie. I was the one who sent out the information that was

inaccurate.

The confusion, I think, is that this is talking about how much

bile is secreted by the liver each day, but not what is stored

in the gall bladder. The size of the gall bladder and how much

is stored in it is not mentioned. Interesting info, though, thanks.

I was interested in the fact that it says that it is released into

the duodenum? Referring to narrowing section of stomach

before small intestine? I thought it went right into the small intestine,

but this would explain why trouble with the liver and gall

bladder would affect the stomach...again, I'm just doing a little

figuring on my own here, and could be way off, so correct me :-)

I should get out my anatomy and phys book.
