Dr. Berg talks about gallstones. The question is, "Will intermittent fasting cause gallstones?". When we don't eat, we concentrate our bile up to 20x. The more concentrated it is, the more we are ensured that we do not get stones. Saturated fat triggers the release of bile. But, low fat dries up the bile. It's the lack of bile that causes gallstones, not the excess. High carbs tend to lower your bile and cause gallstones as well.

0:48.0	is what causes gallstones is a lack of something called bile b i l e okay
0:57.6	b i l e okay b b i a l is made by the liver
0:59.7	it's stored in the gall bladder
1:02.3	so during a given day the gallbladder will store and
