The medical folks advise avoiding liver if you're pregnant due to the large Vitamin A content, but otherwise liver is perfectly fine and also contains a lot of iron. You could never convince my kids of that though. :)

I eat beef and chicken livers all the time. But you have to be careful about the iron. Males don't need extra iron as females do.

Yup, watch the iron intake, unless you're anemic.

I never liked the taste, but the health benefits (minus the cholesterol) are great: heme iron, vitamin Bs, etc. If you want to avoid the "yucks" but still want the good stuff, try out Liver Tablets.

I have issues with eating organ meats especially when it's the organ that works as a filter...I'll pass.

The dessication process of dessicated liver removes all the toxins and poisons. Leaves only the goodness that Micheal spoke of and tons more like CO Q10, a storehouse of B vitamins, Paba, etc. Liver extract has actually been used in clinical settings to treat a number of physical ailments like anemia and support liver function, even drug detoxification.
