SALT FACTS • No animal can survive without salt. Salt is a mineral, not a spice. It’s made of 40% sodium, which is a metal with a positive charge, and 60% chlorine, which is a poisonous gas with a negative charge.

Put them together and you have sodium chloride, a mineral the body is unable to manufacture on its own. Without salt, muscles won’t contract, blood won’t circulate, food won’t digest, wounds won’t heal, nerve impulses won’t get through, and the heart won’t beat. Salt regulates fluids, controls blood pressure, and helps the liver clear waste products. Salt is not just a seasoning; it’s a necessity.

• The amount of salt needed varies according to a person’s size, age, metabolism, and exertion level. The average human body contains about four ounces (113 grams) of salt. A typical human needs to ingest about 0.1 ounce (3 grams) per day to maintain the proper level. The typical American eats about 0.35 ounces (10 grams) of salt per day, and the excess is excreted by the kidneys. The concentration of salt in the blood generally doesn’t vary beyond one percent. One-third of the sodium we ingest comes from the salt shaker. The rest is already in our food. (cont’d next page)

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D. No Harm in Taking Nitro for Angina --DEAR DR. ROACH: Could you write about the effect that angina, stopped quickly by nitro, has on one’s system? My husband takes Imdur (30 mg) twice a day to control angina, although he still experiences it several times a week, necessitating a nitroglycerin pill. Sometimes angina comes from exertion, such as climbing stairs a few times or doing home-maintenance chores. He is 89 and in relatively good health. He has had bypass surgery and several catheterizations, with eight stents. He doesn’t need a cane or use oxygen. His cardiologist suggested EECP, which my husband does not want to endure, believing the medicines are working fine.

His quality of life is good -- angina does not interfere with going out and enjoying himself. Is he taking angina too lightly because he can stop it by popping a nitro? -- M.W. ANSWER: Angina pectoris literally means “chest pain,” but in my experience people with angina due to blockages in the arteries of the heart are more likely to complain of pressure or tightness than actual pain.

Angina occurs when the heart’s demand for blood oxygen exceeds the supply. This usually means during exercise. If the blood supply is fixed due to a blockage in the heart, the heart simply can’t get enough oxygen above a certain level of exercise. If the person with angina stops exercising, the demand for oxygen goes back down below what can be supplied, and the angina goes away. Stable angina is associated with a low risk for heart attack.

Medications like isosorbide (Imdur) and nitroglycerine work by dilating the blood vessels in order to increase supply. These medicines also dilate veins, which reduces the demands on the heart. Stents are designed to keep blockages open. Nonetheless, there are many people who continue to have angina despite what can be done with medicine and stents.

EECP (enhanced external counterpulsation) is a new technique. Cuffs wrapped around the legs are synchronized with the EKG and squeeze strongly when the heart is at rest. This forces blood backward through the arteries and into the blood vessels of the heart. It may work by making some blood vessels larger, but the exact mechanism isn’t clear. EECP is used for people with stable angina. It takes 35 hours of EECP over four to seven weeks to get benefits, and about 70 percent of people had improvement from severe angina to mild or none. EECP is a big investment of time, and is usually reserved for people whose angina is more disabling than your husband’s.

At 89, your husband certainly is entitled to say he is doing fine the way he is and not wanting further treatments.

Coronary artery disease can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack. The booklet on the disease explains its causes, symptoms (such as angina) and treatment.

SALT FACTS cont’d • Although it is true that people who already have high blood pressure can lower it by limiting their salt intake, the fact is that people who have normal blood pressure are not much affected by salt.

Salt, however, can be a deadly poison if too much is taken all at once. A mere 2.3 ounces (65 grams) will make a person seriously sick. About 6.6 ounces (187 grams) will kill an adult human.

Salt saturation used to be an acceptable method of suicide in Japan.

• In an experiment, people were given massive doses of salt, not only in their food but also intravenously. The effects of too much salt were swollen feet, weight gain, an enlarged heart, and high blood pressure. Too little salt resulted in fatigue, confusion, muscle cramps, poor judgment, and an inability to correctly estimate passage of time. In another study, people with abnormally low sodium levels were shown to have a higher death rate than those with a normal level of salt in their bodies.

