the fact that it's disgusting aside, the placenta carries spinal chord blood that is often harvested so that should the child have a life threatening blood disease such as sickle cell anemia, white cells collected from the blood could be used in treatment ..it's a very expensive process but for parents of children born with problems it could be lifesaving. But of course since Cruise is a looney, he'd rather eat it than save it should his child ever need it
Oh, and he made a pretty nifty joke about eating the placenta. (Really, it was funny.)
Dr. Freeman said:it would be real sad if it came to the baby needing that placenta and Cruise having his way... :|
hmm...does anyone know if eating the placenta is part of Scientology? just curious.
wikipedia said:Hubbard stated that the delivery room should be as silent as possible during birth. This stems from his belief that birth is a trauma that may induce engrams into the baby. Hubbard teaches that words in particular should be avoided because he stated that any words used during birth might be reassociated by an adult, later on in life, with their earlier traumatic birth experience. Hubbard also wrote that the mother should use "as little anaesthetic as possible". According to Hubbard, babies should not be bathed after birth, but should be wrapped up tightly and left alone for a day or so. Also, Hubbard wrote that breastfeeding should be avoided. As an alternative, Hubbard offered a potentially unsafe concoction, which he called the "Barley Formula". [1]
Hubbard was not a medical doctor, nor a pediatrician, nor a trained nutrionist. He received no college training in neo-natal care, or infant care. His claims regarding the care of babies and infants are disputed by many doctors and other professionals. Patricia Devine, MD, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who directs the Labor and Delivery Unit at Columbia University Medical Center, said, "There's absolutely no scientific evidence that taking [noise] away at the time of delivery will have any effect on outcome for the baby or the mother

Greatgat said:Actually, a few years ago I saw this special on the Discovery Channel where these people in other countries were chopping up and frying the placenta and just chomping on it. They were frying it in butter. Inexplicably, my mouth started watering. It looked like a Philly Cheesesteak.

Seriously Tom Cruise, what the ****?
Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has played down reports that he plans to eat the placenta of his new baby.
The War of the Worlds star was quoted in GQ magazine saying he thought the placenta and umbilical cord would be "very nutritious".
But in a subsequent interview with Diane Sawyer on US television, he made light of the comments.
"Yeah, we're going to do that - a whole family thing. Isn't that normal and natural? No, we're not eating it."
