Because it contains huge amounts of Vitamin A. One gram of polar bear liver contains 12 times the daily required amount of Vitamin A (1 mg).
And what happens if you overdose on Vitamin A? Here is a not-too-pleasant list: skin problems (itching, peeling off), drowsiness and sleepiness, splitting headaches, spleen and liver enlargement, painful swelling of tissues next to the bones, loss of appetite.
Vitamin A overdose during the first three months of pregnancy can cause congenital abnormalities.
2) “Why did Linus Pauling took 40,000 mg of Vitamin C a day?”
Linus Pauling, the only scientist who won 2 Nobel prizes in history (Chemistry 1954 and Peace in 1962), was a big-time believer in Vitamin C.
Pauling himself took massive amounts of it daily to prevent common cold. He started taking 12,000 mg a day and took it all the way up to 40,000 mg. He claimed he delayed the onset of his prostate cancer by twenty years by taking such unheard of quantities of Vitamin C before he died at 93.
The modern medical research could not prove that Vitamin C protects against common cold or cancer.
However, Vitamin C is of course essential for healthy gums, fighting gingivitis, healthy vision, among its many other benefits. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy.
3) “What does Vitamin Choline do?”
Perhaps you’ve never heard of Vitamin Choline, which is a member of the Vitamin B family. It’s other name is “Amanitine” and is found in Lecithin.
Some doctors recommend Choline for alcoholics or diabetics. It is used to fight Alzheimer’s disease, angina, atherosclerosis, fatty liver, senility, high blood pressure, thrombosis, and strokes.
Choline is found in bananas, green leafy vegetables, legumes, beef, nuts, wheat germ, shellfish, whole grain cereals. The literature does not cite any serious side effects.
