Cockroach milk is the superfood the world’s been waiting for (http://nypost.com/2016/07/26/cockroach-milk-is-the-superfood-the-worlds-been-waiting-for/)



Think twice before killing the next cockroach you find in your apartment.

A team of scientists at India’s Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (https://www.instem.res.in/) discovered that cockroach milk may be the greatest superfood of them all.

The Pacific beetle cockroach (the only kind that gives birth to live young) feeds it’s babies by lactating protein-dense crystals, which pack fats, sugars, amino acids, and more than four times the nutrition of cow’s milk.
“It’s time-released food,” project lead Subramanian Ramaswamy told The Times of India. (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Roach-milk-proteins-fantastic-food-supplement/articleshow/53268325.cms) “They can be a fantastic protein supplement.”

But don’t swap out your smoothie’s almond milk just yet. Despite it’s nutritional value, cockroach milk is extremely high in calories.

Researchers are currently working to sequence the genes so they can be reproduced in a lab—and the world can avoid the horror of a cockroach milking farm.

State Autopsy reveals roaches are fine for you- eat away

Death of cockroach-eating contest winner in Florida puzzles experts

Wednesday Oct 10, 2012 10:41 AM

Insect experts say the mere act of eating roaches, while repulsive to many, shouldn’t have killed Edward Archbold. Some theorize Archbold may have had an allergic reaction.
Archbold ate more than 60 grams of meal worms, 35 three-inch-long “super worms” and part of a bucket full of discoid roaches to win the “Midnight Madness” bug-eating competition Friday night at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach, about 40 miles north of Miami, according to The Miami Herald. The take-home grand prize was a python from the reptile shop.
Shortly after winning the contest, Archbold became ill and began to vomit, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said. He collapsed in front of the store and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
The medical examiner's office said Tuesday that it has sent samples of Archbold's remains for testing, but results are not expected for another week or two.
“We know cockroaches shed a lot of allergens, but they’re not toxic in and of themselves,” Bill Kern, a professor of entomology at the University of Florida, told The Miami Herald (http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/10/09/3042458/death-of-roach-eating-contest.html). “Very few [human] cultures tend to eat cockroaches because they store large amounts of uric acid and nitrogenous waste. And they tend to be scavengers and feed on things most people wouldn’t consider to be desirable.”
Mike Tringale, vice president of external affairs at the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, told The Associated Press it's possible that Archbold "hit his tolerance level to cockroach allergens" and went into anaphylactic shock.
Tringale said that such a severe reaction to cockroaches is "probably rare," however.
Coby Schal, a North Carolina State University entomologist, also surmised that the death was likely an allergic response, "but there is always a possibility that cockroaches do carry bacteria, but the response won't be immediate. It would take time for bacteria to be a problem."


Prior to the autopsy result Dr Bill Kern, a professor of entomology at the University of Florida, had speculated it might have been an allergic reaction to the large amount of foreign protein that killed the 32-year-old.
He told the Herald: 'We know cockroaches shed a lot of allergens, but they’re not toxic in and of themselves.

'Very few [human] cultures tend to eat cockroaches because they store large amounts of uric acid and nitrogenous waste. And they tend to be scavengers and feed on things most people wouldn’t consider to be desirable.'
None of the other 30 competitors fell ill after the contest and store manager Ben Siegel's attorney said the roaches were all raised in sterile conditions and were perfectly safe to eat.
Despite this, all competitors were asked to sign waivers acknowledging the risks of gastrointestinal illness, adverse allergic reactions - especially in those with shellfish allergies - and injury or pain associated with consuming live insects as they pass through the esophagus.

how long will it be before the milks bad for you crowd start telling us we shouldn't drink roach milk?

I've been waiting for Malk to come on the main stream market but it seems we are going to leap frog it and go straight to Milc.

The Florida mans problem clearly was the roaches were not supplied as green gelatinous protein bars.

Death of cockroach-eating contest winner in Florida puzzles experts

I'm contesting these autopsy results, as i have seen some state licensed coroners on T.V.

My estimate, is that he died from the shock of winning the contest.
