Gallstones

Conclusion

The majority of the studies points to a beneficial effect of coffee in gallbladder disease. There is some evidence that coffee exerts its effect via caffeine, which stimulates gallbladder contractions. However further studies are needed to elucidate the exact effects of coffee on gallbladder function.

Very few relevant, and significant, human epidemiological studies on the role of coffee in gallbladder disease have been published since 2002.
