bear liver actually contains toxic levels of Vitamin A
note: the beta carotine (which is a precursor to Vitamin A found in vegetables such as carrorts, pumpkin, etc.) is NOT fat soluable, therefore it is much, much harder to get too much of it. Liver (espeically bear liver -- because they eat fish whole, eating the livers of fish after fish) is the biggest "watch out" for Vitamin A intake because Vitamin A is stored in the liver.

Liver
Cheese
Whole Eggs
Other Vegetables (dark green and yellow ones)
As Vit A is stored in the fat it can accumulate if you are eating lots of the Vit A rich foods. To get to a level where the Vit A became a danger you would have to be eating huge amounts of the foods;

unless you're eating liver daily you're unlikely to get vitamin a toxicity.
as an example 300g of cheddar cheese gives about 1 mg vitamin A - thats a lot ofcheese, compared with 100grams of liver which gives 40 mg of vitamin a.

I have no idea but I do know that pumpkin pie has an absurd amount of Vitamin A in it (it's from the pumpkin)--plus being very good, it is easy to overeat, so be careful with it!

Not off the top of my head but if you are worried about it make sure not to eat too much of any one thing. Variety and moderation.
