My point about eating liver is that the high levels of vitamin A

(retinol) can raise your vitamin A levels to a toxic level.

That could be...but I've always viewed liver as a " cow filter. " Who wants to

eat all the nasties that are filtered out of the cow? Sorta like an oil

filter....the liver of the car. It's odd, but I did view liver as food when I

was

a kid...I'd even order it out! But now, it just grosses me out. Can't stand

the taste or the smell, and knowing the function of the liver doesn't help.

If it is high in the kind of A that builds up, then I sure don't want to get

involved with it. I have to fight to keep my A levels down as it is.

Ray, I don't know for sure, but I have to believe that you'd have to

eat a ton of liver for your Vit A to reach toxic levels.

Yep, give me chocolate or give me death. Actually I prefer milk

chocolate and white chocolate but I've always been about nutty.

I thought the weather was bad here in Texas. I think our heat

index has been 105 in the shade. Of course our humidity hasn't been

below 60 in like forever.
