I can't speak for the source, as polarbearfacts dot net may have a polar bear bias but https://polarbearfacts.net/polar-bear-liver/ Looks like it may not kill you, but its not the best thing

if I go through the trouble of tracking down a polar bear, seducing it over the course of weeks, giving it sweet loving, and then killing it when its guard is down you drat bet I am going to eat the loving liver no matter what some ivory tower intellectual at polarbearfacts dot net has to say about it
