Does Atkins cause gall stones? Probably not. THe gallbladder is
built to squirt out bile to break down fat-stones are caused by
bile building up in gallbladder.

Alcoholism-are Atkins dieters more likely to indulge-a personal

percentage of all patients do? and what amount of dieters ever
develop symptoms?

Maybe we should ask Ashcroft to investigate
he is recovering from gallbladder surgery.
