As if to underscore that claim a group of students from Mcgill University in Montreal has won the 2013 Hult Prize for producing a protein-rich flour made from insects.
The grasshoppers are known as rich sources of protein; some claim that the insects are more than 70 percent protein.
Researchers have noted that the gathering of Sphenarium grasshoppers is an attractive alternative to spraying pesticides in fields of alfalfa and other crops.
Termites generally consist of up to 38 percent protein and one particular Venezuelan species Syntermes aculeosus is 64 percent protein.

or grams of protein the workers would need to do hard labor using modern statistics. He adjusted for body size--ancient Egyptians were smaller than modern humans They needed to eat 67 grams of protein each day slightly more than
what is found in two Mcdonald's quarter pounders with cheese. If half the workers'protein came from meat each worker probably ate almost  six pounds of meat each week.
 He assumed half the protein came from meat some from Nile fish. Then he looked at the breeds of cattle found in ancient Egypt
and how much meat one could get from each animal to figure out how many animals would be required to provide the protein.
He said the 10000 workers at the site he studied in Giza consumed 105 cattle and 368 sheep or goats every 10 days.
Protein-rich food is often scarce and there are few taboos against eating nonhuman primates. New roads guns and cars also enable people to hunt gorillas
And whereas gorilla and monkey meat does provide protein for local people the fruit trees the primates maintain may be an even bigger economic benefit to people Olsson said.
Increasing fines and enforcement could help as would improving local populations'access to other protein-rich foods Lambert told Livescience.
Based on these experiments Atwater concluded that proteins and carbohydrates have about 4 calories per gram fats have 9 calories per gram

For example the almond study which also accounted for calories lost in feces suggested that some of the fat in whole almonds is locked away in a structure our bodies can't digest.
For proteins it's about 20 to 30 percent of the food's calories so if we eat 100 calories worth of protein we get about 80 calories from it Carmody said.
For fats it's much less about 0 to 3 percent she said. So if we eat 100 calories worth of fat we'd get 97 of those calories.
This month Carmody and colleagues will give a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston that will discuss ways in which to improve the system for calculating calories.
Does it really matter for waistlines? Some researchers say that on the whole theâ inaccuracies in calorie estimatesâ don't make a big difference.
It involves mathematical calculations of proteins carbohydrates and fats multiplied by algorithms developed by Atwater so-called Atwater factors.
 But the calculations may not give the right answer. Baer's lab for instance found this
 Baer thinks that the discrepancy happens because of the indigestible fiber in the nut cell walls traps the fat.
#Can Folic acid Prevent Autism? Women who take folic acid supplements before becoming pregnant as well as early in pregnancy may reduce the risk of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder according to a new study.
Researchers followed 85176 babies born between 2002 and 2008 for three to 10 years to determine
whether their mother's use of folic acid supplements influenced the risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder.
The researchers focused on women who had taken folic acid supplements for 4 weeks before they became pregnant until 8 weeks after the start of the pregnancy.
Women who had taken folic acid supplements in early pregnancy had a 40 percent reduced risk of having a child with autistic disorder than did had women who not taken the supplement.
At the study's start food in Norway was fortified not with folic acid A b vitamin so supplements were the women's only source of the nutrient.)
In 2002 43 percent of the women participating in the Moba study took folic acid supplements;
However many women started taking folic acid later than recommended and only half began before they became pregnant.
Folic acid is needed A b-vitamin for DNA synthesis and repair. It helps prevent neural tube defects including spina bifida in the developing fetus.
Folate the naturally occurring form of folic acid is found in green leafy vegetables peas lentils beans eggs yeast and liver.
 In the United states grain products such as cereal bread and flour are fortified with folic acid. Since it can be hard to obtain enough folate from food the March of Dimes recommends that all women of childbearing age get 400 micrograms of folic acid daily from a multivitamin.
Pregnant women should continue taking 400 mcg of folic acid through early pregnancy. Typically the neural tube closes 28 days after conception (gestational week six) according to the study researchers
and the development of basic brain structures occurs 15 to 56 days after conception (during gestational weeks five to 10.)
The new study only shows an association between the use of folic acid supplements and a lower risk of autistic disorder.
 Taking folic acid supplements during early pregnancy may reduce risk of autistic disorder. This story was provided by Myhealthnewsdaily a sister site to Livescience.
I've been on a diet high in proteins and low in carbohydrates for several weeks now
But I didn't feel quite right eating so many high-protein dishes while avoiding carb foods such as my favorite bread.
I don't think it's safe to lean in one direction at the diningroom table. 7 Foods You Can Overdose On For most healthy people a high-protein diet generally isn't harmful
However the risks of using a high-protein diet usually with carbohydrate restriction for the long term are still being studied.
if a high-protein diet is followed for an extended time. Here are some problems that can happen to people on a high-protein diet:
Some high-protein diets don't provide enough fiber. This can cause constipation and intestinal inflammation. This may also increase the risk for cancer.
Many of these diets include a lot of red meat and fat which can increase your risk of heart disease.
A protein-packed diet may cause liver or kidney problems. If you want to follow a high-protein diet do so only as a short-term weight-loss aid.
Also choose your protein wisely Zeratsky wrote on the Mayo Clinic website. She recommended eating fish skinless chicken lean beef pork and low-fat dairy products and carbohydrates that are high in fiber such as whole grains vegetables and fruit.
People with kidney disease liver disease or diabetes and those taking medication for a chronic health condition should talk to their doctor before starting a high-protein diet Zeratsky said.
The American Heart Association doesn't recommend high-protein diets for weight loss because people who stay on these diets very long may not get enough vitamins
and minerals and face other potential health risks according to the organization's website. The AHA also asserts that more research is needed on the effectiveness of these diets for long-term weight loss.
Most Americans already eat more protein than their bodies need. The AHA urges dieting adults to eat no more than 35 percent of total daily calories from fat less than 7 percent of total daily calories from saturated fat and less than 1 percent of total
daily calories from trans fat. Trans fat raises your bad (LDL) cholesterol and lowers your good (HDL) cholesterol.
On most high-protein diets meeting these AHA goals is impossible. The American Heart Association urges people to use safe and proven methods for losing
and maintaining weight. Dieters should pay attention to calories and enjoy healthy nutritionally balanced meals. The AHA says a healthy diet includes a variety of foods

