Are there any health benefits attached to eating a baby’s placenta?
I see no health benefits to eating the placenta. I once read two scientific papers on this topic and both papers stated that the placenta is a good source iron, and provided for increased nutrition after significant blood loss.

See lessI once read two scientific papers on this topic and both papers stated that the placenta is a good source iron, and provided for increased nutrition after significant blood loss. You could get a substantial amount of protein and iron from a couple of hamburgers. You could say the same for veggie burgers if you threw in an iron pill or two. Non-human mammals do eat the placenta, probably simply out of hunger.
A lot of people want things to be natural.
I think that the current craze for all things “natural” doesn’t allow for the fact that the word natural often has a very muddled meaning. The word ‘natural’ is often nothing other than an advertising slogan.
Is being homosexual a mental disorder?
It is definitely not, and I feel it is illogical to even assume so. I am a straight female and I’ve never been attracted to the same sex; not physically, emotionally, or sexually. I could not “force” myself to like or fall in love with someone of the same sex. Same goes for homosexuals, they didn’tRead more
It is definitely not, and I feel it is illogical to even assume so. I am a straight female and I’ve never been attracted to the same sex; not physically, emotionally, or sexually. I could not “force” myself to like or fall in love with someone of the same sex. Same goes for homosexuals, they didn’t ask to be the way they are, they just are. It’s already destined for them. Most homosexuals that I have spoken with said they already knew they felt different at a very young age. A straight person does not and cannot control who they find of the opposite sex to be attractive. It’s instinctive for us to automatically feel an attraction towards whoever we find appealing. You know the feeling you get upon first seeing someone, the feeling that speaks subconsciously, your brain saying “hey that one is attractive, they are someone who I would like to talk to and get to know, someone that may be a potential mate”. It’s already hardwired in the brain to automatically respond to that, it’s one of the few animalistic behaviors that we still have that is innate. It’s an old “survival tactic”, if that makes sense, that humans have carried for thousands of years. Well, all of the above also applies to homosexuals as well. They cannot avert an instinctive, innate behavior. So their mind works the same as a straight person’s when it comes to attraction, it’s just that their attraction is to the same sex. Do you think a straight person would try to intentionally force themselves to be attracted to the same sex? Of course not, because that’s impossible; it doesn’t work that way! So, think of that from a homosexual’s perspective. They simply cannot force themselves to be attracted to the opposite sex. Their brain works just the same as a straight person’s. The only difference is that they find the same sex attractive. They aren’t sick, mentally ill, or anything of the sort; that’s simply nonsense!
