Note that chicken skin contains a lot of fat, so it's best to remove it before cooking or skim off the foam from the surface after cooking. Additionally, animal liver in general, and pork liver in particular, while rich in iron which helps produce red blood cells, also contains a significant amount of cholesterol. Therefore, people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or coronary artery disease should limit their consumption. Those with a history of chronic diseases should consult a doctor before choosing any of the above remedies.
