They are also harmless. Though the idea of swallowing a fly might gross many people out, or perhaps worry the most germ-a-phobic, they will not cause your body any arm. German researches have shown that alcohol, in moderation, can kill germs.
Doctors have found a link between aging-related protein functions in humans and fruit flies. A study led by Michael Karin, a UCSD professor showed that fruit flies have a similar health problems with aging as humans do. "The research could eventually lead to drugs to slow age-related degeneration."
So, before you waste the alcohol and upset your bartender by sending back your full drink, just look at it this way: it's more protein, and it very well might keep you younger.
Awesome!