• Pound for pound, babies have almost two-thirds more sodium and twice as much chloride as adults. In 1980, a brand of soybased baby formula jumped on the “low-salt” bandwagon and began offering a new low sodium formula. Within a few months, 34 cases of chloride deficiency in babies were reported. The babies were losing weight, sluggish, and stunted because they were not getting enough sodium chloride. They Natural & Organic Groceries & Supplements recovered after being switched to a different formula, and the 14 baby food company put salt Sheridan Good Health Emporium Leather back in its recipes.

WORD WIZARD • “Wich” was the word indicating a town where salt was produced such as Greenwich, Northwich, and even Sandwich, which was a place before it was a food.

• The word “salt” probably comes from the name of the town EsSalt, which was once a capital city close to the Dead Sea. It is also the origin of words like “salami” and “salad.” The words “war” and “peace” originate from the ancient Arabic words for salt and bread, perhaps because the first wars were fought over these two commodities.

• Much of human society has been built around salt, which has often served as the cornerstone of economy. The Roman government used to pay its soldiers in salt, and our word ‘salary’ comes from the Roman word for salt. Any worker who didn’t work hard was “not worth his salt.”

WHY IS THE SEA SALTY? • Seas are salty because water dissolves the natural salts in the soils and rocks it flows through on the way to the ocean. Over the eons as water has continually evaporated from the oceans, the salts have been left behind. The concentration builds up year after year. The oceans are 3.5 percent salt.

• The Dead Sea, which, at 1,300 feet (396 m) below sea level is the lowest place on the planet, has plenty of fresh water coming in but not a single place where water can go out. Because the rate of evaporation is so high, all the incoming minerals are left behind. In some spots the Dead Sea is 23% salt which is too salty to support any kind of life. By comparison, the Great Salt Lake in Utah is about 20% salt-- so salty that it never completely freezes over.

• About 97% of Earth’s water is in the form of salty seawater. • When evaporated, 150 gallons (567 l) of seawater will yield 35 lbs. (15.8 kg) of salt.

MORE SALTY FACTS • There is enough salt in the seas to cover all the continents to a depth of 500 feet (152 m). • The first patent ever issued in America was for a process to recover salt from sea water. • Where salt seas became land-locked and dried up, large strata of rock salt were left, which are good places for salt mines. One of the largest salt plants in the U.S. is located in Texas City, where there’s a salt deposit that’s 1.5 miles wide (2.4 km) and over three miles (4.8 km) thick. There’s enough salt in this one location to supply the world’s needs for some 20,000 years.

• The Erie Canal was built with funds raised from a 12% tax placed on American salt and, once built, was used to carry heavy loads of salt from the factories in New York.

DON’T DRINK SEA WATER • Your kidneys are responsible for making sure the ratio of salt to water in the bloodstream stays at the optimum level. If you drink salt water while stranded on a raft in the ocean, the level of salt in the bloodstream skyrockets. The kidneys now work overtime to add water to the blood in order to return things to normal. Sea water is three times saltier than urine, so for every cup of sea water that is drunk, the body has to make three cups of urine to flush the salt out of the body. This robs your body tissues of their natural supply of water, and you become dehydrated much faster than if you had not drunk the salt water.

FAST FACT • Some species of sea birds have a gland between their eyes that filters salt from seawater that the bird drinks and empties it out of the beak. Some birds, like the albatross, cannot drink fresh water or they suffer from salt deficiency as the salt continues to pour out of the gland. The camel is also adapted for drinking brackish salt water. Pure water may intoxicate the animal.

QUICK QUIZ: SAUCE #1 • Off the coast of Louisiana there’s a place called Avery Island. A family named McIlhenny owned the island and ran the nation’s first successful salt mine there.

• In 1862, in the midst of the Civil War, Union troops invaded the area. They needed salt to preserve their meat, so they took over the island. Mr. McIlhenny and his family fled to Texas.

• When they returned after the war, they found the salt factory and the plantation ruined. All that was left was a crop of hot peppers, which the soldiers had no taste for. The peppers were particularly hot because the soil was so salty. McIlhenny was determined to make a profit from the peppers so he began experimenting. He devised a new sauce using his peppers combined with the island’s salt, along with vinegar and spices. He named it after a river in Mexico simply because he liked the word.

• After pouring it into empty cologne bottles, he sent samples to wholesalers. The typical cuisine of the Southern U.S. tended to be bland, but people found that just a few drops of McIlhenny’s sauce spiced things up. In 1868 he sold 350 bottles of the sauce. In 1870 he sold over 1,000. Two years later demand was so great he had to open a London branch.

