Re: oxtail

Eating human flesh is illegal in this and most other countries so I would expect eating placenta, even if it is your own is as well.

Young wives' tale

But there has been a longstanding belief among some new mothers that eating the placenta can yield benefits.

One supposed reason is that it can reduce the incidence of post-natal depression. It has also been claimed to have nutritional properties needed by women after childbirth.

But consultant obstetrician Maggie Blott dismisses the post-natal depression theory. In fact, says Dr Blott, a spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, there's no medical justification at all.

"Animals eat their placenta to get nutrition - but when people are already well-nourished, there is no benefit, there is no reason to do it," she says.

Oh yes it is....I had an appendix operation in 1950 and the Doc said it was as a result of chewing my fingernails....stopped when false teeth were introdeced...now I have lovely manicured nails. :)

With all that trans fat and cholesterol, I'd stick with the placenta;)
