Cockroach milk could be the next non-dairy fad 

The creepy cockroaches are set to become latest fad among the Australians, particularly the mindful-eaters who dare to opt for dairy products. A researcher from the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in India claims that cockroach crystals, which contain the milk, 'are like a complete food' with 'all the essential amino acids'. Moreover, cockroach milk tastes 'like cow's milk', researchers stated in the Daily Mail report.
However, the consumption of cockroach milk is not entirely new and there are several celebrities who include critters in their diet. Hollywood actor Gwyneth Paltrow's food and lifestyle website Goop included roaches in their animal milk guide.
 The milk found from the Australian native Pacific beetle cockroach contains all essential amino acids, plus proteins, fats, and sugars and three times the energy of dairy milk, the 2016 study found.
Sharing his experience, another researcher told US National Public Radio that he tried the milk and it tasted no different from cow's milk.
But the study has surprised many who are left in disbelief that cockroach produce milk.
However, there is only the Diploptera Punctata species of roach that gives birth to living offspring and not lay eggs, and produces milk to feed their young. But as the creepy critters are tiny, it could take 1,000 cockroaches to make 100 grams of milk, science news website Inverse reported.
"The only way [to milk a cockroach] would be to make cultures of yeast with the genes in it for making this milk," said Barbara Stay, Ph.D. from the University of Iowa, adding that the roaches be 'milked' with filter paper.
