I have not ate liver sense been diagnosed with D . Any advice appreciated

Diabetes only affects your ability to metabolise carboydrates. There are minimal carbs in liver and onions so there shouldn't be any reason why you can't eat it.

The main thing to watch out for with liver is to overcook it and render it inedible 😉

There's no reason why you shouldn't eat liver. The web is awash with a load of b******s about ridiculous theories, particularly about vitamin k causing clots. This is arrant nonsense, because experiments where people have been given ten times the RDA of vitamin K have shown no tendency to clot. That is about a thousand times as much as you would take in in a plate of liver.

There are virtually no carbs in liver, and although onions are on of the vegetables that contain pure sucrose, the carbs in a serving are minimal.

You just carry on treating yourself to one of my favourite foods.🙂

Thanks guy's, it went down a treat ,you advise and time appreciated.

Had some yesterday for lunch. Went down a treat and as Mike has said virtually zero carbs. About 273 Cals/100g and 30g protein. A good food!

We are having a sausage, bacon & liver casserole tonight & I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.🙂

As child used to love liver casserole with dumplings on top. I am the only one in the house who eats liver so don't have it often.

We make lambs liver , onions and mash a weekly meal just like we ate in the 50s 60s 70s etc. Because it doesnt look cool its cheap as chips in the supermarkets.

Haven't had liver and onions for ages. You just reminded me. Will get some this week. 😛

Said to be a 'superfood'. Only people who should avoid it are those suffering with gout

There's no such thing as a superfood, that's a food faddists term. Liver is loaded with vitamins and iron, though. Being American, he extols the virtues of free range animals because so few are in the US. Here I only eat free range beef, pork and eggs. That's virtually the only sort there is now, anyway.

We'll all be eating barn eggs soon, in England at any rate, as all poultry flocks are being kept indoors because of the bird flu scare, once they've been in for three months, they can no longer be described as free range.

Because I'm not impressionable, 'superfood' to me is one packed with vitamins and iron' Mike.

Yes, Amigo, I know what you meant, it's just the term superfood I don't like, because it has been tainted by the nutritionist lobby. I'm sure that most of them wouldn't include liver because it isn't a nice new berry or vegetable. I agree wholeheartedly with your opinion, that it is healthy and nutritious food, but I won't call it a superfood because that classifies it with blueberries, which by comparison isnt, though touted as such.
