Evaluation of different foodstuffs

I thought this might interest people:

One must of course allow for guppies being small omnivores, and for the fact that many popular foods are missing from the study, but still the results are interesting, no?

Part of the result is common-sensical (e.g. a varied diet is better than the best single food; frozen food is more nutritious than freeze dried), but some of the results surprised at least me, notably that whiteworms scored so very low and beefheart so very high.
Personally I'm a bit wary of the result for beefheart, due to some bad personal experiences.
