Would you eat your Placenta if you knew it would make you look younger?
Actress January Jones has announced that eating her placenta made her camera ready just weeks after giving birth. While there are claims that consuming afterbirth can help balance hormones, boost energy and reduce the signs of aging, there is little scientific evidence of its benefits. However, eating the placenta has been practiced for generations around the world so would you be willing to try some? For me I am a tad squeamish. Seems like a form of cannibalism.
In my case ... it was not my Placenta ... It was my Mom's Placenta ... I was only attached to it.
And "eating" ones own Flesh and Blood ... is Suicide ... its pure Insanity ...
But since that mad man who ate human Flesh in America and stocked it in his freezer and fridges ...
its being euphemistically described ... as cannibalism.
This "Genetics" related madness is now being "acted" out by actors ... at the behest of its promoters ...
Placenta has something to do with my Being ... nothing to do ... with my gourmet.
By humans, really?? Well no, looking younger is not that important to me. I don't mind looking my age. I can even eat lima beans, no way could I eat placenta regardless of the benefits.
No. Nothing has made me look younger and probably won't do so.
