I just realized there's a silkworm enzyme that has been clearing arterial plaque in European and Japanese clinics for 30 years, and nobody in the US seems to know it exists.
I call it the nattokinase's cousin.

As a byproduct of the silk industry, silkworm pupae are a protein-rich resource that can be incorporated into feed for farmed fish. A new study finds silkworm meal leads to improved growth and health in farmed tilapia compared to traditional fishmeal. entomologytoday.org/2025/06/…

The @EU_Commission published yesterday a 'New ♻️ #CircularEconomy Action Plan' - an important element of the European #GreenDeal.
In line with the waste hierarchy, #insect farming has the potential to revalorise a significant share of agri-food by-products...
