Starting point is 00:00:27 I trust.com. listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. How hungry are you? Are you really hungry? Now, you know the United Nations for years now, has really been trying to push the underlying insects are good conversation and that to fix some of the human food crisis that the UN is so quick to say. exists, that we need to fill that void with insects.
Starting point is 00:01:08 And it's not gone over that well. I mean, they keep pushing it. Well, chalk full of protein, the insect milk may someday be transformed into a food supplement worthy of human consumption. Will it? Scientists have found the Pacific beetle cockroach feeds its bug, Babies, a formula, which is remarkably rich in protein, fat, and sugar. And I want to be on record as saying that's where it should stay is with the bug babies of
Starting point is 00:01:50 the Pacific beetle cockroach. Okay. I don't know about you. It just doesn't. I mean, I'm not looking forward to my milk, to my cookies with my Pacific beetle cockroach milk. Now, obviously. many people would agree that insect liquid takes the form of protein crystals in the guts of baby cockroaches.
Starting point is 00:02:19 It's sounding better and better every second. The protein crystals are milk for the cockroach. It's important for its growth and development. Now, scientist Leonard Eschavis, one of the scientists behind the research, explained the crystals have a whopping three. Three times the energy of an equivalent mass of buffalo milk and about four times the equivalent of cows milk. You've almost got me there, scientist Leonard Chavez. I've almost ready to believe you. The cockroach, one of the hardiest creatures on the planet, can live a month without food.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Did you know that? And they're always out scavenging. The interest is what it really is made of. said Chavez. Yeah. Chavez and his colleagues examined the species, the Pacific beetle cockroach, is able to bring forth live babies
Starting point is 00:03:27 that have developed within the mother's body. It's the only known cockroach that does this. All the other cockroaches lay eggs and they develop outside of the body. Soon after the embryo ingests the liquid protein crystals, start to develop within its mid-gut. So they extracted these crystals to obviously learn more about them. And they need to get the gene sequencing.
Starting point is 00:03:55 And it was discovered that it is a complete food, according to Chavez. It's what one would need. Protein, essential amino acids, lipids, and sugars, explaining that the energy content is so high, it helps infants within this unique species grow much bigger than cockroach babies of other species. Though the crystal formation may seem surprising other crystals, including insulin, they try to sell you now. You've got crystals in your body that take shape.
Starting point is 00:04:28 So this is just more crystals developing in your body if you take the crystal cockroach milk. Ultimately, however, his team is hoping to reverse bioengineer the cockroach milk so that it doesn't have to be extracted from the embryos. which, you know, takes a little time and energy. So they're trying to, you know, figure out how to do that. But Chavez said he lost the drinking game with his colleagues and tasted the cockroach milk. No particular taste. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Now, he kind of, though, the idea of ice cream, cockroach milk ice cream appeals to me. You know, I can imagine a flavor, cockroach. milk flavor with honey and crispy pieces? Uh-huh. Don't forget the fact insects can survive a nuclear disaster. Maybe someday provide the ultimate liquid superfood. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Mm-mm-mm-mm. Pacific beetle cockroach milk. Man, oh, man, oh, man, am I thirsty? How about you, Rocky? Wait, that was no. Say yes to the cockroach milk. No, say yes. Okay.
