    I have been eating deer liver before they had the warning. Wouldn’t this also make cow liver unsafe, especially free range grass feed.
    Gun control:Criminals who ignore laws against rape, torture, kidnapping, theft, and murder, will obey a law that prohibits them from owning a firearm while disarming decent people from having access to firearms to deter criminals.

    Exactly... I think that a (better) study & actual comparison numbers is needed. Btw, farmed salmon has tested worse than the "wild" one.

    I personally only buy wild salmon or shrimp. Those "sustainable" fish are fed pellets or who knows what in cages. Be green and eat that mystery meat if you want, I will pay a little higher price for the free range food.

    The logic behind deer/moose liver being unsafe as compared to beef is that deer/moose eat a lot of brush which (in theory) collects more cadmium that grass does, since brush - from growth to consumption has a longer lifespan that grass does.

    Cadmium accumulates in the liver and is considered to be carcinogenic, so there really is no "safe" level.

    BTW - smokers have about 7 times the cadmium in their bodies that non-smokers do - so if you smoke, eating deer liver is relatively harmless.
