GI Cancer After Cholecystectomy: Is Bile Involved in Carcinogenesis?
Considering the large number of patients who come through my office lacking their gall bladders, this article has some serious implications. Remember that the gallbladder is designed to collect bile as it is made by the liver and then release it in response to a fatty meal to help absorb the digested fat. Without a gallbladder (which mainstream medicine sometimes appears to consider as a vestigial organ…) the bile leaks into the GI tract as it is produce by the liver–this will occur at times when nothing is present in the GI tract for the bile acids to emulsify. It appears that these bile acids doing nothing increase the risk of not only intestinal cancer, but also esophageal cancer. This study is incredibly large and therefore the results are more likely to hold true for everyone.
