If someone feels that liver is good in a diet then the fresh form should be preffered, the way nature intented. The studies of this link contain some truth but no evidence at all that the dessicated form should be better. Actually liver is good as a meat source within a variety of meats, unless there are specific medical reasons, so not optimal health subjects. I did this conversation a year plus ago in game dog with a stubborn head guy there named saiyagin. If anyone is interested the subject title is " Dessicated Liver". Don't want to add anything more here without someone asking specific questions.
