i agree, Steve. Also, listen to your body. Beef liver which is not necessarily good for you - I fried a pound of it up one day, and couldn't stop myself from stuffing my face - not because I was hungry, but because my body seemed desperate for something there.
Me either, GG. That's why it was so surprising. I really believe that my body wanted somthing that was there, so who am I to argue with that. I think cravings should be paid attention when they happen. Your body is boss about these things. Maybe not correctly, but definitely imperative.

So, like you, I don't worry too much about these things and just try to eat whole foods most often, with a few indulgences.
...It seems everyday, they find something new to scare us with. Then in no time, they say its not true. This is why I put such little faith into these things...
I'd be interested to know how much liver a day is bad for you as per the original research results.Me either, GG. That's why it was so surprising.
