It is said that when you don’t eat for a long period of time or you lose weight quickly, your liver releases extra cholesterol into the bile.
Why would it want to release “extra cholesterol” into the bile? What is it trying to achieve?
In: Biology
Body Metabolizes fat during rapid weight loss to provide energy, you are literally using up the fat to provide energy for your body.
To support this metabolization, the liver excretes extra cholesterol into bile.
How does gallstone form? when too much cholesterol is secreted that bile can’t dissolve fast enough forming clumps and harden.
So you see the problem. More body fat lost = more cholesterol released = more cholesterol that bile can’t dissolve = stone.
