Okay. So now that you don't have the numbers, you use how fast it developed. ONE STORM. Got it. While tragic to those in it's path, it doesn't prove zhit.
No. Scientists have not said that "cockroach milk is 3 times more nutritious than cow's milk."
This is a dumbing down of what some scientists are reportedly saying, from the dumb people that create dumb memes that certain forum members just can't seem (or want) to stop themselves from posting on this forum.
This is a plausible summary of what some scientists have actually said:
Cockroach milk is a protein-rich substance that female Pacific beetle cockroaches feed their young.
Many foodies and scientists have become interested in cockroach milk because it contains both protein crystals and amino acids.
Cockroach milk is technically a complete food according to nutritionists, as it contains all the essential amino acids, fat, and carbohydrates you need.
However, there isn’t enough science to prove that cockroach milk is an adequate dairy-milk alternative for human consumption.
However, there isn’t enough science to prove that cockroach milk is an adequate dairy-milk alternative for human consumption.
Here's a brand new report on the subject:
quote
It is estimated that a single glass of cockroach milk is extraordinarily rich in minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc, four times more nutritious than cow’s milk and capable of generating three times the energy, so it could be the food of the future .
However, those (if any) hoping to find cockroach milk readily available on supermarket shelves should probably know that its production is not that feasible, as you have to keep in mind that to produce a glass of this drink, it would be necessary to collect more than a thousand specimens of the insect.
In any case, the only solution, on which the researchers are already working, is to manufacture it in the laboratory, isolating the gene and reproducing it in microbiological tanks, as also suggested by the University of Iowa zoologist Barbara Stay, who agrees with their Indian colleagues.
La Cucaracha - Charlie Parker In the aftermath, in the ruins of the cities, the ashes and crumbled concrete and steel corrosion. The ad campaign to market the bug juice, a catchy jingle comes to mind.
Cae Cae - Carmen Miranda Sure, all the Hollywood stars in on the sale of Soylent Green to the proles, the unfortunate unwashed in the remains of the cities, burnt by the opening salvos of WW_Three. Turns out, ha ha, that the bugs process the radioactive fissile materials out of their wholesome milk, ' It's good fer yuh ! '. A milk mustache on all the kids around the breakfast table, smiling away, all happy like.
A number of articles circulating everywhere online are claiming that a new ‘superfood’ has been found in cockroaches, and although I’m happy popular culture is focusing on the fact cockroaches are good moms…they’re missing a far more important story.
To put this research into context, the Pacific Beetle Roach (Diploptera punctata) gives live birth and nourishes its young inside her body until they’re big enough to defend themselves. It’s an interesting evolutionary story, and one that’s kind of important. However, nobody has really seriously thought about using this species for food. People become allergic to cockroaches very easily. The Milk proteins secreted by these roaches also lack Methionine and Tryptophan…amino acids humans need for survival but which we can’t make.
However, this is a protein which does some pretty cool things…and could be used to design new drugs.
So let’s explore what’s really going on with cockroach milk.
The article continues online. That was about 25% or maybe 33.333...% of the entire text. Or maybe just 20%. (It's been a few years since I last had my eyeballs tested for text estimation acuity.) It includes "visuals" and a list of research journal citations or references. "Footnotes."

As it so happens, Mr. middle school mentality moron, I'm not particularly fascinated by this "Bug Milk" story. I have made something of it (people can scroll back and see my posts about it) because I wanted to probe what forum member Wichita was thinking when he posted the first reference to it in this thread:
I have some ideas about that, but Wichita has not been explanatory about it, himself.

No you don't. In all the years that I have lurked on this forum I have never observed you express even one original thought or idea.
Your existence here consists of a long, tiresome, trolling stream, providing links to other people's words and ideas about which you "grace" us with either your dimwitted agreement or disagreement.
The most generous possible assessment of your "intellect" is that you are shallower than a birdbath and as noisy as a magpie.

