Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 It really does not have that much taste. If you get over the idea of what it looks like, you can make a sandwich with it and anything thrown in for spice that you like, maybe onions, peppers or whatever. If you freeze to point of just forming ice crystals, it will slice very thin and go right on a sandwich. In this semi frozen state, it has even less taste and is a lot less " slippery and gooey " and does not lend itself nearly as well to your imagination. It is really the idea and not the actual taste that gets to you. Blind folded and fed, you might even like it!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Somehow I must have missed the beginning of this thread ... which hopefully explained WHY one would eat so much raw liver. I have always been rather put off by organ meats. Also, given they filter nasty stuff wouldn't that imply they hold some nasty stuff in them? So why would I want to comsume another animal's nasty stuff? What animal's liver are we talking about here? Cow, chicken, lamb, goat??? *trying to stop making faces and keep an open mind* Jaxi (who has always hated liver) > It really does not have that much taste.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 The liver is not a filter. It is a chemistry lab. Animals in the wild that kill eat the organs first and then get around to the muscle but they prefer the organs. Google liver and you will find " filter " so far down on the list that it may not show up at all. There is a good reason the liver is the size it is. This a an extremely complex organ and may only be slightly less intelligent than the brain. A lot of people you would swear have no brain but you would bet the farm that they have a liver!

I got this answer from answers.com = It's not really a " filter " so much as a chemical treatment plant: it gets rid of toxins by converting them into other (hopefully less toxic, but not always) compounds. Smitty p.s.. I had stopped eating liver because I thought like Jaxi, that it was filtering *nasty stuff* . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 > > The liver is not a filter. Yes it is! It's certainly not the only thing it does, but the liver most definitely does filter and detoxify the blood. However it's not the kind of filter most of us think of when we imagine a filter, such as an oil filter, air filter or charcoal water filter, which trap wastes and undesirable elements inside themselves and keep them there. Rather the liver is designed to either neutralize or redirect wastes, pathogens and toxins so they're either removed from circulation and/or preferably eliminated from the body. Everything you eat and drink is filtered by the alimentary canal through the gut wall, and most everything that passes through that is absorbed into the blood, which then flows directly to the liver to be filtered and processed. The liver also filters certain nutrients from the blood, redirecting some and storing others. Because it's such an amazing storage facility, this is part of what makes it such a nutrient dense food. >It is a chemistry lab.

And what we know about how it works and the myriad roles it plays is much likely far, far less than what we have yet to learn and understand. IMO this is true for the entire human body.

It also puts some wastes/toxins in with the bile it produces so that when bile is released into the intestines to help with digestion, some of the wastes contained in the bile will be eliminated with the stool. However some bile salts are reabsorbed by the intestines and aren't eliminated, which can set up a kind of auto-toxicity feedback loop, particularly if people are already suffering from some sort of chronic ailment. The problem facing many people these days is the our livers (and entire bodies for that matter) were never designed to cope with the level of environmental contamination with which we are being faced these days. Nor were our bodies ever meant to deal with the kind of highly processed, industrially manufactured, nutrient depleted food products, GMO foods or pharmaceutical drugs many people consume these days on a regular basis. Our bodies are also assaulted by countless other toxic synthetic chemicals externally which many people put on and in their bodies in the form of manufactured personal products. The liver was never meant to have to detoxify the body from this massive chemical soup to which we are all being exposed in this day and age, an over time all this can put an increasingly unnatural burden on the liver, causing it to become stressed and rendering it progressively less and less able to do the job it was originally designed to do. Eating nutrient dense foods, avoiding processed, manufactured packaged 'fake' foods, and being proactive about detoxing one's bathroom, kitchen, house, life, mind, heart and body are all positive steps we can take to support our livers and improve our health.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Don't care... I was referencing beef liver, but I'd use any other that you mentioned. Maybe not very long on fish or walrus because of high vitamin A, but c'mon... Chuck Photons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic. > cow, pig, chicken, lamb, fish???? > > whose liver are we talking about here??? > > Jaxi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
