RE: CDC Forced To Tell Americans STOP EATING YOUR PLACENTAS! EWWWWW!
Interesting, do you happen to know how/why the hormones act as an anti-depressant?

I don't know how it works. I would guess the placenta releases happy hormones as some sort of evolutionary survival mechanism to help propagate the species by encouraging motherhood. This could also explain postpartum depression, as the sudden removal of the source of said happy hormones accounts for a sudden drop in mood. It could be a placebo effect too, but I doubt it. We have two kids, and the difference in my wife's mood and productivity was definitely noticeably better with the placenta pills.
