Bugs May be More nutritious than beef United press International mexican University researchers say they Are developing insects that taste like nuts Fried in Butler pork and shrimp to help relieve tha country s High Rale of malnutrition and become a source of Export Revenue. Julieta Ramos and Javier Caballero researchers in the biology department Al the National autonomous University of Mexico said recently they have indent fled 2,346 potential nutritious types of insects in the country including the termite whose caloric value is quadruple that of the researchers said residents of 24 of the 32 mexican states suffer High Rales of in part because heir Dally animal protein consumption is Only 3-5 Grams while the amount recommended by the world health organization is 60 Grams Ramos and Caballero said numerous insects have the potential to fulfil the minimum daily requirement of animal protein and said they Are studying mass cultivation of insects including the possibility of raising Large amounts of ants and caterpillars in indoor farms. Part of the ancient mixtec and zapotec Indian diet insects have Long been a delicacy in the Southern states of Oaxaca Guerrero and Chiapas. Some residents in those slates today eat such insects As caterpillars ants and Grasshoppers with Corn tortillas hot Pepper sauce and Lemon. Cheese and earthworm enchiladas however have yet to catch on in the capital and other Large mexican cities. Nutrition is generally reflected by tha socioeconomic situation by cultural habits and the biases and taboos of the people Caballero said. Nutritional conceptions vary Between Urban and Rural populations the former is usually the first to be repulsed by the idea of eating insects while the latter has traditionally eaten insects and even commercialized tha researchers recommended insects be slowly introduced to the Urban currently caterpillars Are Selling in some Rural areas for 29,500 pesos $2570 per Pound Cactus Worms for 11,400 pesos $9.90 per Pound and Grasshoppers at 5,500 pesos $4,75 per Pound which when cooked have a flavor Simitar to nuts Fried in butter pork and shrimp respectively the researchers said. They also said a Pound of such insects could fulfil the protein needs of a Large lamely for several Days. Ramos called mexican insect exports workable saying thai some species Are already canned and sold in the United Stales France Japan and Belgium another group of National University researchers announced recently they Are raising a new Breed of bovines called Micro cows measuring no More than z feet from Hoof to head and capable of producing 3 quarts of milk per Day. The researchers said the Micro cows would help meet the country s nutritional needs and that one Day mexicans would be Able to keep the animals in the Terrace of an apartment feeding them Kitchen scraps " while they provide the family s daily milk needs. Someone in danger but sudden spontaneous clusters that May strike no matter How innocuous the place How trustworthy the people nearby. Doctors say panic attacks Are the fight or Light instinct run wild. They usually last Only a few seconds and Peak quickly. But they can be so terrifying that sufferers will do almost anything to avoid them. Anticipating the next attack can be As bad As the panic itself. Panic disorder and simple phobias irrational ears of such things As Hying snakes or Heights Are often accompanied by panic. The other anxiety states Are not. The first breakthrough in anxiety research come in the mid-16603 when or. Feins Pius of the University of Southern California reported that a natural body chemical sodium lactate was intricately bound up in panic attacks. When it was infused experimentally into a panic sufferer s veins it triggered near palpitations sweat beads and runaway horror. Later or. Donald Klein of Columbia University showed that the More Taulalo a subject received the longer his anxiety attack lasted. Item Lound that lactate induced panic attacks could be quelled with an anti depressant called Isipra Norta the sooner ins drug was introduced the More quickly the attack subsided so enlists however Are still trying to determine Why the drugs work. There Are two theories much of in based on new research into the fundamental biochemical structural and behavioural underpinnings of anxiety disorders. Researchers for example have found hat abnormal anxiety is tied to the action of a brain chemical called Gaba. Which Fine tunes the firing of nerves in the brain. Or. Philip Ninan of Allan a s Emory University likens the chemical s action o the tuner on a radio designed to eliminate background noise and to ensure a Clear signal. In the brain Gaba shuts Down some nerve cells so others have an Opportunity to fire. But in people with anxiety disorders the Gaba system tails to eliminate extraneous signals. Anxiety results when a class of brain chemicals Gaba blockers Stop Gaba irom reaching other cells and regulating their actions. Ninan says Ranqui Livors help bring Dawn the signal to noise those suffering irom panic disorder also May suffer Tram metabolic abnormalities of a brain. Or. Marc Roi chlo. A neurologist Al Washington University in is Louis also has found that in some panic victims a portion of the a rent Udor Ottha brain called the gyms seems to work overtime and to Woik Las Lar than its couple Parl on the tuesday april 28. 1987 other Side of the brain.
