I don't think cholesterol is an issue since it is well known that it is the saturated fat in animal products that raises cholesterol in our blood and NOT dietary cholesterol. Some people are wary of liver because of it's toxin filtering properties (and why I stopped feeling guilty for NOT eating it after years of having my mother trying to trick me into eating it). May not be as much of a concern for calf vs. beef liver. http://www.askmen.com/sports/foodcourt_150/156_eating_well.html
