Lemonade may prevent kidney stones

[Dark Knight]

WEDNESDAY, May 24 (HealthDay News) -- Drinking lemonade could help prevent painful kidney stones, new research shows.

So conclude two studies presented Tuesday at the American Urological Association annual meeting in Atlanta.

Thanks DK

Since I pass around three a year, I am going to start drinking lemonade. Or when I get one, I could just have DP come with painkillers and some whiskey! LOL

Thanks DK, I'm off to the store to get my lemonade.