• Today McIhenny’s factories on Avery Island produce 200,000 to 300,000 bottles of this sauce each day, and it’s sold worldwide. What sauce is it? (answer at bottom of the page) QUICK QUIZ: SAUCE #2 • According to the legend, Lord Sandys of England spent several years living in India. Around 1835 he returned home to England, bringing with him the recipe for a sauce that he liked which was popular in India. He gave the recipe to two druggists named John Lea and William Perrins.

Checking Your Pets For Fleas Do you know that over 2000 fleas have been identified around the world? One flea that you will probably see is the cat flea found on cats and dogs. The cat flea is a tiny black/brown wingless bug called a parasite. Parasites are bugs that can only live if they are helped by others. Cats and dogs help by giving the cat flea food - their blood. With its powerful back legs, the flea will jump onto your pet and suck up its blood like a vampire.

The cat flea is around 5 millimeters long. That’s about the size of a drop of water. But, one tiny female flea can lay up to two thousand eggs in her life! The eggs stick to your pet’s fur, or fall off onto your pet’s bed, your rug, or outside in your yard. The baby fleas can grow up to be adults in as little as 16 days. This means that the population of fleas grows at a very fast rate.

If your pet has fleas you will see little black specks on your pet. This is called flea dirt. It is waste from fleas. You might see a flea if you part the hair on your pet’s back, but they run very fast. If you see one flea on your pet, there are at least forty fleas living in your pet’s environment. Your pet’s environment is anywhere that your pet goes; whether it is in your house or outside.

To check for fleas, take one piece of white paper towel and brush your pet over it. The flea dirt will fall off.

It looks like pepper. If you wet the paper towel and gently rub it with your fingers, the dirt will dissolve. If you see a red or rust colored spot, your pet has fleas. The spot of red shows up because the fleas have eaten a meal of blood.

Fleas bite your dog or cat and cause them to scratch. To stop the fleas from biting, your pet will sometimes eat the fleas that are in their fur. This can cause your pet to get a parasite called tapeworm. Tapeworms live in the small intestine of cats and dogs. If your pet has tapeworms you will find rice-like pieces on your pet’s bedding or around your pet’s bottom.

Fleas make your pet scratch, they suck their blood, and they can carry tapeworms. They are very hard to get rid of because the adult can live up to one week without eating, and they fight off some anti-flea products. Bring your pet to his/her doctor - a veterinarian. He or she will give you something to kill the fleas. It is better for your pet if you get rid of the fleas as soon as possible. Keep your pets flea-free by checking your pet’s fur and visiting your veterinarian regularly.

JOY MORTON • Joy Morton was born in 1855 in Nebraska City, Nebraska. After falling ill with spinal meningitis at the age of 18, he decided to get a job entailing hard physical labor in an outdoor setting in order to regain his strength. He subsequently went to work for the railroad, working throughout Illinois.

He eventually found a job working for E.I. Wheeler’s salt manufacturing company in Chicago.

• He became a partner in the business in 1886 when he invested $10,000 in order to move salt westward by hauling it on barges across the Great Lakes. When Wheeler died, Morton bought the company. When his brother and son joined the company, it was renamed Morton Salt Company. It was the only salt company in the nation at the time and it is still remains the #1 salt producer in North America.

• Morton was responsible for two innovations in salt. Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland to work properly. Without iodine, the thyroid swells, sometimes enormously, and forms a goiter.

People suffering from iodine deficiency suffer from tremors, fatigue, nausea, and anemia. Iodine is usually present in the soil and the water. But in places where it’s not, goiters became common. In 1924, almost 66% of school children in the Lake Superior school districts had goiters.

Meantime, goiters were almost unheard of along the Mississippi River, where the water has up to 18,000 times as much natural iodine as Lake Superior. After being approached by health officials, Morton became the first company to add iodine to its salt in minuscule amounts. Health authorities correctly surmised that salt was the single most universally consumed food item, and it’s easy to add iodine to salt. One-fifth of a pound of iodine is enough to treat an entire ton of salt.

• As a result, between 1924 and 1928, the goiters of Michigan - and everywhere else - virtually disappeared. Today, over half of all table salt sold is iodized. Sea salt has no iodine added because it contains iodine naturally.

