YUMMY: Cockroach Milk Is The protein Drink You Didn’t Know You’ve Been Missing

For reasons unknown,scientists have been trying to find an alternative to cows’ milk.

But let’s say you are one of those people who is  not interested in the milk from a cow, and soy milk never really caught your fancy, pea milk, goat milk, camel milk or condensed milk aren’t readily available to you. Have you, then, considered cockroach milk?

“One cannot milk a cockroach,” you are thinking, which is true. But one can gather nutrients from their little pieces of parts, and those nutrients could potentially be fueling our milk-free future. 

Now cockroaches have been known to pump out a type of ‘milk’ containing protein crystals to feed its babies. It looks like pus and is sticky when u kill a cockroach.One protein crystal from the belly of this type of cockroach contains three times more energy than an equivalent amount of any type of milk and could be useful in feeding the world’s unsustainably large population well into the future. The proteins are dense in calories, sugars, and fats, so it’s just like the real thing.

“Now the researchers have the sequence,” Science Alert writes, “they are hoping to get yeast to produce the crystal in much larger quantities – making it slightly more efficient than extracting crystals from cockroachs’ guts.”

Licky for MDB readers out there reading this, it’s never been a better time to start having a tall glass on your road to a long and heatheir life. Plus its cheaper! Hehehe.
