is eating liver healthy?

The liver is suppose to have iron and other things

that are helpful to the body....however, it is

very high in cholesterol. That is the reason for

cooking onions with the liver, as the onions help to lower that amount.

I would say the chicken or beef liver is better

than the pork...that is my own choice....cannot

say which is healthier.

Some people take the liver right away and cook

it with any blood that is in it. I rinse the liver

with running water till the water is about clear

and then place it in milk and coat it with

flour and fry it. When about half way done,

I add the onions and cook them some and

then add a little water to the pan and cover it.

It will make a gravy of its own. Don't over

cook the liver....cook just till done...otherwise

it can end up like shoe leather.

It dont filter anything, thats what the kidneys do. Liver detoxifies substances like drugs via p450 and other enzymes.

liver is the organ that filters poisons out of the body. would you eat a cigarette filter?
