    In the 17th century, Europeans would ingest ground up mummies to treat headaches and nosebleeds, believing human body parts had medicinal properties. Today, cannibalism is frowned upon as human meat provides few calories compared to foods like beef and carries risks of transmitting diseases. Some cultures traditionally engaged in cannibalism, but the practice has ceased in places like Papua New Guinea after people died from prion diseases contracted from eating infected human brains. While not illegal, cannibalism may involve crimes like grave robbing or murder. Some women practice autocannibalism by eating their placenta after birth for purported health benefits, but the CDC warns this could transfer harmful bacteria from mother to child.
