Do you eat liver?

I have been reading on the benefits of certain foods and liver keeps coming up as a great food for what ails me. I was wondering if any of you eat liver and if so, what is your experience with it?

An article that I found talks about an experiment with three groups of lab rats. The first ate a basic diet, fortified with 11 vitamins. The second ate the same diet, along with an additional supply of vitamin B complex. The third ate the original diet, but instead of vitamin B complex received 10 percent of rations as powdered liver.

After several weeks, the animals were placed one by one into a drum of cold water from which they could not climb out. They literally were forced to sink or swim. Rats in the first group swam for an average 13.3 minutes before giving up. The second group, which had the added fortifications of B vitamins, swam for an average of 13.4 minutes. Of the last group of rats, the ones receiving liver, three swam for 63, 83 and 87 minutes. The other nine rats in this group were still swimming vigorously at the end of two hours when the test was terminated. Something in the liver had prevented them from becoming exhausted. To this day scientists have not been able to pin a label on this anti-fatigue factor.

I suffer a lot from chronic fatigue and have been looking at supporting my adrenals to see if the fatigue diminishes. The above test makes me want to try liver and see if it helps.

Your thoughts?

Oh ugh! I wouldn't care if I could swim all day or not!! I don't eat 'innerds' ever since I found out what their functions are! LOL!

More power to any who can though!!!

Very interesting find though!

I'd suggest you cook it with garlic and onion and some herbs. Marinating it in wine would help too. I've read that liver from young animals is better, but I don't recall the reason.

I personally don't like it, other than some pate' that someone gave me one time. She mixed it with garbanzo beans to dilute the taste of it. Let us know what you think of it after you try it.

I have this natural aversion towards 'innerds' like Trav calls them
I remember I ate very small amounts of liver coming from our grass fed sheep at home - baked with onions is how we made it at home, with potatoes and appelsaus. goes well with strong mustard too.

I forgot to mention this:
I was on a drug before they discovered the Lyme & co, called Nexavir. Anti-viral and anti-inflammatory, made of pig liver.
Way too expensive to continue it, but your post made me think of that very powerful liver extract.

True! But eating innerds is a bit too far from the box for me. Giggle! Maybe if I had to, I could do it in pill form - but still, EW!!
