New Moms Can Stop Eating Their Placentas Now

'The opinion, though not an official position, is perhaps the firmest stance taken on the issue since placenta consumption became a thing roughly a decade ago. '

'Believers say it wards off postpartum depression, helps with breast milk supply, and gives new moms an energy boost. '

'The little scientific study that has been conducted around eating one’s own placenta—known as placentophagy—hasn’t been able to prove either benefit or harm. '

'Research conducted last year—published as part of a larger yet-to-be-released study on overall health benefits of the practice—found placenta pills offered new mothers no more iron than a beef placebo. '

'Though no real science exists to support those claims, instead bolstered by celebrity testimonials and real mom anecdotes, eating your own placenta has gone from fringe to mainstream. '
