Default Rapid Weight Loss Causes Gall Stones??????

A google search brought this up--- NEVER encountered this subject until now.

Quote:
As the body metabolizes fat during rapid weight loss, it causes the liver to secrete extra cholesterol into bile, which can cause gallstones. Fasting. Fasting decreases gallbladder movement, which causes the bile to become overconcentrated with cholesterol. Gallstones | Johns Hopkins Medicine Health Library https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/hea...tones_85,p00841


Unfortunately the time of "fasting" has not been defined here. What are the risks for a 24 hour 23/1 fast, or a 36??

This is not in DANDR, probably because fasting was not discussed beyond Fat Fasts----

Is Johns Hopkins information correct?????
