afterbirth

The special tissues associated with the development of a fetus in the uterus that are expelled after the birth of a neonate. These are the placenta, or the structure attached to the wall of the uterus through which nourishment passes from the mother to the fetus, and the umbilical cord, which attaches the fetus to the placenta.

泉州盛行胎盤宴 饕客爭食 恐有染愛滋風險

胎盤經放血、乾燥處理,用作中藥稱為「紫河車」(圖:三七健康網)
中國民間吃胎盤歪風屢禁不止,福建省泉州市餐飲界近日盛行胎盤宴,一盅「胎盤燉淮山湯」要價約2500元新台幣,必須提前預約才吃得到,食客趨之若鶩。不過醫界提醒,食用來路不明的胎盤有感染愛滋病或肝炎之虞,而且胎盤經過高溫烹煮養分已被破壞,和吃豬肚沒有兩樣。

  中新網報導,泉州一家三星級飯店的邱姓廚師透露,一個新鮮胎盤醫院「售價」約1500元台幣,做成一盅「胎盤燉淮山湯」要價約2500元台幣,通常飯店的菜單上沒有這道菜只賣給熟客,而一個胎盤約可做4盅湯品,獲利相當驚人。

  泉州市人民醫院中醫科主任王金都指出,胎盤的蛋白質和賀爾蒙等物質,經過高溫烹煮早已破壞殆盡,和吃豬肚沒有兩樣,此外還有罹患愛滋病、肝炎等傳染病風險。

  此外,根據中國現行的法令,胎盤的所有權歸屬於產婦,醫院私下販售是違法行為。

   一名正常胎兒的胎盤重約500克,由腺體組織、纖維組織和結締組織等組成。胎盤若經過放血、乾燥處理,用作中藥稱為「紫河車」,民間相信具有滋補功能。 瀋陽市婦嬰醫院副院長周衛衛表示,將新鮮胎盤煮熟吃下,不少物質已在高溫中被破壞,營養與吃一般肉類無異,並沒有特殊補身功能。此外,產婦生產過程中,胎 盤可能受到多種細菌污染,隨意服食胎盤極可能罹患愛滋、肝炎等傳染疾病。
