Happy silly season!

There's plenty of evidence that fermented foods are good for the microbiome. Beer is fermented BUT most of it (including TsingTao, that seems to have sponsored that study) is pasteurized. Bottles and cans of unpasteurized beer explode if you don't consume it right away. The pasteurized stuff bubbles when you pour because it's been pressurized, and some of that gas has gone into solution; the bubbles come out when the pressure is reduced.

I have to wonder if they were studying non-pasteurized beer or if any effect might have been coming from the maltose.

As far as people eating insects, I suspect what's going to happen is that farmed crickets end up getting fed to farmed fish - or cricket powder becomes some kind of input for animal products we in turn consume. Just thinking it through...
