DESCRIPTION: Of all animals, the bodies of insects may have the lowest saturated fat content. A pound a day of powdered worms? There are safer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/safest-source-of-b12/) and cheaper (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cheapest-source-of-vitamin-b12/) sources of vitamin B12. What about arginine? Worms, whales, pork rinds and what else? See Fat Burning Via Arginine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fat-burning-via-arginine/). Sourcing protein from plants may still be preferable (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-protein-preferable/), despite what the paleo diet folks assert (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleolithic-lessons/). That appears to be the direction the American space program is going (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304388004577532952720962114.html?mod=googlenews_wsj#slide/1). What are the downsides to eating insects, though? That's the subject of tomorrow's video-of-the-day Bug Appétit: Barriers to Entomophagy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bug-appetit-barriers-to-entomophagy/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/good-grub-the-healthiest-meat/ and he'll try to answer it!
