As delicious as it is, you really shouldn't have liver regularly because it has very high amounts of Vitamin A, which is toxic. Liver from certain animals, like Polar Bears, has enough Vitamin A to kill you in a single meal.

Carnivorous livers such as polar bears' have dangerous levels. Omnivore/herbivore livers aren't very dangerous at all, you'd have to eat many many kilograms in a single setting to approach acute toxicity. Or eat like a pound a week for perhaps months to years.
