Well - my gran always said that drinking the first pee of the day was very good for your skin . And no - I haven't felt the need to test her theory out!!!
But from what I've seen you do have lovely skin

What do you mean, "some tribes"? its still done here, i know people who have asked the midwife to preserve the afterbirth so that they could take it home and eat it. I think its rich in iron which is what meany women need after giving birth If i remeber correctly you boil it!

Thats just disgusting. Wouldn't that be a form of cannibalism?
If they were really after Iron, then couldn't they just take some supplement tabs?

Quote by veejay
Beef and shellfish etc is considered foodstuff and you need to eat to survive. I know that due to hunger people will eat each other, but I don't think women/men who eat placenta are normally starving. Just very odd that they'd go to the trouble of cannibalising.

again.
Try drinking all your own urine constantly, how long do you think you will last before getting renal failure?
Quote by Scandal
I don't want to be a pedant Veejay but cannibalism is eating other people, not yourself.
Personally I would rather eat a placenta that I had produced (unlikely I know ! ) than the mass produced foodstuffs like American beef packed with hormones and steroids or genetically modified giant king prawns grown in artificial environments, bleached white and sprayed with pink paint !

Quote by Bloke2005
The placenta is classed as an organ in it's own right until the baby is born. It then dies pretty quickly (it actually starts to calcify in the late stages of an over 'term' pregnancy) so, technically it is 'born' of the egg rather than the embryo which is a product of the egg and the sperm... ain't there any medical doctors on here? I spent my entire summer 2004 working on a labour ward but not 100% on this one
Quote by foxylady 123
Try to think beyond your own society, some religions and societies would never think of eating anything that had lived. Personally i do nt view anything that has had a face as food, the idea disgusts me.
However the placenta has never lived independantly therefore i find the eating of it as exceptable and not at all canibal like. As scandal implies, at least we know where it has been .

my geography teacher taught us that if we was in the desert and dying of thirst it would be better to drink each others urine because you would get less toxic waste that one has used before and different body system produce a better more benifital urine.
