NEW PROTEIN DRINK YOU DIDN’T KNOW !!! COCKROACH MILK IS THE NEW BIG SUPER-FOOD (VIDEO)

According to Leonard Chavas, one of the scientists in the study, this unique form of milk contains three times as much protein as buffalo milk and four times as much protein as cow’s milk.
But there’s one major problem in securing the substance for human consumption: the “milk” is not the traditional liquid we think of.



Instead, the Pacific Beetle cockroach produces a protein-rich liquid that it feeds to unborn baby roaches still in their embryonic stage.
Once ingested by the embyro, the liquid is converted into protein crystals within the guts of baby roaches.

“The protein crystals are milk for the cockroach infant,” said Leonard Chavas, one of the scientists in the study, “It is important for its growth and development.”
Upon analyzing the crystals, scientists discovered that it was a complete food.
“It is what one would need: protein, essential amino acids, lipids and sugars,” said Chavas, “For now, we are trying to understand how to control this phenomenon in a much easier way, to bring it to mass production.”
That’s right: scientists are serious about reverse-engineering the crystals so now anyone can enjoy a nice tall glass of…roach milk.



Does this sound like a good idea or a terrible alternative to dairy?
