And yet oddly vitamin A has multiple health benefits including placental health...But it alerted me to bad advice eg this is from the NHS:
If you're pregnant
Having large amounts of vitamin A can harm your unborn baby. So if you're pregnant or thinking about having a baby, do not eat liver or liver products, such as pâté, because these are very high in vitamin A.
Also avoid taking supplements that contain vitamin A. Speak to your GP or midwife if you would like more information.
Yet Weston Price has a Diet for Pregnant Women that recommends cod liver oil supplements with high doses of Vitamin A and eating liver once or twice a week.

Akin to the old "liver argument"?Ah, the old "potato" arguement..

And what is "too much" ?And yet oddly, the advice from the NHS was because too much Vitamin A can cause birth defects…
Do not take cod liver oil or any supplements containing vitamin A (retinol) when you're pregnant. Too much vitamin A could harm your baby.

What to avoid
- raw or undercooked meat
- liver and liver products
- all types of pâté, including vegetarian pâté
- game meats such as goose, partridge or pheasant
Why
Liver and liver products have lots of vitamin A in them. This can be harmful to an unborn baby.

.
And what is "too much" ?
It certainly isn't "any" and who these days eats lots of liver apart from my dog and cat?
Like many things vit A is necessary for placental health allegedly and dangerous if eaten in excess.
The dose is the poison?
So if they were deficient it would be a great source..Yes, and that’s why is recommended that liver is avoided because it’s very high in Vitamin A - and the more dangerous form of Vitamin A at that. Recommending pregnant women eat it and take cod liver oil is reckless. Both should be avoided in pregnancy.
So if they were deficient it would be a great source..
But this conversation was about my "horrible" cholesterol levels (which I think are fine and my CVD markers are perfect so)...
I note that your ad hominens aside you guys haven't produced much evidence for your claims..odd that..
No.. you have seen a tiny proportion of the suggested evidence.. I haven't claimed "proof" because in the field of human nutrition there really isn't any.We've seen your proof.
Ah "the science" a dead giveaway..
