TIDBITSÂŽ EATS ORANGES
by Janet Spencer On February 16, 1957, the first ship to transport orange juice in stainless steel tanks left Port Canaveral, Florida. Come along with Tidbits as we appreciate oranges! ORANGE HISTORY • Most types of citrus originated in southeastern Asia and India. Many modern varieties were developed in China and Malaysia and transplanted across Asia and Europe. • California used to be the top orange producing state, but Florida surpassed California in 1942 and now produces three times as many oranges as California. (The average differ-ence in rainfall between Florida and Califor-nia amounts to an extra 1,140,000 gallons per acre falling on Florida.) Floridians call them orange groves, but Californians call them or-ange orchards. • Brazil is the world’s leading orange producer, with an output almost as high as that of the next three countries combined. Almost 99% of the fruit is processed for export. The Unit-ed States is the second largest producer, fol-lowed by India, China, Mexico, and Spain. • The total weight of citrus fruit produced in the U.S. each year is greater than that of any other fruit tree in the U.S. • 98% of Florida oranges are harvested by hand. Over 100,000 people in Florida are employed in the citrus industry. turn the page for more!

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Sleep Medications Linked to Falls --DEAR DR. ROACH: You’ve discussed sleep aids and your belief that it is best to get off all of this type of medication. I am healthy, 75 (take no meds), exercise with weights, do swimming and running regularly, and since 2007 have been taking an over-the-counter sleep aid called doxylamine nightly with no apparent side effects. Do you see a problem with continuing? -- A.B. ANSWER: Unfortunately, I do see a problem. Odds are that you won’t have a problem taking this medication; it’s cheap and is effective for you. However, there is unequivocal, abundant, incontrovertible evidence that antihistamines like doxylamine or diphenhydramine increase fall risk. If you drive, they increase accident risk. They also can cause confusion. Although the benefit to you from quitting is small, if I can get enough people to minimize their sleep medications, I know I will prevent some falls. Falls are so often the first step in a progression from health to disability that I want to do all I can to prevent them. Adequate lighting in the house at nighttime, especially between the bedroom and bathroom, avoiding obstructions like area rugs and the addition of stairway railings and tub grab bars all help reduce fall risk. Exercise programs -- like the kind you are doing, but also tai chi -- are great at preventing falls. So is getting your eyes checked. No single one of these interventions can prevent all falls. All of them together will prevent many. Your medication list, even a simple over-the-counter sleeping aid, is the best place to start looking to reduce risk of falls. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: My dad has an extreme case of COPD and is on oxygen. He gets winded just walking across the house. Dad lives in Montana; I live in Florida and would like him to come visit me during the cold Montana winters. I have heard that it would be easier for him to breathe at a lower altitude. But people have told him that if he comes to Florida, he would never be able to go back to Montana because he wouldn’t be used to the altitude any longer. Is this true? -- D.W. ANSWER: The lower oxygen levels at high altitude, like some cities in Montana, can be a real problem for people with any kind of chronic lung disease. In those cases, supplemental oxygen or a lower altitude can make people feel better and even live longer. Given that your dad is already on oxygen, a lower altitude would be similar to dialing up the oxygen a bit. He may certainly prefer Florida’s winters to Montana’s. We begin to be accustomed to high altitude in a few days, but full acclimatization takes weeks. Your dad will be able to return home after his visit. The booklet on COPD explains both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, the two elements of COPD, in detail.

WORD ORIGINS • The Sanskrit word ‘naranga’ meaning ‘fragrant’ passed into French, where the word ‘or’ means ‘gold.’ From there it became ‘orange’ meaning ‘gold and fragrant. ’ • The Cedars of Lebanon had round, hard orange-colored cones (like pine cones), and the word for cedar was ‘citron.’ When a new fruit showed up that resembled them, it too was dubbed ‘citron.’ This is the origin of the word ‘citrus’ which actually means ‘cedar.’ • Tangerines are a variety of citrus which first appeared in Tangier, a city in Morocco. (A person from Tangier is also called a Tangerine.) Mandarin oranges originated in China, where they speak Mandarin. Clementines may be named after Father Clement Rodier who hybridized them in an orchard in Algeria. ORANGE TREES • All citrus trees graft very easily so it’s easy to have oranges growing from a lemon rootstock, or lemons growing from an orange rootstock. In fact, a single citrus tree can have numerous grafts so that it bears lemons, limes, grapefruit, tangerines, kumquats, and oranges all on the same tree at the same time. • During cold snaps, owners of orange groves will sometimes spray their trees with water in order to form ice. The trees will die if the temperature drops to 24F (-4C), but with a layer of ice, the temperature stays at 32F (0C) if the wind is calm and conditions are right. • The lifespan of a typical orange tree is about 40 years, but there’s one tree in Europe that was planted in 1421 that lived until the year 1894 and survived several transplants. Some trees in Florida are more than a century old. • Citrus trees are evergreen. An orange tree seedling doesn’t start to bear fruit until it’s about 15 years old. Grafting new shoots to old roots makes orange production much faster. • You can’t pick an orange when it’s wet because moisture causes the skin to tighten which makes it very fragile. Orange picking has to wait until the dew dries in the morning and until after the sun has come out following rainstorms. • Oranges have a natural wax which protects the fruit from dehydration. During processing, the wax is washed off as the fruit is cleaned. Therefore, an artificial (and edible) wax is applied to the skin of the orange before it leaves the processing plant. Too much wax and the orange suffocates. Too little and it shrivels due to dehydration. • An orange will last about a month after being picked. An orange will not continue to ripen after it is picked.

