Vitamin A in Polar Bear Livers can kill: http://members.tripod.com/~Prof_Anil_Aggrawal/poiso032.html http://www.itk.ca/environment/wildlife-polar-bear.php http://www.hww.ca/hww2.asp?id=99
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinol Vitamin A overdose Too much Vitamin A can be harmful or fatal. The body converts the dimerized form, carotene, into vitamin A as it is needed, therefore high levels of carotene are not toxic compared to the ester (animal) forms. The livers of certain animals, especially those adapted to polar environments, often contain amounts of vitamin A that would be toxic to humans. The first documented death due to vitamin A poisoning was Xavier Mertz, a Swiss scientist who died in January 1913 on an Antarctic expedition that had lost its food supplies and fell to eating its sled dogs. Mertz consumed lethal amounts of vitamin A by eating the dogs' livers. The liver of the polar bear also has enough vitamin A to kill a human being. Excess vitamin A has also been suspected to be a contributor to osteoporosis. I could not find anything that talked about anything else in a polar bear's liver killing, but could have missed it. Does anyone have a url?
