Rationale: Bile acids or bile salts are produced by the liver to emulsify or break down fats. Blockage of the common bile duct impedes the flow of bile from the gallbladder to the duodenum, thus preventing breakdown of fatty intake. Knowledge of this should direct you to "whole milk." Dairy products, such as whole milk, ice cream, butter, and cheese, are high in cholesterol and fat and should be avoided.