FRUIT FACTS • Oranges that grow high on the tree are sweeter than those that grow on the lower branches. Oranges that grow on the outside branches are sweeter than those growing on inside branches. Oranges growing on the south side of the tree are sweeter than those on the north side of the tree. • The same is true about the amount of juice in an orange, and the amount of vitamin C it contains. Within a single orange, the blossom end will always be sweeter than the stem end. California oranges, where the climate is arid, have thicker skins than Florida oranges, where the climate is wet. • Green oranges are just as sweet as orange oranges, and oranges only turn orange when the weather turns cold. Oranges that have turned orange in the cold weather will revert to green again if the weather warms up once more. In many areas, such as Thailand, all oranges remain green constantly and never turn orange at all. • A single orange provides about two-thirds of your daily requirement of vitamin C. GETTING GASSED • To change the color of a green orange, the fruit is placed in air-tight containers and then surrounded by ethylene gas for up to four days. Ethylene gas is a natural substance that is given off when fruits and vegetables ripen. The gas eliminates the chlorophyll in the skin, allowing the orange pigment to show through. This is the same process by which a green leaf turns orange in the fall as chlorophyll production tapers off with cold weather. • The use of ethylene gas was first discovered when Californians noticed that oranges kept in a room where a kerosene stove was being used turned orange very quickly. At first they assumed it was the heat, so packinghouses began ‘ripening’ their oranges in heated rooms, which only served to dehydrate the fruit. Eventually it was discovered that it was the ethylene gas produced in the combustion of kerosene which was actually affecting the color of the oranges. JUICE • The search for an orange juice concentrate began during World War II when soldiers needed nutritious drinks in the field. The process of concentrating the juice was finally perfected in 1948. Today, about 96 percent of Florida’s oranges are processed into juice. • The majority of California’s crop is sold as fresh fruit, whereas Florida’s oranges become juice products. • 53% of total global frozen concentrated orange juice production comes from Brazil. • Orange juice squeezed at home will begin to turn bitter within hours because it reacts with oxygen. Orange juice squeezed in a factory is pasteurized which helps prevent this. • When Citrus Hill decided to call their orange juice “Fresh Choice,” the FDA seized 2,000 cases because the label, reading “Citrus Hill Fresh Choice Orange Juice” led people to believe the juice was fresh when it was not.

