I'd want to see some stats on this that show this is the case. Is there more Dioxin
or PCB in liver tissue than in other organs or in muscle? I'd expect the biggest
build-up in  fat tissue since most of the stuff you don't want is not polar or just
has some polar piece at one spot.

So I'd stay away from highly fatty variants of hamburger.

Also, if liver toxin accumulation was a big problem I'd expect a higher
rate of various liver diseases as compared to other organ diseases. Perhaps
this is the case.
Does liver cancer happen more often than other organ cancers? (leaving aside lung
cancer from smoking)
