Organ meat

How bad are organ meats? Why is it all the rage on YouTube in the carnivore/paleo/keto community? The vitamin A content is insane.
I have been eating them for a year now. I can positively say my symptoms have gotten worse.

Hi Guest,
The liver is the body’s primary detoxification organ. Therefore, depending on the animal, and the life conditions of the animal, the liver is probably chocked full of toxins. Think of the liver as the body’s trash can, and sophisticated toxin disposal processing organ. To a far lesser extent you can probably have a similar view of the kidneys. By eating these organs you are potentially taking on the accumulated toxic load that the source animal was originally trying to dispose of.
Would you eat someone else’s trash can? The risks just far outweigh any benefits, IMO. Also, doesn’t it seem odd that the body would store “vitamin A” in the trash can?

I always bought organic grass fed and finished organs but you are right. Even in healthy animals the liver will filter and store toxins. I like your observation about vitamin a being stored there because it is a toxin but there is also high amounts of vitamin b and vitamin c in there does that make them toxins too ?

I want to say that some have claimed that the "trash can and toxins" concept isn't accurate. This is one of the reasons I continued to eat liver every couple of weeks for years (sometimes inconsistent thank god). I believed the liver was helping me not see the dentist. (Rami Nigel, Weston A Price etc) Well, it worked, sorta. Whenever a particular molar I have gave me pain, I ate liver and it always made it go away. I havent been to a dentist in over 10 years. Perhaps I got lucky and the vitamin A helped dump minerals in that area(whilst hurting everything else of course). Whatever the case, the pain would cease and maybe the "hole" I could never visually see would scab over.
OR I never had a cavity to begin with and my pain was from something else. Surely the myofascial pain syndrome Ive been afflicted with has given me tmj and all sorts of weird pain problems from messed up muscles. Trigger points and their therapies (some is coo coo, some isnt) and treatment is also a greatly ignored discovery. Seriously, I believe it wholeheartedly. I'd love to discuss it with you someday Grant. I am Barbara Gene on facebook and I follow Dr Garrett Smith ofcourse! Detoxing a whole lifes worth of Vitamin A as we speak. I am 29.

Liver does not have high amounts of vit C, only about 20mg/100 g. There are way more in fruits and vegetables. Also considering liver being toxic I would not rely on it for my daily C.

That's all theory from experience, but when I get more A/carotenoids, acute pain is lessened, but I get this generalized uneasy feeling which is probably systemic inflammation. I think the body is ramping up natural pain killers (or what not, I don't really know) which can mask some type of pain.

Well, if anything is the body's trashcan, it's the colon. That part specifically stores toxins and wastes that are soon eliminated from the body. Calling the liver the body's trashcan is actually pretty insulting to this vital organ. Not only is it responsible for detoxification, it also produces important proteins, converts inactive thyroid hormone to the active form, and stores vital vitamins and nutrients so the body has an adequate reserve.
It's the body's chemist, not a trash can.

Liver is high in vitamin A, but kidney and heart are not, according to nutritiondataself. com. Would they be beneficial? If you get some ground in with beef, it tastes pretty good.
I've had duck hearts and they are delicious. My local Asian market does a brisk business selling roast ducks. They sell the livers for a fortune, but the hearts are dirt cheap.

That website is not reliable. Especially when they put 0 IU as the amount, in most cases that just means they haven't measured it. Almost every food has at least 1-3 IU with a few exceptions like white rice.