When You Can’t Afford a Pet --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve always wanted to own a dog, but financially I just don’t feel I can afford one right now. It makes me feel guilty that I can’t just adopt a dog and care for it. Should I really feel this bad? -- Harry in Trenton, New Jersey
ORANGE JULIUS • In 1926 Julius Freed decided he wanted to open an orange juice stand in Los Angeles. Real estate broker Bill Hamlin helped him find a location for his stand downtown. Julius and Bill subsequently became friends. • Julius didn’t do badly, but he thought there was room for improvement. Bill had a sensitive stomach and the acid in the orange juice bothered him. Bill also happened to be a chemist, so be began experimenting with orange juice recipes. • One day he presented Julius with a recipe that mixed orange juice, ice, and milk in a blender for a creamier, smoother, more interesting drink than just plain orange juice. • When Julius began selling it, his income jumped, rising from an average of $20 a day ($266 in today’s money) to $100 a day ($1,333). Because people in line at his stand would call out, “Give me an orange, Julius!” he named the new drink after himself: Orange Julius. • Soon Julius Freed began franchising his operations, assisted by Bill Hamlin who quit his job in real estate and focused on opening Orange Julius stores across the United States. Within three years they had opened 100 stores and the profits for the system, whose only product was a 10-cent drink, approached $3 million. As shopping malls began expanding across America, so did the Orange Julius franchises. • In 1964, the Orange Julius was named the official drink of the New York World’s Fair. According to the Orange Julius website, the drink was also subsequently named the official drink of Intergalactic Fair in Andromeda Galaxy in 1965, although those reports remain unconfirmed. • In 1965 Johnny Carson was granted a lifetime pass to every Orange Julius restaurant outlet in the country. Astronaut Alan Shepard was given a similar pass the following year. • It has been widely reported that in his spare time, Julius also invented an inflatable shrimp trap and a portable pigeon shower for cleaning racing pigeons, which was one of his hobbies. However, others insist this information is untrue. • By the time Dairy Queen bought the business in 1987, there were Orange Julius stores throughout the U.S. and Canada, selling a variety of fruit smoothies along with the original orange drink, which has changed little since its invention. • Today Orange Julius has more than thousands of stand-alone stores, as well as combination Dairy Queen / Orange Julius locations in the U.S., plus locations in Canada and other international markets. Both Orange Julius and Dairy Queen are currently owned by a multi-national conglomerate called Berkshire Hathaway, whose CEO is billionaire Warren Buffet. • Here’s the recipe if you want to make a drink similar to the Orange Julius at home: 1 1/4 cup orange juice 1 cup water 3 tablespoons egg white 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup ice Blend all ingredients except ice in blender. When sugar is dissolved, add ice and blend until creamy. You can vary the recipe by adding milk, cream, yogurt, ice cream, whole eggs, or bananas.
DEAR HARRY: I think you’re taking a very responsible attitude toward pet ownership. Instead of running out and getting a dog, you sat back and asked yourself if you could afford it. And that’s important, along with questions like, do you have the time to spend with a dog, is your family or roommate in agreement about owning a pet, and are you allowed to keep one in your apartment. But you can help make the world a better place even if you aren’t able to keep a pet. I encourage you to contact a local shelter to see if it accepts volunteers. Many need unpaid volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, from paperwork to cleaning cages and play areas. Some have enough people on site to handle all the work, so don’t be too disappointed if you’re not needed. Look for other opportunities instead. Sign up for classes that train you how to care for pets in a shelter. Research pet charities, and give a small percentage of your paycheck to one. Or, if you can’t spare even a couple of dollars a month, become a fundraiser ... from phone campaigns to waggy walks, you can help a pet-care organization raise thousands of dollars. Cash is what many shelters desperately need to keep caring for abandoned pets. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
LEMONS • Christopher Columbus introduced citrus trees to the island of Haiti in 1493 during his second voyage. • The demand for lemons and their scurvy-preventing properties hit a peak during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Miners were willing to pay huge sums for a single lemon. As a result, lemon trees were planted in abundance throughout California. • Today, California and Arizona produce 95% of the entire U.S. lemon crop. California produces more lemons than all of Europe. • Lemons are technically berries, as are oranges, watermelons, and tomatoes. • Although lemon trees need lots of sunshine and cannot tolerate killing frosts, they grow surprisingly well in poor soil, even in sandy soils.

LEMONS, Cont’d • You may store lemons at room temperature for about two weeks. They will keep for up to six weeks in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Sprinkle them with water to keep them fresh in the plastic bag. You can also freeze lemons. HEALTH BENEFITS • Lemons are nature’s top source of citric acid, a life essential found in the cells of all living creatures. Fresh lemon juice has only 4 calories per tablespoon. • They are one of nature’s seven top sources of potassium, a mineral that promotes clear thinking, aids in normalizing blood pressure, and works with sodium to regulate the body’s water balance. The juice of half a lemon in warm water helps eliminate toxins and ease aches, cleanse the liver, and stimulate the metabolism. • High in vitamin C, lemons prevent scurvy, a disease that causes bleeding gums, loose teeth and aching joints. To this day, the British Navy requires ships to carry enough lemons so that every sailor can have one ounce of lemon juice a day. • Add the juice of one lemon to an equal amount of hot water for an anti-bacterial gargle. • Lemon juice promotes perspiration and helps block pain. When lemon juice is heated, salicylic acid – the chemical precursor of aspirin’s active ingredient – is produced. • Citric acid can help eliminate calcium deposits in the arteries as well as pancreatic and kidney stones. • Lemons contain modified citrus pectin and limonoids, which have been shown in a recent study to prohibit the spread of cancer cells, slow cancer cell growth, and induce cancer cell death.
