  • Weight Watchers And Soda  By : David McCarthy

  • The Functions of the Gallbladder and the Gallbladder Disease  By : Groshan Fabiola
    The gallbladder is a small organ situated near mid-abdominal area of the body. Its main function is to store the bile that comes from the liver. Bile is a substance that helps in the digestion of fat. Fat does not dissolve in water, so in order to emulsify fat something special is needed. The liver produces the bile and then stores it in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fats. When this moment comes, the gallbladder starts to let the bile flow down into the intestine, inside the duodenum, where fat is digested with its help and then absorbed by the organism. While bile sits in the gallbladder, the water from it pours out through the gallbladder's walls, making the bile more concentrated and therefore more effective. Bile also neutralizes some of the acids that are found in certain types of food.
