I see that many people are buying placenta near the hospital. Can I ask if the placenta is edible?

    In general, we do not recommend eating this thing. Although the human placenta appears to be "rich in nutrients", it is also a "river cart" carrying various viruses and pathogens. Viruses such as measles, hepatitis B, AIDS, and syphilis may enter the human body through such channels.
