What to do with the Placenta

I’m familiar with storing cord blood, but have NEVER heard of saving and EATING the placenta.  I bet this is a pretty controversial topic.  So yes, potentially there are some serious health benefits to it.  But, GROSS!  That’s my opinion.  What’s yours?

From Pregnancy.org:

Studies have shown that eating the placenta can curb postpartum depression, replenish nutrients, increase milk production, and slow postpartum hemmorrhage. Read “Placentophagy” to learn more.
