I hated it! I could never understand why people liked it and would CHOOSE to eat it. When I used to think of liver, I would think about my mother trying to force me to eat it. it’s not good for maintaining one’s sanity. We consider high fructose corn syrup a highly addictive, deadly poison, which we would never expose ourselves (or our children) to for any reason. And in answer to your question, we don’t drink kool-aid at all. More than 1,200 scientific references may help convince you of our remarkable sanity in taking this approach. If you’d like to see the research, you can pick up a copy of The Paleo Approach, by Dr. We, along with about a million other people who regularly visit this blog every year, are quite sane and have made the decision to feed ourselves, and in many cases our children, this way based on a solid understanding of nutrition and strong scientific research. Eating a food this rich in vitamins and minerals for your breakfast is like wearing a battery pack all day. Organ meats, specifically liver, are powerhouses of nutrition replete in Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, D, K, folate, pantothenic acid, choline, iron, selenium, zinc, and copper. We also both eat chicken liver, beef liver, lamb liver, pork liver, and many other kinds of organ meats, both for breakfast and other meals on a regular basis, because we know that recovering well from an autoimmune disease, particularly one like celiac, which is so damaging to the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, means stepping up our nutrient game in every possible way.

I can’t argue with how it makes me feel, however. If you haven’t handled beef liver before, be prepared – its texture is slippery and it leaves what appears to be a murder scene in your sink. Fortunately my husband was raised on liver, and offered to prepare and cook it for me. It took me a long time after reading about all of the benefits of liver to actually gather up enough courage to eat it. ![]() It has amounts of notoriously hard-to absorb nutrients that those of us with autoimmune disease are usually lacking in – B vitamins, iron, zinc, and vitamins A and D.
