Scientists Say Eating Ants, Silkworms & Grasshoppers Could Protect Against Cancer

A 2019 study concluded that eating ants, grasshoppers and other insects could soon be recommended to protect against cancer.

The study found that cerain insects are rich in antioxidants which are an important component for reducing the risk of cancer and helping to prevent other diseases.

Research found that some types contained more antioxidants than orange juice in a study which saw them ground down to be mixed into a drink.

Intelligent living reports: in the study that was published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, a group of Italian scientists from the University of Rome set out to discover the different types of invertebrates that are rich in antioxidants. They specifically tested the commercially available edible invertebrates and insects. They also checked the antioxidant levels of each of them with the help of different measures.

Before testing the samples, the scientists removed all of the inedible parts such as the wings and stingers. Then, two body parts of each of the species were extracted and tested separately.

They discovered that silkworms, grasshoppers, and crickets have the highest capacity of antioxidants. Their antioxidant levels are five-fold higher than orange juice. While giant cicada, silkworm’s fat-soluble extracts, and African caterpillars have two-fold higher than olive oil, which is another item recommended by food scientists to reduce free radicals. They also found mealworms, black ants and grasshoppers are high in polyphenols, which are micronutrients rich in antioxidants.

At the end of the study, the scientists found that the insects that were vegetarian had much higher antioxidants compared to those of carnivorous such as tarantulas and black scorpions.

Professor Mauro Serafini, who led the research, said:

At least two billion people – a quarter of the world’s population – regularly eat insects. The rest of us will need a bit more encouragement. Edible insects are an excellent source of protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and fiber. But until now, nobody had compared them with classical functional foods such as olive oil or orange juice in terms of antioxidant activity.

      • I’m vegan I’m saying it isn’t new And rhe reason I’m saying it is because there’s one bitch getting the credit for “inventing” the idea She’s a thief It’s centuries old. Look even every aussie knows the aboriginals eat widgery grubs as a delicacy which are a fat earthworm sort of thing Africans have eaten crickets grasshoppers forever etc etc.

  1. They also said the mRNA jabs being falsely touted as “vaccines” against “COVID” were safe and effective.

    The cultures that eat bugs are not the healthiest cultures on the planet…and most are also not very long-lived.
    I know you’re destroying the food supply so that we are left with the same conditions that have driven them to a diet of bugs.

    But I have other solutions already in place.
    So.
    I’ll pass.
    Thanks.

    • PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
      Protocol No. 10 – Preparing for Power

      . . . utterly exhaust humanity with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy and even by the use of torture, by starvation, by inoculation of diseases, by want, so that the goyím see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money and all else.

  2. No thanks, I will just stick to a clean organic plant diet. Raw fruits,seeds, nuts, greens, roots have all you need, wthout the scary parastes and bacteria of the animalia kingdom.

    • Yes I’ve read that some bugs do cause cancer Definitely scavengers of any type are forbidden in the Bible
      Crustaceans Vultures hyenas and some insects are scavengers too

  3. Fk the WEF. While we peasants lose everything and suffer, those aholes and their government traitor supporters feast of beef and wine in the New Liberal Order great reset scam

  4. Is that why henry kissinger has lived to 103; I heard the truth be known, it was from adrenochrome and organs harvested from children – it was also rumored that the queen ate a live mouse for brunch for the last 50 years – Hum Bug, the same scientists that said monkey puss could cure polio / safe and effective but later found in the majority of tumors – bugs are for rodents and serpents; I am a Human, not a beast of the field

  5. Well I’ve just been told that HAARP has in fact, as at 2018, been used to destroy 85%of the ozone layer so the radiations now entering earth are deadly Can cause cancer from just one hours exposure. Here one person dies from skin cancer every 4 hours approx 24/7/365.Already. And still ocean front home are the premium prices and its all hushed up.

    • GAMMA rays cosmic rays and nuclear damage to all matter NOT the HAARP it is only a infrared broadcast built by ARCO for natural gas transport within it`s forcefield.We damaged all matter at the atomic scale with our accidents and leaks and broadcsating and broadcasting in 5G and everywhere plus JETS patterns EVERYWHERE

  6. ALL INSECTS ARE ARTHROPODs with exoskeletons they are like eating rocks and people have died from obstructions of arthropod body parts.
