TIDBITS® DRINKS COFFEE
Investment Centers of America, Inc. (ICA), member FINRA/SIPC
by Janet Spencer On November 29, 1942, coffee become one of the items rationed due to war time shortages. It remained rationed until June of 1947. Come along with Tidbits as we drink coffee! RATIONS • Coffee wasn’t in short supply when it was rationed. In fact, there was record coffee production in Latin American countries at the time. However, the growing demand for coffee from both military and civilian sources, and the demands placed on shipping, which was needed for other purposes, required rationing. Shortages were rarely the reason for rationing during the war. Rationing was generally employed either to guarantee fair distribution of resources and foodstuffs to all citizens or to give priority to military use for certain materials. About one-third of all food commonly consumed by civilians was rationed at one time or another during the war, including butter, sugar, milk, and gasoline. REPEAT AFTER ME: • In Arabic, the phrase ‘qahhwat al-bun’ meant ‘wine of the bean.’ That was shortened to ‘qahwa’ which the Turks pronounced ‘kahve’ which was borrowed by the Dutch as ‘koffie’ which was turned into the English ‘coffee.’

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D. Does Limiting Sugar Include Fruit? DEAR DR. ROACH: Medical advice is to reduce sugar consumption. Does this apply to 100 percent fruit juices, fresh fruit, sweetened cereal products or other fruit-sweetened products? -- R.B. ANSWER: I think it makes sense to limit sugar intake, as most North Americans take in remarkably large quantities of sugar. Recently, while giving a lecture at the medical school, I noticed that the carbonated sodas served contained 45 grams of added sugar per can. That’s more than the American Heart Association recommends in a day (no more than 25 grams of added sugar per day for women, 40 grams a day for men)! Be careful of products that claim to be sweetened by fruit juice or fruit sugar; this still counts as added sugar. I do make an exception for fruits, as the body processes natural sugars from fruit differently. You can try this out at home by eating four medium-size oranges or drinking its equivalent in an 8-ounce (250 ml) glass of orange juice. I think you will find a big difference in how full you feel. Although reducing sugar is critical for diabetics and is very important for anyone trying to lose weight, even for people with no sugar or weight problems, the evidence is accumulating that eating too much added sugar increases future risk for heart disease and diabetes. Diabetes has become epidemic in North America. The booklet on it provides insight on its diagnosis and treatment.

CAFFEINE • Caffeine is found naturally not only in coffee and tea but also in about 100 other plants. Caffeine acts as a natural insecticide. It can kill insects, stunt their growth, impair their coordination, or ruin their reproduction capabilities. • A typical cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 115 mg of caffeine. The same size cup of espresso delivers about 250 mg of caffeine. That’s why espresso is served in such tiny cups. Percolated coffee has slightly less caffeine than drip coffee. Decaffeinated coffee does not mean the coffee is caffeinefree. Brewed decaf has about 5 mg of caffeine. A typical cup of truck stop coffee will usually contain more caffeine than an expensive cup of designer coffee. That’s because the less expensive robusta beans from which inexpensive coffee is made are higher in caffeine than the more expensive arabica beans used in specialty coffee. • Methylene chloride is the chemical used to remove caffeine from coffee beans. The chemical is poisonous when inhaled, but because it evaporates at 120°f (49°C), it dissipates when the beans are roasted at 400°f. (204°C). Any remnants still in the beans are rendered harmless by brewing the coffee at a temperature around 200°f. (93°C) • Coffee increases alertness and enhances performance on certain tasks. Tests on drivers and typists prove that two cups of coffee can help. However, research shows it helps most if the drinker is bored or fatigued. It only boosts intellectual speed and not physical power. Furthermore, coffee seems to help extroverts more than it helps introverts. Studies show that people respond more to the caffeine they think they’ve consumed more than they respond to the amount of caffeine that they’ve actually consumed.

