Thanks for the info., Alice and Annie.

I agree that eating liver too often could be unhealthy because of the toxins, both from the usual accumulation of 'standard' toxins that living things are exposed to, but also from the 'extra' things that animals are exposed to like pesticides and stuff...

Sometimes I wonder if halal meat is exposed to the same types of antibiotics and pesticides that non-halal meat is. I gotta look into that. My BF is muslim, and he only eats Halal.

Thanks for the info. re. the b12, Annie. I was surprised when I came across that info. as well because I thought that the only way to treat pernicious anemia was through shots, or the liquid form. I think that liver can be great in times of illness, but only in small 'doses' because of the toxins thing. Actually, I had told me neuro. about the liver and he warned me that I might get jaundice if I eat it too much. I'm glad that didn't happen!

It's funny that you mention the build-up of iron thing. We just found out that on my dad's side, they are carriers of the hemochromatosis gene (heterozogytes sp.?). There are seriously waaaay too many weird diseases going on in our family!