• The other innovation Morton invented was to add an anti-caking element to salt. In the 1800s, ground-up salt tended to form clumps in humid weather. Many salt shakers were made that tried to combat this using various means. Some had agitators inside to break up lumps; some had special pockets for moisture-absorbing solutions. Morton began adding magnesium carbonate to salt which prevented it from clumping up even in the rainiest environments. This inspired their slogan (swiped from the Bible, and suggested by Morton’s son) “When it rains, it pours” and the famous logo of the little girl with the big umbrella. In a poll, 90% of housewives recognized the slogan. After the clumping problem was solved, the salt shaker became standard issue.

• In 1903, the Morton warehouse in South Chicago contained over 200,000 tons of salt - the world’s largest stock under a single roof. No one knows what started the fire, but the entire compound was in ruins by the time it was out. Where once there were piles of pure white salt, now there were piles of blackened salt, covered with ashes and carbon. Joy Morton was undaunted. Charcoal makes a good additive in stock food, and soon farmers were buying up the new product: Morton’s special “charcoal blend.” The entire stock of salt was sold.

• In the 1930s the Morton Co. expanded into other chemical products, and in 1982 merged with the Thiokol Corp. to form Morton-Thiokol.

Morton now sells around 400 different kinds of salt-based products.

SALOME’S STARS --ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although practical situations continue to dominate this week, there’s time for the Lamb to indulge in the fun things in life -- like maybe taking a special someone out for a great evening.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week favors relationships. Take time to renew old ones, and make time to go where new friends can be found. On a more practical note, expect news about a business deal.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You should be seeing some progress on that new workplace situation. Meanwhile, family matters might demand more attention, and you’ll want to set aside time to deal with them.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A relationship suddenly might present some challenges you never expected. After talking things out, you might want to consider taking some time to assess what you’ve learned.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A disappointing response to a request might dampen the Lion’s spirits. But you might want to ask the reasons behind it. What you learn can be of great importance in a future undertaking.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A once-volatile situation should be settled by now, giving you a chance to refocus on a project you’ve been planning for.

Look for an interested party to rally to your support.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business matter that unexpectedly turns into a personal situation could create complications. Best to resolve the matter now before too much harm can be done.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Emotions can run high when they involve personal matters that no one really wants to talk about. But this could be a good time to create the means to a workable outcome.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A positive response to a workplace request could lead the way to other long-sought changes. Congratulations.

A personal situation also takes a welcome turn.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Patience pays off, as that onceoverwhelming work situation continues to become easier to handle on a one-byone basis. Look for positive news from a colleague.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It might be a good idea to take more time to reassess your next move in working out a complex situation. You could benefit from a new perspective on the matter.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might want to consider making time to discuss a change of plans with everyone concerned. Be prepared to explain your actions. Also be prepared to listen to alternatives.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a strong sense of what is right, and you try to work from that foundation. Friends see you as reliable. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

SAUCE #2 (cont’d) • John Lea and William Perrins were so impressed by Sandys’ ravings about how good it was going to taste that they mixed up a few barrels of it, hoping to make a big profit by selling the excess to their customers. But when they tasted it, they found it so awful that they stored the barrels in the basement and forgot about them.

• A few years later, the barrels were re-discovered while the basement was being cleaned out. Before throwing it out, they tasted it again. After aging for two years, the sauce had fermented, developing a new flavor that was an instant hit. They went into business, releasing the new product in 1838.

• When salesmen employed by Lea and Perrins convinced British passenger ships to put bottles of the sauce on their dining room tables, its popularity spread worldwide.

• Today the recipe includes anchovies, soybeans, vinegar, garlic, shallots, and molasses, which are blended and then aged two years. The sauce was named after the town where the druggists lived, and is still one of the world’s most popular sauces, used in everything from meats to mixed drinks. What is it? (Answer at bottom of page) TABASCO FACTS • Tabasco should be stored in a cool dark place but does not need to be refrigerated. • Tabasco sauce may change color over time, growing darker with exposure to heat and light, but that doesn’t affect the taste. • Tabasco has a shelf life of about five years. • A teaspoon full of Tabasco has zero calories.

• A maximum of about 700,000 bottles of Tabasco can be turned out every single day.

Answer: Lea & Perrins created Worcestershire Sauce, often called Worcester Sauce.

(The town was Worcester and ‘shire’ means ‘county.’)
