Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Having lived in the South(US) and worked with urologists, the docs jokingly referred to the NW FL/Southern AL area as the " Stone Belt. " Referring to kidney stones and the high occurrence there. The doctors told me, their RN, that it was due to genetics; but also to controllable factors such as laying off the sweet tea, cokes, coffee and drinking at least 8-12 8oz glasses of water everyday. Caffeinated beverages actually dehydrate us! Vikki in Hawaii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
