MORE and more Singaporean women are turning to placenta treatments for beauty and health reasons. The placenta is an organ that lines the uterine wall during pregnancy, and is attached to the baby by the umbilical cord. It is expelled during birth, but increasingly the placenta is being preserved for its nutritional and cosmetic values.

One woman who swears by its benefit is Ms May Kwong, founder and director of Maylande, a spa that uses human placenta as one of its main ingredients in its treatments. Once suffering from liver cirrosis, she was yellowed with jaundice and had to sleep for close to 23 hours a day. But consuming placenta, she claimed, led to a full recovery in 3 months. Now, even her once cynical daughters are advocates of placenta jabs and tonics, which they go to Hong Kong for.

Placenta jabs are not available in Singapore. In fact, famous aesthetician Dr Martin Huang was recently fined for administering sheep placenta jabs into his patients.

According to Ms Kwong, placenta treatments can cost up to over HK$100,000 ($20,000) for first time treatments in Hong Kong. At $5,000 per injection, the price of beauty might still be too much for some to stomach.

However, the placenta treatment has many critics. Dr Tan Siew Buoy, a traditional Chinese practitioner in the Infertility department of Thong Chai Medical Instituition, discouraged human placenta consumption, especially in its raw form. Quick to point out that placenta is rarely prescribed in Singapore, she suggested many other alternative herbs that offered the same health benefits.

Popcorn + soda = 3 burgers

LOS ANGELES - MOVIEGOERS who tuck into a medium popcorn and a soft drink could be eating the equivalent of three McDonald's quarter-pounder burgers topped with a dozen scoops of butter, according to a US study.

A laboratory analysis of snacks sold at US cinemas and commissioned by the Center for Science and Public Interest (CSPI) found a medium popcorn and soft drink contained 1,160 calories and three days' worth - 60 grams - of saturated fat.

'Who expects about 1,500 calories and three days' worth of heart-stopping fat in a popcorn and soda combo? That's the saturated fat of a stick of butter and the calories of two sticks of butter,' said CSPI senior nutritionist Jayne Hurley in a statement. 'You might think you're getting Bambi, but you're really getting Godzilla.'

She said even sharing a small portion of popcorn between two people would mean consuming a day's worth of saturated fat, the kind that clogs arteries and is linked to heart disease.

Ms Hurley said every tablespoon of 'buttery' oil topping adds another 130 calories according to the study published in Nutrition Action Healthletter.

'Asking for topping is like asking for oil on French fries or potato chips,' she added. -- REUTERS
