吃肝脏很流行有两个原因：1）许多人喜欢肝脏的味道；2）长期以来一直有种说法是吃啥补啥，因此有种说法说吃肝脏有益于健康，可以增强肝脏以及补血。不仅东方人有吃肝脏的习惯（例如猪肝粥），现在越来越流行的西餐也将鹅肝和肉酱（许多是肝脏和肉混合制成的）等带入了国内。
实际上，吃肝补肝完全是与健康背道而驰的。如果我们真正了解肝脏的功能，我们很容易就会知道为什么这并不利于健康。
首先，现在几乎不可能在地球上找到真正干净且健康的肝脏，无论是人类还是动物的肝脏。就算假设我们确实从非常纯净的原始环境中找到一个生物有美丽且健康的肝脏，这个肝脏仍然会充满来自动物本身的毒素，因为正常的身体机能就会产生肝脏必须处理和储存的毒素。虽然人们很容易认为在原生态环境中生活的野生动物会有最干净的肝脏，但事实并非如此，因为野生动物经常处于战斗或逃跑模式，这意味着它们不断在释放恐惧和紧张情绪的肾上腺素，和人类的肝脏一样，动物的肝脏也必须扮演海绵的角色，吸收所有过量的压力激素（而压力激素对身体是类似于硫酸一般有腐蚀性的，这也是为什么肝脏需要吸收以保护其他器官不受到伤害）。
正如在之前的拯救肝脏系列中所说道的，肝脏不仅仅是体内的毒素处理中心，这个神奇且强大的腺体器官也是体内的营养中心，负责储存和处理重要的酶、微量元素、氨基酸、抗氧化物和其他植物化学物质。你也许会问，那吃下肝脏的时候是不是也会同时摄入对人体有益的营养元素？我们可以把肝脏珍贵的营养元素想象成大量宝贵的金币、祖母绿、钻石和埋藏在地下深处的其他珍贵宝藏。但是在所有这些宝藏之上有放射性核废料，虽然我们有工具可以挖到这些宝藏，但即使获得了这些宝石和珠宝，我们也无法享受很长的时间，这会让我们的生命变得短暂，因为它们同时带有毒药。这就是吃肝脏的现实，类似于你吃下了混合了毒素的补品。
另外一个吃肝并不补肝的原因是，动物肝脏中含有的营养元素并不与人体相兼容。要知道储存在动物肝脏中的元素与人类肝脏的工作方式不符。不同类型的动物肝脏会生成并储存其特定的动物酶和动物化学化合物，每一种都是根据其本身量身定制的，因此动物肝脏内的营养物质无法被人体重新识别、标记、改造和使用。唯一的例外是脂肪，如果动物肝脏内有脂肪，人体可以再次使用。但问题在于通常毒素是储存于脂肪中的，因此脂肪一般包含了大量毒素。如果我们幸运的话，也许我们可以从动物肝脏中获得一些抗氧化物，但它们的量远远不足以抵消吃下肝脏而摄入的毒素的量。最终，肝脏必须处理并储存进入我们体内的这些毒素，以及无法使用的动物特定化学物，这些都会导致肝脏负荷过重。
要知道，吃啥补啥这种观点已有很长的历史，但从未治愈任何人。如果你了解野生动物的运作模式，就会从中得到启示。当野生动物摄入其捕获的猎物时，它们会避免吃下肝脏，肝脏通常是极度饥饿的动物才会吃下的食物，那些被迫吃下肝脏的动物会在来年的春天吃下更多的野生植物的芽和根，以净化自己的肝脏。这是动物的一种与生俱来的本能，我们应该从中得到启发。
Health Trap (IV)- Eating liver
The practice of eating liver is alive and well for two reasons: 1)many people truly love the taste of liver; 2)there’s a longstanding belief that eating liver is good for you,particularly beneficial for healing and strengthening the liver itself and for building the blood. People add turkey liver to stuffing,fry up cow and chicken livers for the family,and consider goose and duck livers delicacies,sometimes using them to make the popular dish foie gras.
That eating liver is good for your health is far from true. When we think about it in light of what your own liver does for your own body – what it does and what it’s for – we can easily see that this is a sad,misled misconception.
First of all,it’s rare to almost impossible to find a truly clean,healthy liver on planet earth,whether human or animal. If we did find a beautifully healthy liver from a creature raised in a pure pristine environment,it would still be filled with toxins collected from that animal’s own body. Normal bodily functions create toxins that the liver must process and store. While it’s easy to think that a bear or a deer raised in a remote forest on wild game,grasses,or other plants would have the cleanest liver possible,that’s not he case. Wild animals are constantly in fight-or-flight mode,which means they constantly release fear-based adrenaline. Just like us,their livers must act as sponges to absorb all that excess stress hormone.
The liver isn’tonly a sponge for the toxic, though. What could seem like a great healing benefit of eating liver is how incredible the liver is altogether. This amazing,powerful glandular organ holds and processes important enzymes,trace minerals,amino acids,antioxidants,and other phytochemicals – so it does make incredible logical sense to say that consuming liver could help you out. You probably could benefit in some way,surprisingly or not. Yet this shouldn’t automatic lead to the belief that people need liver,because there’s another side to it. The precious nutrients that the liver holds are like a massive hoard of rare gold coins,emeralds,diamonds and other priceless treasures buried deep within the earth. You have the tools to dig them up. only something lies
on top: radioactive nuclear waste. Chances are you’ll get to the treasure trove just fine,though you’ll live a very short life with those gems and jewels in your hands – you won’t get to enjoy your invaluable finds because they came with poison. That’s the reality of what the liver contains: both treasure and troublemakers. It’s like being given a tonic that has the power to make you live forever mixed with poisons that takes it away.
Also what’s contained in an animal liver is not going to be compatible with the human body. The goodies stored in an animal liver will not match up with how our liver work. Animal livers produce and store animal enzymes and animal chemical compounds signature to their individual species’identities. Each>’t be re-identified,tagged,reshaped,and used by our own human bodies. The exception is fat,if there’s fat inside an animal liver,we can use that. Trouble is that fat probably harbors plenty of poisons,because fat cells in the liver store toxins. Out of everything else in that animal liver,it’s possible our liver can use some trace mineral or maybe if we ‘re lucky,a few antioxidants. But they are not enough to balance the toxic load. Ultimately your liver must process and store those poisons,as well as the unusable,animal specific chemical compounds,and that contributes to your organ’s overload.
For your own protection,take your cue from predators in the wild. When they eat an animal they’ve caught,they’ll avoid eating the liver. It’s the last ditch organ that animals go for,usually left for scavengers and creatures pushed to starvation. Those animals forced to eat liver will end up eating more wild shoots and roots in the spring to cleanse their own livers of what intoxicated them. There’s an instinctive,innate reason for these animal behaviors. We would do well to heed that instinct too.
