Would you like your serving of rotted shark before or after your serving of pickled testicles?

You know, people always laugh when they here of some people eating "Rocky Mountain Oysters" or Brains or something like that, but, I have an interesting take on this:

Way back in the day there was a line of logic that said, "Like heals Like". Meaning that eating Liver was good for your Liver, eating Heart was good for your Heart, etc.

I don't think I know anyone that says that nowadays. But, now, we are finding evidence that they were probably right.

The health benefits of liver are amazing. It has, basically, every vitamin and mineral that you can think of. And, when eaten raw (or medium rare) it is full of enzymes. And it is very good for your liver.

Ox-Heart (or, Lamb, or Chicken, or, well, whatever) is loaded with Coenzyme Q10. This is one of those new vitamins that is very expensive to buy at GNC. And the stuff you are buying is synthetic. The real stuff is cheap and delicious. And, so far, research is showing that it has no downside for you heart. That is, you can't even overdose on the stuff (like you can with some other vitamins).

I guarantee you that after this BSE/Mad-Cow stuff dies down, research will start appearing that Brains are good for your brain.