HEALTH BENEFITS • Those who regularly drink alcohol are 20% less likely to develop cirrhosis of the liver if they drink at least one cup of coffee per day. • People who consume caffeine are less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease, and for those who have already developed Parkinson’s, it may help them control their movement. • Drinking two to four cups of coffee daily can reduce the risk of suicide by about 50%. The theoretical reason is because coffee acts as a mild antidepressant by aiding in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. • Women who drink three or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to develop skin cancer than those who don’t. • People who drink four or more cups of coffee a day reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes by 50%. • People older than 65 who had higher blood levels of caffeine developed Alzheimer’s disease two to four years later than others with lower caffeine levels. • According to a study, nothing else comes close to providing as many antioxidants as coffee. While fruits and vegetables also have tons of antioxidants, the human body seems to absorb the most from coffee. HOWEVER… • Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee at the same time raises the blood pressure. The combination of caffeine and nicotine also stops the effects of many high-blood pressure medicaComplimentary with Orientation Visit tions. This spells danger for those whose blood pressure is already too high. • Birth defects are possible if a pregnant woman drinks more than eight cups a day during the pregnancy. Doctors still recommend that pregnant woman avoid all caffeine. We design clinical nutrition for chronic illness! FAST FACTS & QUICK BITS • Hawaii is the only state that grows coffee. • 40% of the world’s coffee comes from Brazil and Columbia. • Coffee beans are actually the pit of a berry, which makes them a fruit. • The first webcam was invented at the University of Cambridge to let people know if the coffee pot was full or not. • A cup of Starbucks exists in every scene of the movie “Fight Club.” • The average American consumes about 200 mg of caffeine a day. (A typical cup has between 95 and 200 mg of caffeine.) • 31% of coffee drinkers brew a cup first thing every morning. 65% of coffee consumption takes place during breakfast hours. • Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day, making the U.S. the leading consumer of coffee. The U.S. imports more than $4 billion worth of coffee each year. • The cappuccino machine was perfected in 1946 by an Italian named Achille Gaggia. The name cappuccino comes from the resemblance of the color of the liquid to the color of the robes of the monks of the Capuchin order. THE BENT SPOON • Joe Brown was a great comic of the depression era. In the film “Elmer the Great” one gag involved a cup of coffee. He was trying to drink it while his spoon was still in the cup. Every time he lifted the cup to his lips, the spoon slipped and hit him in the eye. After half a dozen times, Brown took the spoon out of the cup, bent the handle, then replaced the bent spoon in the cup, solving the problem. Brown received hundreds of letters from angry mothers complaining that their kids bent every spoon in the house after seeing that scene.

For Advertising Call (307) 655-5095 TIM HORTON • Miles Gilbert “Tim” Horton was born in 1930 in Cochrane, Ontario. He was playing hockey by the time he was five years old. In 1948 he moved to Toronto to play junior hockey and two years later he turned pro, playing for a variety of teams before signing with the Leafs, where he remained until 1970. Horton won four Stanley Cups and was named NHL First Team All-Star three times. Between February 1961 and 1968, Horton appeared in 486 consecutive regular-season games, a run that remained the Leafs club record until 2007. • Tim Horton experimented with a couple of businesses on the side, first running a hamburger stand and then opening a car dealership. But in 1964 he hit pay dirt when he opened a donut shop in Hamilton, Ontario, on Ottawa Street. Soon after Horton opened the store, he met Ron Joyce, a former Hamilton police constable. In 1965, Joyce took over the fledgling Tim Horton Donut Shop. By 1967, after he had opened up two more stores, he and Tim Horton became full partners in the business. Joyce worked aggressively to expand the franchise. • Upon Horton’s death, Ron Joyce bought out the Horton family’s shares for $1 million and took over as sole owner of the existing chain of 40 stores. By 1991, Joyce had opened the 500th outlet. Tim Hortons franchises spread rapidly and eventually overtook McDonald’s as Canada’s largest food service operator. The rapid expansion of the chain drove many independent donut shops out of business, while Canada’s per-capita ratio of donut shops surpassed those of all other countries. • As of 2013, Tim Hortons had 4,304 outlets, including 3,588 in Canada, and 859 in the U.S. The company holds 25% of the Canadian fast-food market, 62% of the coffee market (compared to Starbucks, in the #2 position, at 7%) and more than 75% of the baked goods market. Half of all bagels sold in Canada are sold through Tim Hortons. • On average, stores offer 20 different kinds of donuts along with a lunch menu including soups and sandwiches. However, 60% of their sales occur in the morning, and of that more than 50% is coffee. • Despite having a population of just 64,128, the city of Moncton, NB, has a staggering 22 Tim Hortons franchises. That equates to 1 restaurant for every 2,915 residents. Nationwide, the ratio of Tim Hortons to Canadian citizens is 1 to 15,000. • Its location in Iqaluit on the southern coast of Baffin Island is the northernmost store. • Ron Joyce’s son married Tim Horton’s daughter, returning the Horton family to the company.

