But now I'm following my own style of natural nutrition - based on nuts and fresh plants. I found there the best composition of micro and macronitrients. And i like its taste, availability and simplicity in the kitchen. > Cooked, >would they supply the nutrients desired? Liver will keep it's favourable vitamin A content (it's resistant to heat). Some other important vitamins will disappear though - especially the folic acid and vitamin b1. Vitamin-c will be reduced. Good to eat it raw..... The polyunsaturated fats (w-3 or not) are also a little sensible to heat. That's the reason why better not to fry with sunflower oil. If cooking marrow or brain i'd suggest not to choose the biggest heat. > I have a great cookbook by Adelle >Davis who held organ meats in high esteem. Organs are in many aspects better that muscles.

Maybe she is not much known in Europe. Forunately my children look strong,big and healthy :-) regards Amadeus --- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
