Dirk ----- Hi Dirk I have read many times that Bee recommends Liver, 2 to 3 times a week. I have not yet considered it, as I have never eaten it before. It is something I want to try soon though.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 There's something that I don't understand about liver. If it's the part of the body that filters toxins, wouldn't it have toxins? Especially if it's from an animal who's liver might not be fully functioning - maybe the thinking is the liver processes these things but none stay? It's difficult for me to understand that none would remain behind. elyse On 18-Jun-06, at 8:36 AM, Nairn wrote: > Dirk Coetsee wrote: > I was wondering, what is the general opinion of this group on meats > with > carbs, e.g. Liver, muscles... > I always wondered if they feed Candida too.

Raw liver contains a lot of beneficial stuff. I'm not confident about this, but since the liver is where many substances our body produces such as glutathione, it might be a concetrated source of these liver-protective substances. Must be raw! About the carbs in liver, I believe it is probably all glycogen. These are chains of glucose, probably easier than starch to digest. I suspect it is very quickly digested and assimilated and thus, not a food for bad bacterias. The " liver, raw " on fitday only has about 25 grams of carbs per pound.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Liver is a powerhouse of nutrients. Dr. Kelley, in his " One answer for Cancer " eliminated ALL meat in his cancer cure protocol, but still insisted on a tablespoon of raw liver every so often for its amazing health benefits. Personally, I just can't eat the stuff raw even if it is more healthy that way. Organ meats have always been prized by cultures around the world for their nutritive and health-giving properties. It is true that the liver is the body's filter. For this reason, eating the liver of game etc. raw is a questionable practice. But nobody ever got sick from eating nice free-range chicken livers. Plus, they're delicious! (if prepared right) and I find them much easier to digest than muscle meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of liver being healthy when it's the body's trash can. It doesn't seem to me that the health benefits could outweigh the nasties that end up in an animal's liver. MAYBE organic liver might not be so bad as far as the toxins go, but I'd NEVER touch the " regular " stuff that you can buy in the store. in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Dirk, it seems strange to see the words delicious and liver in the same sentence. I've tried liver a number of times over the years. I kept thinking that in the past I couldn't stand it because I couldn't get my mind around it. So, years later I tried it again thinking I wouldn't have that problem this time. I was never able to do it. I've ordered it at restaurants, couldn't keep it down, sent it back and ordered something else. It has a strange aftertaste that I can't get past. Hopefully I can get well without having do to do liver. elyse On 19-Jun-06, at 9:51 AM, Dirk Coetsee wrote: > nobody ever got sick from eating nice free-range > chicken livers.

I can't even stand the smell of liver but liverwurst doesn't smell or taste the same at all to me. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hmmm...liverwurst is actually pork liver pate with some other stuff (other meat by-products) thrown in, Maybe the pork liver just tastes better to you. Actually I'm just the opposite...don't particularly like liverwurst but I love chicken and beef (especially calf) livers.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 That's intersting, I never knew that. I've always been a HUGE fan of processed pork products. Hot dogs were my favorite food and I also love salami, bologna, pepperoni, bacon, etc. It pisses me off that it's almost impossible to find pork products that are not cured or over-salted. Nowadays I do pork loin and that's about it.
