Actual letter form a real Liver-hater:

“I tried putting a bit of chopped up liver in with my ground beef bolognaise but I could still taste the creamy liver taste that makes me feel physically nauseous. I REALLY want to eat liver for all the nutrients and vitamin A but I physically can't do it…”

I can relate to the author of this anonymous letter recently posted on a paleo website. I hate the stuff too! Nor are we alone. Although the Epicurean among us may delight in Liver’s velvety texture and creamy taste, kitchendaily.com found that its America’s most hated food. Even the slippery, slimy look of Liver can be enough to activate the gag reflex.

So what exactly is it that accounts for widespread repulsion? Well, the Liver organ is an extreme organ, in fact it's the largest organ in the body. Among the hardest working in the body, its cells perform many of 100’s of biochemical roles like ridding the body of drugs and poisons. It purifies foods we eat, it creates and stores proteins, fats and sugars. It’s also a vitamin and mineral warehouse and is also a major center for hormone production (i.e. Estrogen, Testosterone, Cortisol and many other steroids are processed in Liver). In short, it's the body’s poison control center. What a biological powerhouse!
