``Kidney Stones: Diet Is Important for Prevention''

  The factors involved in the formation of kidney stones vary. One dietary
  factor is an excess of refined sugars and carbohydrates. This causes the
  pancreas to secrete more insulin, which in turn causes more calcium to
  be excreted in the urine. When an increase in the concentration of one
  of the stone forming minerals is present, the likelihood of stone
  formation increases.''
