shared the information about breast milk ice cream with you, then stop reading now.

A woman from Swindon has had a court order banning her from using raw placenta to make smoothies.  Really.

According to the BBC Report the woman cannot afford to fight the ban, which was a relief to us here in the Newsnibbles office, as it is bad enough the stuff the interns leave in the fridge at the moment.

According to the report the woman, who we are choosing not to name as it would involve remembering her name or flicking from tab to tab, which would ruin the creative flow of this report stated that:

“It’s full of iron and other nutrients that are very good for new mums who have just been through a very energy-expending experience.”  Well, so is spinach.  She also stated, response to the concern that Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is present in human placenta that “I personally have seen scientific evidence that makes me believe the risk is not there.”

This evidence, however apparently did not convince the court, and since the BBC report did not go on to show said evidence, we can’t tell you what is is, as that would involve doing actual research and life is too short.

Apparently the argument that practically every other mammal does it also did not hold up in court, which is also a relief to us as we have genuine concerns as to the kind of precedent this would set should it be a winning argument.

Not done our hard hitting political quiz yet?  Why not scroll back a post and give it a go?
