I eat lambs' liver mostly!<br /><br />arnoud, if you are remotely normal then occasional liver is a perfectly reasonable approach to vitamin A. You can store it and use it as you need. Vitamin D is VERY complex and a simple 25(OH)D does not seem to give you all of the answers! Vieth has a new review article out I'm working through at the moment.<br /><br />Adolfo, I would view this differently. Liver contains lots of arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is a neutral raw material. If you wish to mix alcohol with fructose and corn oil you will activate NF-kappaB, generate lots of COX2 and make lots of pro inflammatory eicosanoids out of AA. Leave NF-kappaB alone and AA just remains a cell membrane component. It is possible to convert it to anti inflammatory eicosanoids during the later stages of healing. The "decision" is yours as to what you do with it. Better not to shoot the messenger.<br /><br />Gyan, I'm boringly normal, along with most of the rest of the world, so I have no issues with liver and eat it as a superfood. The beta carotene conversion I would dig deeply in to if I was vegan. There are reasonable amounts of A in eggs, so even for vegetarians I doubt there is much of an issue... <br /><br />Actually, going back to jean's post, maybe there is an issue. It's still not something I've followed, being a liver eater myself... <br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-59593024099026995292009-12-03T04:47:56.268+00:002009-12-03T04:47:56.268+00:00What is being meant by "effective" here

Beta carotene has been suggested for pregnant women since a 1987 study linked too much vitamin A with certain birth defects.<br /><br />"Worryingly, younger women are at particular risk," Lietz said in a statement. "The older generations tend to eat more eggs, milk and liver which are naturally rich in vitamin A, whereas the health-conscious youngsters on low-fat diets are relying heavily on the beta-carotene form of the nutrient."<br /><br />The study findings were published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal and were presented at the Hohenheim Nutrition Conference in Stuttgart, Germany.<br /><br />Eat your liver.jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374667859116161302noreply@blogger.com
