Can I eat the placenta: scientific approach

Researchers at the US Northwestern University in 2015, analyzed thePlacentophagy: therapeutic miracle or myth? 49 articles have been devoted to platsentofagii (so scientifically called eating the placenta) and went from 1950 to 2014. They came to this conclusion:

His, of course, can not be measured and no check and no one can say whether this act or special agents working awareness of the fact that the woman is doing something "useful for themselves." In addition, such surveys were carried out organizations that produce products of the placenta - the same capsule, for example.