Participants in the study who were exposed to cold also had less bad white fat at the end of the experiments Rosen told Livescience.
The avocado eaters also had higher intakes of total fat monounsaturated fat polyunsaturated fat dietary fiber Vitamin e magnesium potassium and Vitamin k along with a lower intake of carbohydrates.
Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat which has been associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Previous research elsewhere has found an estimated 19 percent reduction in the risk of coronary disease
when the intake of monounsaturated fat is increased by 5 percent the current researchers wrote. Â Avocado eaters also fared well in the weight department.
When researchers do this they also remove proteins that are essential to help cells divide Lanza said.

They can be nutritious with high fat protein vitamin fiber and mineral content although the nutritional value varies among species the report says.
And while eggs are high in cholesterol (186 milligrams 184 of them in the yolk) they're relatively low in saturated fat (1. 6 grams in the yolk.
In fact during my 20 years of counseling people with high cholesterol just reducing their saturated fat intake to a range of 4 percent to 7 percent of their calories causes their blood cholesterol levels
because the Japanese eat a diet low in saturated fat. Americans do just the opposite.
Research has shown that we usually have our eggs alongside foods high in saturated fat such as bacon sausage

Protein. Eggs are considered the gold standard that other proteins are measured against. Because of the superior amino acid mix an egg's six grams of protein are absorbed easily
and efficiently used by the body. The egg is also low-calorie (74 calories. Choline.
Yolks are one of the best sources of this essential nutrient. Choline is needed for brain development in a growing fetus
and zeaxanthin than greens these phytochemicals are more absorbable because of the presence of fat in the yolk.
Vitamin d. Eggs are one of the few natural sources of Vitamin d important for the bones and teeth.
Vitamin d aids the absorption of calcium which is important for the heart and colon as well.

and found that recommended intakes of full-fat milk products supply more of the major omega-3 fatty acid ALA than do recommended servings of fish.
In dairy products female hormones such as estrogen are found primarily in the fat. For women with breast cancer If you're consuming a lot of high-fat diary whole milk
or full-fat cheese it would be prudent to shift to lower-fat option said study researcher Candyce H. Kroenke a staff scientist at Kaiser permanente in Oakland Calif. Eating more low-fat dairy
Women in the study who ate more than one serving daily of low-fat dairy were no more likely to die than those who ate less than half a serving daily.
The researchers said their findings show that it was saturated fat from dairy products in particular rather than saturated fat in the diet in general that was linked with breast cancer survival.
But there's a fairly substantial amount of fat in it she said so it would be worthwhile to compare the effects of consuming it to consuming both lower-and higher-fat products.
