I've been a rock farm for several years now ..

Sometimes when it really acts up I can hear them rattle when I walk .. (course it ain't been that bad for years now ..)

If the bladder is removed then the bile duct will assume some of the same job ..

Cholesterol runs through this feedback loop:

GI -> blood stream -> liver -> gaul bladder -> then back to the GI ..

Trick is to latch it in the GI so that some (or most) of it doesn't get reabsorbed into the blood stream.

Fiber, period.

One thing that I haven't looked for is literature about the impact on blood cholesterol levels after the gaul bladder has been removed. I would expect it to be higher than before it was removed. Either that or fat storage in the liver would go up a lot.

Either way, the function that the bladder serves as a natural means of removing cholesterol from the body would be reduced.
