    eating beef liver every day can definitely put you at risk of developing Vitamin A toxicity, which can be fatal.

    Because the liver is responsible for filtering toxins, you should probably stick with grass fed/hormone free/organic liver.

    Here's one site that looked good for adverse food effects. I had always heard that gout was a side effect for eating large amounts of organ meat. Also, organ meat is high in chloresterol and several sites mentioned in trans fats. This site also mentioned organ meats being connected to cognitive problems in older adults which is new information for me (wondering how they linked it, but there are a lot of references at the bottom so maybe more research can be done if it interests you)

    About organic vs. non-organic...I don't know enough about it to say. Personally, the meat industry has scared me enough to go for local organic meats as much as possible. It cost a whole heck of a lot more, but I just eat less of it.

      Organ meats are very nutritious, however, as someone else pointed out, the liver is the filter for the blood, therefore, grassfed organic, or nothin'(or very rarely anyway, right?)...that is my two cents, for what it is worth...
