>I really enjoy liver every once in awhile and wanted to try your

liver drink. My son, who is on breastmilk only right now, has a

kidney problem called hydronephrosis. Should I stay away from liver

since it is so high in iron? Have you heard anything similar about

iron and kidneys?

Hi Suzanne. That may depend upon the " kind of iron. " There are 2

kinds, " heme " and " non-heme " iron. Non-heme iron is from plant

sources and can cause problems, and " heme " iron is from animal

sources like red meat liver.

Unless you have been tested and " know " you are anemic it isn't

necessary to take extra iron, but eating red meat liver once a week

is good.