If there's a future for "cockroach milk" as a commercially viable food for humans, it goes like this: Scientists isolate the gene(s) in cockroach DNA that endow the mother cockroach with the ability to produce this so-called "milk". Scientists use the technique of gene splicing to create a Genetically Modified Organism that could be farmed or cultivated to create large quantities of the milk-like substance.
Maybe a single-celled organism such as a yeast, or an algae. Something that could be cultivated in vats or ponds and harvested to extract the milk-like substance in quantities that would be commercially viable as a food source for humans.
Lactose intolerant, but want something with more complete nutrition than soy milk or any of the other currently available alternatives to milk from the dairy farm? Have some "roach" milk.
I don't see it being marketed as "roach" milk. Maybe "yeast" milk if it were produced using a genetically modified yeast. The branding and marketing, not so taxing of human ingenuity as the science and engineering of it.
"Can you say it is not so?"

Using gene-splicing to create genetically modified organisms with the "cockroach milk" gene(s) could become the basis of a commercially viable venture to produce therapeutic drugs (or even food) that takes advantage of the special properties of the proteins in "cockroach milk".
Meanwhile, the forum's brain-dead reich-winger(s) are busying themselves as usual, mindlessly cackling over their dumb-s**t Internet memes. They won't become any smarter, even if the MAGA-maggots that they adulate do well in the midterm elections.

My Goodness! You are so incredibly busy with your naive, simplistic and childishly superficial "Google-splanation" of gene splicing.
What is more, you somehow manage to do that while simultaneously congratulating yourself on how "intelligent" you believe yourself to be and how massively stupid you think others are.
As much of a time consuming task all of that is for an arrogant little twat like you perhaps you could still spare a moment and entertain everyone with your personal academic and scientific accomplishments.
I suspect that you are really just a strikingly unaccomplished as well as unlearned little magpie so, please, prove me wrong and astound us with documented proof of how "intellectual" you are.

Crickets good, pork chops no, she said. Yay ! Crickets ! Mmmm Mmmm ! A creamy sauce of asparagus slathered on, sauteed mushrooms sprinkled atop to accent. A garnish of parsley, steamed rice and carrots, a nice veggie dinner.
Crying over Crickets Think of this opportunity to partake the future of modern food on a mass scale, the locusts feeding billions of hungry children in the smoldering ruins of the 21st century, in the 22nd century. They still use cardboard cutouts in the likeness of Biden_Joe to use as target practice, Skipping on the cracked concrete sidewalks, from a century before.

But aren't the health food enthusiasts giving a thumbs down to GMO's?
How many people have died in Ukraine, Afghanistan, our southern border, from fentanyl, from random killings in major US cities....that would have been alive if it were not for the $#%&&*^$#@$& leftist policies of the Biden administration?
At this moment, Putin is raining death down on innocent civilians all across Ukraine.
At this moment, 150 miles south of me, women and children are being raped and killed, and being forced to carry poison to unwitting young Americans.
At this moment, someone is being murdered in Chicago, Detroit or St Louis...or maybe even right out on the Las Vegas Strip.
At this moment, YOU have a choice to make. You have one month to decide.

I'm not a health food enthusiast, particularly. And I'm not against GMOs.
It's very speculative to speculate that this "cockroach milk" could be produced in viable commercial quantities by creating a genetically modified yeast or some other organism to produce it. But short of that, the research (which involves X-ray crystallography) that is elucidating the exact structures of the proteins in cockroach milk could be used to bootstrap the development of new pharmaceuticals, without involving any GMOs.
And...?

I'd be very interested in this also, any contributions to mankind, this country, anything other than internet "Gumbo"? I won't suggest that Rinselbug isn't good at coming up with sources that I assume support his postings, I rarely read the postings and never click on the provided links he comes up with.
So, Rinselburg, what you got?

Not once over the many years have I ever said, or suggested, or hinted on this forum that the things that I say on this forum should be respected or regarded in a positive light because of anything in my background or anything I have ever said, done, or been, outside of this forum.
When it comes to whatever I have already said or might yet say on this forum... "It Is What It Is" and nothing more. I think it would not be unreasonable for any other forum member to regard an "rinselberg" message as if it were an anonymous message. As if it were text or images posted by some forum "lurker" without a forum username or screen name. (This forum doesn't allow that, but hypothetically ...)

As it is with almost all such memes or cartoons, the question that it raises is this:
