Question 1

Is alaska native sea lion liver (Stellar) healthy?

Accepted Answer

Alaska Native sea lion liver is very nutrient dense, with 137 calories, 22.9 g protein, 5 g fat, 9 mg iron, and 4.1 mg zinc per 100 g. The downside is that it also has 359 mg cholesterol per 100 g, which is very high, and marine mammal tissues can carry contaminant burdens, including mercury and organochlorines, in some regions.

Question 2

Does sea lion liver raise cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

It may. Alaska Native sea lion liver has 359 mg cholesterol per 100 g, which is a very large amount, even though saturated fat is only 1.3 g. Dietary cholesterol does not affect everyone equally, and saturated fat usually matters more for LDL, but with a number this high, frequent large portions could still be less ideal for someone who already has elevated LDL or other cardiovascular risk factors.

Question 3

Will sea lion liver cause blood pressure increase?

Accepted Answer

Alaska Native sea lion liver has only 88 mg sodium per 100 g, and 291 mg potassium, which is unlikely to cause blood pressure increase by itself.
