The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
if you're eating one or two ounces of liver per day you would have to multiply that by 100 to get the amount found in equivalent amount of polar bear liver you'd have to eat a hundred ounces of liver per day which is an insane amount to get the amount of vitamin a found in one ounce of cow's liver and that just gives you a sense of the scale it's two orders of magnitude difference
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

when they actually look at the amount of vitamin a in polar bear liver it's 100 times higher than the amount of vitamin a in cow's liver so any dose of cow's liver that you're eating imagine multiplying that by 100 and then realize that it takes about 365 grams of polar bear liver to induce acute toxicity in these arctic explorers a little less than a pound
what we know is that carnivores do accumulate more vitamin a in their liver so things like seals or polar bears have much more vitamin a in their liver a hundred thousand times more uh i could be off on that number but i think that's right then a cow it's gonna be very hard to get vitamin e toxicity from a cow
