oh yea sam got told by me

culfunk83: Culliman78: Most women will probably be aware of the age-old rumour that some mothers reputedly enjoy tucking into a nourishing meal of placenta after giving birth. Indeed it is commonplace for some cultures and, of course, many of our friends in the animal kingdom have always enjoyed it. However, to your average discerning human being it still doesn't seem that appealing a prospect. In the Western world it is accepted, although unproven, that eating placenta will reduce the risk of post-natal depression. This is because the organ is rich in minerals and vitamins, particularly B6, which can help to fight depression.
Thendxcrd: hehe yes!
culfunk83: you were right
culfunk83: my bro sent me that
culfunk83: hehe, he says they have recipes for it
