Cockroach milk could be the solution to the global food crisis. And no kidding

"It has proteins, fats and sugars. If you see protein sequence has all the essential amino acids. "

Yes, you read right the title: I speak cockroach milk. It is a 4 times more nutritious than cow milk and food is absolutely in every corner of the world. With the impending food crisis, according to experts, is approaching. This could be the solution to future problems. And that is not an invention. A study published by the International Union of Crystallography Journals, which involved researchers from India, United States, Canada, France and Japan, so says.
The results showed that, as is viviparous, the species of cockroaches, Diplotera punctata, rather known as the Pacific beetle can manufacture a type of milk containing protein crystals.
Its components make milk cockroach is up to four times more nutritious for humans, compared to cow's milk.

"Crystals are a complete food: They proteins, fats and sugars. If you see protein sequence has all essential amino acids, "said sanchari Banerjee, one of the study investigators to Times of India.

"These components form a milk which is four times more nutritious than cow" added the expert.
But that is not all. Furthermore, these crystals were found to protein release energy gradually over a long period of time. That is, we could feed fewer times a day and nutrition would not be affected.

Thanks to these characteristics, experts say milk cockroach is one of the nutritional solutions to the exponential growth of the world population. And of course, it makes sense, because as population density increases considerably, soon food will begin to dwindle in more places on the planet.
Moreover, the researchers found that these protein crystals could also contribute in medicine, designing nanoparticles for drug delivery.
Currently, we are working on methods of producing protein crystals in laboratories without the presence of cockroaches.
