Tom Cruise once made the front pages by joking that he was going to eat the placenta of his then fiancee Katie Holmes when she gives birth. Who knows, he may actually have done so unless Katie got to it first.

Some women seem to believe that eating their own placenta is a natural way of dealing with the fairly common post-partum depression. It’s also been claimed that the afterbirth holds beneficial nutritional properties. They call it Placentophagia.
