Well mashed: Serving size for his age is one tablespoon or 15 ml.  Make sure the livers are well mashed.

Question 2

hey there. i think i ate maggots :( i microwaved a piece of chicken and after i ate it i realized that it had tiny tiny maggots on it. dead from the microwave i assume. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No: Microwave would have killed the maggots and these would be treated by your stomach like any other animal protein.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 3

is chicken liver fattening? and is it healthy?

Accepted Answer

Chicken liver: Chicken liver is so small that it is unlikely to be fattening. Yes it is healthy but it would be wise to stop taking it for while and see what develops.

Question 4

can someone eat too much chicken hearts, livers, or gizzards?

Accepted Answer

Yes.yes.yes.: Eating too much of anything can cause long term problems, although I do not see any acute problems in the short term.  Of course, this is all a matter of degree....Everything in moderation.

Question 5

i have chicken livers that says on package sell by feb 14. 2014 they been in the freezer frozen this whole time. will it be safe to eat it or no?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: even though it has been frozen the expiration date is 8 months past

Question 6

is it ok to eat chicken liver while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin A: Excess vitamin A is the reason people/books might tell you to avoid liver while pregnant. A small amount every now and then should be safe though - as with any organ meat, make sure it's cooked well.

Question 7

is microwave ablation beneficial for liver met if chemo has failed? there is also mets to few other sites.

Accepted Answer

It is effective: When there is a solitary lesion that is difficult to resect, jpossibly associated with portal hypertension, microwave ablation can be used to treat up to 5 discrete lesions, but each no larger than 3-5 cm.  When not applicable, chemo embolization injecting chemo into the feeding hepatic arteries and closing vessels off is also another way along with radioactive microspheres.

Question 8

my baby have hb e beta thall and her age is 5 months 10 days. is eggs yellow part and liver of chicken harmful for her bcoz of iron? pls advice..

Accepted Answer

Thalassemia: You have to introduce foods slowly to babies. You should check with your pediatrician. I think you can gradually introduce all foods as tolerated. If iron deficient has to be treated.

Question 9

is chicken liver bad for gerd? (i'm currently on omeprazole 40mg/day?

Accepted Answer

:  What is bad for GERD is large meals, laying down after a meal, eating late in the evening, coffee, chocolate, mints, and high fat content food.  Chicken liver in about 4 ounces has about 8 grams of fat and so not overly high. A slice of pizza has about 10 grams of fat if it is just cheese and more if there is meat too. So you can see how a couple pieces of pizza can be high in fat as comparison.

Question 10

i have fatty liver and weight is 176 lbs can i take chicken  once in week.all liver function tests are normal and hbsag is negative.hcv is non reactiv

Accepted Answer

Fatty liver disease: Fatty liver disease is caused by excessive fat accumulation in the the liver.  Fatty liver can lead to complications including hardening of the liver called cirrhosis. If your bmi is too high, then losing weight will help mitigate your long term associated health risks. Chicken contains unhealthy saturated fats, but eating it once per week sounds reasonable to me. Good luck!
