Woman Turned Her Placenta Into Chocolate Truffles

We’ve talked about women eating their placentas on this site more times than I can count.  It’s sooooo gross and unnecessary. There’s tons of evidence that suggests it’s an extremely crappy idea. If anything, it’s potentially dangerous. Why would you risk eating your own placenta if the benefits are questionable (and likely non-existent)? And also, it’s your placenta. EWWWW. For crying out loud. Make a superfruit smoothie or something.

I simply cannot figure out why this is still a trend. Kim K ingested her placenta in pill form, which is probably the least gross option. But others are making placenta pizzas…

…and drinking placenta smoothies…

…and turning their placentas into chocolate truffles. (Sorry. I’m still legit gagging from those pictures.)

It has come to this. Placenta chocolate truffles.

A new mother had her placenta turned into a batch of chocolates – and documented the entire process on Snapchat.

Beautician Kiley Witworth, 23, from Georgia, who gave birth to son Samuel on Tuesday with partner Nick, hired a professional to whip up a batch of the chocolates – which she claims will improve her postnatal health – after spotting a business card for placenta encapsulation on the maternity ward.

She then filmed the organ being dehydrated, blended and turned into truffles and heart-shaped chocolates on her Snapchat – complete with footage of her sampling them the treats for the first time.

Warning: This video is not for the easily queasy…

She just ruined Oreo balls for me forever. SO GROSS. My gagging reflexes are still kicking in. Stop this madness at once!
