Smoking â Tobacco use is one of the major risk factors for cancer of the pancreas. It is believed that those who smoke are twice as likely to get the disease. Obesity â As we know, obesity is a strong risk factor for many diseases, not just cancer.
The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silk moth, Bombyx mori (Latin: silkworm of the mulberry tree). It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food is white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even osage orange. Domestic silk moths are closely dependent on humans for reproduction, as a result of millennia of selective breeding.
They will eat oatmeal, cornmeal and other grains crushed into meal such as wheat and milo. In the wild, they eat fungus, seeds and decaying plants, but captive mealworms often eat dog or cat food, old cereal, chicken food, birdseed, flour, fruits and vegetables. They are mostly vegetarians, but sometimes they also eat each other, especially if conditions are poor or if they are overcrowded.