Dog and Cat Shelter
Why Does Dog Chase Its Tail? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Our dog “Jimbo” recently took to chasing his tail. He does it in the living room, and he does it when I take him outside. Often he’ll snap at the base of his tail. It stops for a few hours, and then he’s back at it. I’ve looked, and I can’t see any fleas or anything. What causes this? -- Dale in Charlotte, N.C. DEAR DALE: There are several possibilities as to why Jimbo keeps chasing his tail. While it’s true that almost all dogs do this occasionally, frequent tail-chasing signals that something else is going on. The most common cause, as you were thinking, is itching or other irritation in a spot on a dog’s hindquarters that is hard for it to reach. A flea or tick infestation certainly can set if off, but since you didn’t find evidence of fleas (such as flea dust -- tiny black specks that are basically flea droppings -- deep in Jimbo’s fur) or ticks, the mystery gets deeper. Another possibility is some kind of allergic reaction. He could be experiencing anxiety. Or, he could have an underlying health problem, such as an infection. Take Jimbo to the vet first to rule out any serious problems. If a cause isn’t found, the vet likely will recommend a medication -- either an antihistamine to calm allergic itching or an anti-anxiety medication, or both. If these help your dog, then you’re halfway to finding a cause. Observe Jimbo more closely. Where does he hang out during the day? Are there certain places where he likes to walk or romp outside? Does he begin exhibiting the behavior after the same event or the same feeding time? Look for patterns and behavior triggers, and you can begin working forward to calm his tail-chasing.

COFFEE: QUIZ • Ludwig Roselius had a father who was a professional coffee taster in Germany in the 1800s. His father died young. Ludwig thought his father’s death was due to ingesting too much caffeine. At the time, the process of decaffeinating coffee made it lose most of its flavor. • Ludwig opened a coffee business of his own, and in 1903 a ship filled with coffee beans destined for his store flooded and the entire load was soaked with seawater. Ludwig gave this ruined coffee to his researchers, asking them to experiment with decaffeination. Surprisingly, they found that the soaked beans were easy to decaffeinate. The key was to raise the moisture content of the beans before subjecting them to the chemical process. • Ludwig patented the process and moved to America in 1914, setting up a coffee trading company called Kaffe-HAG, with HAG being an acronym for the German words meaning Coffee Trading Company. When World War I began, his business was seized under the U.S. Alien Property Custodian Act and handed over to Americans. Ludwig lost everything, including the trademarked name of his coffee. • He set up a new business, marketing his coffee in Europe until the war ended. He needed a new name for his coffee so he chose a contraction of the French words ‘sans caffeine’ meaning ‘without caffeine.’ • He returned to America in 1923, and nine years later General Foods bought him out. Meanwhile, the company that he lost during the war went out of business. • The modern decaffeination process is still based on his accidental discovery, and his company was purchased by Kraft foods. What is it called? Roselius’ decaffeinated coffee is Sanka. MOBY DICK’S BLEND • In Seattle in 1971, three friends got together and opened a specialty shop selling coffee beans and coffee-making equipment. One of the partners was a writer who loved the book “Moby Dick.” He wanted to name the business after the ship in that book, the “Pequod,” but another partner objected, saying nobody would want to drink a cup of PEE-quod. Instead, they named the company after Captain Ahab’s first mate. • In 1982 they hired Howard Schultz to be their director of marketing. Howard took a trip to Milan, Italy, where he saw Italians sipping espresso. He loved coffee himself, and he immediately understood the attraction of espresso. When he returned home, he suggested to his bosses that instead of selling just coffee beans and equipment to their customers, they should also sell coffee drinks, including espresso. • His bosses dismissed the idea, preferring to keep the focus of the company on the sale of coffee beans. They felt coffee was meant to be prepared in the home and not in a shop. • Howard subsequently left them and started up his own coffee shop, selling coffee drinks. In 1987 his former bosses sold him their coffee bean company. By now Howard had mastered the coffee shop business and he began a period of phenomenally speedy expansion until it became the largest coffeehouse chain in the world, with some 16,000 stores in 49 countries around the world. It’s still named after Captain Ahab’s first mate in the book “Moby Dick.” What’s it called? The coffee chain is called Starbucks. FINAL FACT • Black coffee contains no calories.
