My advice for the katsaridaphobes, you’d better not click on Next to avoid the yucky feelings unless you are curious to know what this epitome of horror that you shoo away every time it crosses your path can offer to your health!
The question that many of you are asking at this particular moment: Can you really milk a cockroach? Well, let’s find out together!
#1 – The study
© PinterestLet’s be honest, this new discovery seems very far to be true and quite hard to believe. However, some scientists believe that right inside the belly of that disgusting insect which scares the hell out of you nutrient rich crystals are found!
Barbara Stay who is a university professor and the first one to carry the research on cockroach milk explained to NPR Radio saying that during the process of development, the embryos of the Pacific beetle cockroach feed on a liquid from their mother.
The latter liquid settles later in the intestines in the form of very small crystals which are believed to be highly nutritious. In clear and simple words, Pacific beetle cockroach is so much like humans. They don’t really give birth to their young babies by laying eggs which is the case of most other roaches.
In fact, the Pacific beetle cockroach keeps the babies in brood sacs through which the mother Pacific beetle cockroach produces food and feeds its offspring. The embryos, therefore, feed on that liquid substance which is found to be loaded with fats, sugars, and protein.
