How much liver can a human eat per day/week/month?

Pork/Cow Liver is a cheap source of protein. It also tastes good if you can cook.

I would like to get a consensus on the amounts a human can eat over week/month?

Online I’m seeing so many varied numbers and standpoints (with no real strong data fwics).

So yeah, if you guys have any ideas or data on this backed by science i’d be interested to learn

My PCP tells me to avoid liver because it contains iron. Since I have a heart condition I don’t need the extra iron. Too much iron can cause heart problems along with liver problems and diabetes.

I’m leaning away from the stuff; I take cod liver oil capsules sometimes if I haven’t been eating much oily fish, but I’m not sure I should be doing more things to find out what gout is. And it is a lot of A vitamin.

But I get all that stuff already; I recommend a little to many types of diet.
