" A Chinese\u00A0man has had an operation to remove more than 400\u00A0kidney stones after living off the\u00A0bean-based\u00A0vegetarian snack, tofu.  The man, named as Mr. He, had been eating\u00A0tofu everyday and not drinking much water when he visited a\u00A0doctor in eastern China with abdominal pains. According to People&amp;#039;s Daily Online, a CT scan showed that the 55-year-old&amp;#039;s kidney was CRAMMED full of stones. Ouch. In fact, there were so many stones in Mr. He&amp;#039;s kidney that he couldn&amp;#039;t pass water and, if he&amp;#039;d&amp;#039;ve waited to have surgery, he may have lost the kidney.\u00A0 On Friday, his\u00A0stunned\u00A0surgeon, Dr Wei, removed a RIDICULOUS 420 stones.\u00A0 He said:\u00A0  &amp;quot;I have never seen so many stones before. The operation took less than two hours of which 45 minutes was used to remove the stones. &amp;quot;At the end of the operation I realised my arms and legs were numb. The plate used to collect the stones had at least 420 of them of varying sizes and coloured green and yellow.  &amp;quot;These didn&amp;#039;t include the tiny rice sized stones that were taken out using specialist suction equipment and these numbered over 100.&amp;quot;  Dr. Wei also explained that bean-based\u00A0food products like Tofu can contain a lot of calcium, which can end up giving you kidney stones if you overindulge.\u00A0 His patient&amp;#039;s first dice with kidney stones was\u00A020 years ago, when medics used\u00A0shockwaves\u00A0to break down more than\u00A0ten stones.\u00A0 This time, it was only after\u00A0pain made physical activity almost unbearable that Mr. He sought medical advice. His family have vowed to stop him eating so much tofu in future. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
