there are risks to eating insects that have not been farmed with the correct biosecurity measures in place, and these risks are potentially dangerous to human and animal health.

I'm sure the fake media will hide this and say they're safe and effective. Just like the EPA did with the dioxin poisions.

concerns are growing over whether the planet’s finite resources such as agricultural land can meet the food needs of so many people.

That takes care of itself automatically. There's no need to do anything. Nature has already taken this into consideration. Oh, right, we don't like anything natural. We must sell a solution. Never mind.

insects might carry biological and chemical contaminants as well as physical hazards that can be detrimental to the health of consumers.

insects can be vectors for various micro-organisms that are detrimental to human and animal health, especially under poorly controlled hygienic conditions.

Aren't these features?

this topic requires greater research to clarify the potential risks for food and feed.

Let's put pfizer's research team right on this. They'll have a definitive answer right away without pesky long trials or anything.

it is important for insect farms to have strong biosecurity measures in place and prevent contact with livestock animals.

Absolutely not! That's expensive and time consuming. We need to save the earth now. Rather, we'll bypass this by declaring emergency authorization measures.

Spanish media publishes research on serious injuries caused by eating insects.

"A ULE study concludes that eating insects entails health risks".

A research team from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of León (ULe) has concluded that "consumption of insects also poses health risks" and that "more research is required" before normalizing their inclusion in the food chain.

"The fact that insects are cheaper to produce than farm animals promises good business opportunities. However, it's not only good news when it comes to eating insects, as their consumption poses a number of potential health risks," warns one of the researcher.

The research points to anti-nutritional substances and toxins like kitin, the main material that makes up the exoskeleton of kidneys. Another example is tannins, which form insoluble complexes of proteins and reduce their bioavailable.

Also phytates and oxalates, chelatforms that reduce the absorption of minerals such as calcium, zinc, manganese, iron and magnesium.

In addition, saponins disrupt protein digestion, disrupt the intake of vitamins and minerals and are associated with hypoglycemia.

In addition, the study indicates that alkaloids in certain doses can be toxic to consumers and that some insects and consumption can cause thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency.

He also points out the risk of cryptotoxic insects, "consumption should be avoided, because they contain steroid hormones such as testosterone, which can be found in some small bugs".

"Continued consumption of these insects can lead to growth disorders, hypofertility, male fertility in women, edema, jaundice and liver cancer," he warns.

Other compounds found in cryptotoxic insects are cyanogenic glycosides (in some butterflies), which inhibit certain vital enzymes, while Toluol, a poison that attacks the brain, liver and kidneys, is found in syllitus cerambycides and necrotoxic alkaloids in some ant species.

Another danger associated with ingestion of insects of unknown size involves allergies, as many joints can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals primarily caused by tropomyosin, argininkinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, or hemocyanin. chitin is very bad for children we are europeans not reptiles.
