Reality television star Khloe Kardashian has revealed she plans to eat her newborn child’s placenta, copying a trend set by her elder sister Kim.
“I’m going to eat it in pills,” Khloe told Kim on Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “I really can’t deal with that belly button, placenta thing.”
“My placenta was like double the size, it was really oddly big, so she gave me two jars,” Kim responded, adding that she asked for “grape flavor” in her “picked placenta.”
Khloe Kardashian, 33, is currently expecting her first child with basketball player Tristan Thompson, although the pair are not currently married.
“I was married before and it didn’t do anything for me,” she said. “I’m in a good, healthy relationship.”
The baby will be the third child to be born into the Kardashian-Jenner clan in 2018, following the birth of Kim and Kanye West’s third child, Chicago West, and Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s firstborn Stormi Webster.
Doctors are split over the health benefits of eating the placenta. A recent study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology found little if any practical benefits in the practice.
