cannot eat frogs and ants

assalamualaikum.

many have this question when it comes to eating frogs and ants. some say that frogs and ants have their own nutritions too that make them safe to eat, somehow improve people's health too. but still, we can obtain the proteins required from other animals like fishes and meats.

fishes have more good proteins for brain growth.

take a look at what wikipedia says about frogs and ants. frogs contain a lot of toxins inside their body, obviously human immune system cannot tolerate with those harmful toxins. of course the frogs can tolerate with these toxins because they need the toxins to eat. moreover, somehow their toxins must be more powerful than insects' toxins so that they can paralyse their prey to eat.

ants have their toxins too. these toxins are very useful to fight against other intruders who like to steal their food, like wasps. toxins are also used to mark their path when finding food so that other ants will go back to their nest safely with food without being lost.

so, frogs already have their toxins, and their toxins can double up when they eat ants. moreover, ants are acidic. those who had accidentally eaten red ants will know that ants are spicy and somewhat sour. that shows ants have a high percentage of acid in their body. too much acid consumed can make people to become absent-minded.

now frogs have double percentage (or more) of acid substances and toxins.

when we muslims are not allowed to eat these kind of animals, do not just accept it without doing some research that can support the statement. so this is the truth that lies behind the banning of frogs and ants as food for muslims.
