Eating Liver Without Supplementing Vitamin D

[Fermenter Zym]

Is it safe to eat lots of liver without supplementing with cod liver oil for Vitamin D? It seems that Liver has a lot of Vitamin A, but it doesn't seem to have Vitamin D.

If you didn't also eat CLO, wouldn't your Vitamin A and Vitamin D ratio get thrown off?

i would avoid eating lots of anything at once or every day.  i would stick to variety and moderation and not worry about specific vitamins or other nutrients.

I guess you would not be able to eat "lots of" raw liver unprepared. You will get a stop-signal soon and it will taste not so good thereafter. Always eat liver raw and unseasoned, your bod will tell when enough.
Eat fresh saltwaterfish - not codliver oil, I would suggest.

I do would supplement with vit D3 if no or little access to sun.

Interestingly enough I found that eating raw liver no longer made me feel euphoric yesterday (as it normally does). I've probably had enough for right now. I think I definitely need variety.

Are eating whole raw eggs a good idea?

If you have a good source (organic or pastured) whole eggs are great! Eat the eggshell too if you like!
I use to make this party-joke sometimes eating the whole egg with shell and all only with my hands and teeth before friends, they think it is fun. It really is very possible, the shell is not so hard at all!

I usually eat more yolks as whites though, as I like the taste better. I do like the withes too mostly!

I avoid egg whites.  I think they cause problems with my health.  My cat would never eat them, only the yolks. The dog ate both, though.
