Scientists Say "It's Normal to Want to Eat Your Baby"

"If you ever thought about consuming your baby, Don't worry, that's completely normal"
 
-Huffington Post
 
 
In one of the strangest studies I've seen in quite some time, researchers from The Christian Science Monitor extracted fresh baby smell from 2-day-old infants and presented the to two different groups of women.  15 of them were mothers and 15 of them were women who never gave birth.  The reaction from both groups were the same.
 
 
The reaction was stronger in mother than in non mothers, suggesting that child birth causes hormonal changes in mothers.  The triggers seems to be the smell of babies that triggers the reward recpeptor in the brain, that same that food also triggers, cause mothers to have the urge to eat they're babies.
 
 
As of this time we don't have any information about men in this study as they were not tested.
 
 
In closing, we do not condone the consuming of your baby, that's just wrong, but if you've thought about it, maybe your not as crazy as you thought.
