I was doing a similar thing just the other day.  I was hoping to
find out why it is that bone marrow is rumored to be so dangerous
to eat.  For example, here are some lyrics from an old folk song
(Irish maybe?):

She bought seven dozen old marrow bones
And made him eat them all.
Says he, "Old woman, I am so blind
I can't see you at all."

It's one of those things that lots of people say they "know" is bad
for you, but I have yet to hear exactly why.  Anybody heard
specifics?
