COFFEE

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!

K ELLE Y

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 onethird of all food commonly consumed by civilians was rationed at one time or another during WWII, including butter, sugar, milk, and gasoline.

• 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.’ cont'd next page!

• 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 caffeine-free. 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, it dissipates when the beans are roasted at 400°f. Any remnants still in the beans are rendered harmless by brewing the coffee at a temperature around 200°f. • 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.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle Holiday Survival Tool Kit

For most people the holidays are a joyful time of family, friends, food, and fun. We are barraged with suggestive marketing to buy, buy, and buy more. At a time when stores are competing for our money, there are many who are sad, lonely, and depressed. The passing of a loved one, the constant rewind of broken relationships, the loss of income, and the passing of a pet are just a few holes that are magnified during the holidays. Here are some survival tools to help make this a Holy Christmas season: • Faith gives us the ability to rise above circumstances so we can begin to see a much higher purpose: Picture a hot air balloon being filled with the fire of faith as it rises above ground zero • Adopt and commit to traditions that benefit others: A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25 • Welcome, accept, and invite a divine spiritual presence of Jesus and others: Pull up an empty chair next to your bed and dining table • Hold onto the things that bring you comfort: Wrap yourself in the warmth of the things that bring comfort, hope, and encouragement

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 medications. 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. (cont’d)

2. Oil is the only commodity that’s more commonly traded than coffee.

Coffee is addictive in the sense that there is a compulsion to continue use; that tolerance for it increases; and that users experience withdrawal when they don’t drink it. The major symptom of coffee withdrawal is a headache, but irritability, restlessness, and lethargy may also result.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative Seniors sometimes buy into the stereotypes that we’re over the hill, getting weak and past our prime. Not only that, but we often develop negative attitudes about others in our group simply because of their age. There is at least one way to counter that negativity. Researchers at UC Berkeley and Yale found a way to use positive subliminal messages to increase activity levels in seniors and increase physical health -- and it only took a few weeks. The results were better than six months of exercise. One hundred seniors with an average age of 80 were divided into four groups for multiple 15-minute sessions. Some were given implicit or explicit messages. Some wrote essays about being active. Some were given positive subliminal one-word messages, flashed on a computer screen so fast they couldn’t really be seen. Psychological improvements were seen in the form of more positive selfperceptions, which then improved physical strength (getting up and down from a chair, holding a pose, staying balanced and walking). The benefits of all those positive messages lasted at least three weeks after the final session. Only those who wrote essays didn’t see any benefits. In two similar studies, seniors who were flashed negative subliminal messages saw lower memory performance. Self-stereotyping about age comes at us in two batches: the first when we hit a “number” that defines us as a member of senior group, such as collecting Social Security; the second when we ourselves start to buy into the negativity about aging by denying it as long as we can. While we can’t flash positive subliminal messages at ourselves on a computer screen, we can seek out the positive wherever we are. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail.com.

Famous Canadians

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. • Horton had a reputation for enveloping opposing players in a crushing bear hug. Boston Bruins winger Derek Sanderson once bit Horton during a fight. Years later when asked why, he replied, “Well, I felt one rib go, and I felt another rib go, so I just had to get out of there!” • 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. • On February 21, 1974, Tim Horton was driving his sports car at a high rate of speed down the Queen Elizabeth Way in Ontario. He lost control and drove into the median. The car flipped several times before coming to a stop on its roof. Not wearing a seatbelt, Horton was ejected 200 ft from the car. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. • It wasn’t until 2005 that the autopsy report was released, which showed that Horton’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit, and that a half-filled vodka bottle was among the crash debris. • 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.

Too little, too late, Scorpio. There is nothing you can say or do at this point. Bow out. A loved one makes you an offer you cannot refuse.

It takes 7,600 BTUs of energy to produce a pound of glass from sand, but 32% less when made from recycles glass.

• 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.
