MILK

by Janet Spencer

319.389.1999 · Cell Phone www.SteveEmig.com

On May 14, 1853, a patent application for commercially condensed milk was received, having been sent by a pioneer in milk technology, a man whose first name was Gail. Come along with Tidbits as we drink milk!

CONDENSING MILK

Hiawatha 100 Center Point Rd. Fairfax 513 Williams Blvd.

Marion 2100 7th Ave. 1101 Eagleview Dr. Mount Vernon 100 Highway 30 E

• When a man named Gail was traveling by ship from England to America in the 1850's, cows were on board to provide milk for babies. The ship rocked so much that the cows could not produce milk, and several infants died. Gail knew there must be a way to preserve milk so it could be used on long voyages.

• He knew that the religious sect known as Shakers used vacuum pans to preserve fruits, so he moved to a Shaker community in New York to use their equipment.

Adapting their methods, he perfected a way of preserving milk in a can, calling it condensed milk.

• He had a hard time marketing it because it was more expensive than fresh milk, and housewives thought real milk was better than canned milk. It didn’t catch on until the Civil War made it essential to get unspoiled food to soldiers. After the war, thousands of soldiers went home and introduced their wives to condensed milk.

Gail’s company thrived and is still going strong today. The company is named after Gail’s last name. What was his last name? Answer on next page.

Gail’s last name was Borden. Incidentally, Gail Borden was distantly related to Lizzie Borden of axe fame who supposedly murdered her parents.

FACT

8 ounces of condensed milk has 982 calories; evaporated milk has 338; whole milk has 150; 2% has 121; 1% has 102; cultured buttermilk has 99; and skim milk has 86.

MILK SAFETY

• Germs responsible for transmitting tuberculosis, typhoid fever, cholera, and scarlet fever live in cow manure. When the cow kicks up the manure, the germs land on the teats. If they are not washed before milking, the germs go in the milk. In the 1890's scientists finally had the evidence they needed to prove that outbreaks of these diseases came from contaminated milk.

• Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization just at that time. In pasteurization, milk is heated briefly to kill organisms without damaging or changing the milk. In 1891 in New Jersey the first milk plant to install a pasteurizer was exhibited as a modern marvel. Dairymen opposed the new technology for many reasons. They claimed it was unhealthy to alter milk this way; that the extra expense involved would send the price of milk prohibitively high; and that unscrupulous dairymen would rely so much on the pasteurizer to clean their milk that they would let their cattle and barns become filthy. Children, they claimed, were better off drinking live bacteria in real milk than dead bacteria in altered milk.

• Teddy Roosevelt ordered the Public Health Service to do a study. They concluded that pasteurization did not alter milk in any way except to kill all deadly germs.

The following year, Chicago became the first city to require all milk sold to be pasteurized.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle

TNT for Life

When I think of TNT, I think of explosive power. I live very close to a rock quarry where I hear the TNT explode the hardened rocks that are immobile. It is no different than the hardened hearts of us who are paralyzed and immobile as a result of pain/ fear in our lives. The first words Jesus spoke to His disciples while they were frozen in fear were: “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” John 21-23 The first use of the Power of the Holy Spirit is to forgive. Forgiveness is the TNT (The New Testament) to loosen hardened hearts. Too many of us are frozen in fear or holding others hostage because of an injustice done to us. The pain/fear keeps us miserable and unable to move forward. Trust in Jesus’ words, receive the Holy Spirit, and forgive those who have offended you. Offer mercy as it has been offered to you. Forgiveness is the TNT for life.

• Opponents of pasteurization went to court, arguing that requiring pasteurization interfered with free trade. Chicago courts repealed the ordinance. In 1911, the American Medical Association came out in favor of pasteurization, and New York City ordered all milk pasteurized. Milk producers, arguing hardship, managed to get enough loopholes in the law that it was essentially still legal to sell raw milk.

But in 1913 when an epidemic of typhoid hit New York due to unsanitary milk, the loopholes were closed. Eventually all cities followed suit. Infant mortality dropped drastically. Today the milk we drink rarely sees either light or air between the time it leaves the cow and the time it enters your glass.

QUICK BITS

• In the 1930's each milk bottle had an average life span of 35 round trips between dairy and home.

• Before World War II, about 80% of milk was delivered directly to the door.

Gas rationing hastened the end of that practice and people started buying their milk at the store.

• Homogenized milk is milk that has been treated to prevent the cream from rising to the top. The milk has been forced through a fine mesh which breaks up the globules of fat which remain suspended in the milk instead of rising. It has nothing to do with purity.

• Unfortified milk has only tiny traces of vitamin D. Vitamin D is found naturally in egg yolk and fish liver oil, but nowhere else.

• Iron is added to many foods, but it is not added to milk because iron-fortified milk turns coffee green.

• Sheep milk was popular in medieval England, and a sheep dairy was called a ‘wich.’ The name survives in many village names such as Greenwich, Norwich, and Sandwich.

What do you call a cow that won’t give milk?

A milk dud!

• Milk contains lactose sugar. In order to digest it, people have to produce an enzyme called lactase in their digestive tract.

Babies produce this necessary enzyme naturally until they are about six. After that, their bodies continue to produce lactase only if they continue to eat milk products regularly.

• If a person goes for a long period without eating milk products, they lose the ability to digest milk and will suffer from stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea if they try to drink milk again. In many parts of the world where cattle were never domesticated, entire races of people lost the ability to digest milk and many cultures still believe that milk products are unclean and unhealthy. Today lactase is available in tablet form for people who suffer a deficiency of it but still enjoy eating milk products.

COLIC CONNECTION

1. This type of cheese was first manufactured in monastaries and its name comes from the Latin word for monastary.

2. This kind of cheese was first manufactured by Mr. Jacks in a California town.

pheta slice Why is Swiss cheese holey? Bacteria added to the cheese give off gas as waste products. The gas collects in pockets, causing the holes in the cheese.

Blue cheese can only be called Roquefort if it is aged in the Roquefort caves of France where the constant temperature and humidity are ideal for the formation of that type of cheese.

Milk is the most widely consumed food in the U.S. with the average American drinking about 25 gallons (95 liters) a year. It’s been estimated that 72% of the calcium available in the U.S. food supply is provided by milk and milk products.

1. Foot odor is caused by the same bacteria found in this particularly stinky kind of cheese.

2. Penicillin comes from the same kind of mold that gives this kind of cheese its blue veins.

3. Colby cheese is named for a town in this dairy-producing state.

4. This crumbly type of cheese usually made from goat or sheep milk gets its name from the Greek word for ‘slice.’

5. Parmesan comes from an area called Parma in this European country.

• 20% of infants suffer from a little understood disorder called colic. This causes sustained uncontrollable fits of crying in the baby.

A recent study has turned up evidence that colic may be caused by intolerance to certain antibodies produced in the cow and passed to the baby through the milk.

But some babies suffer from colic even when they are fed exclusively human milk.

Researchers theorized that these cow “The cow of the bovine ilk; one end antibodies areispassed to the baby through is moo, the other milk.” mother’s milk. They asked mothers to stop --Ogden Nash eating milk products themselves, and in half of the cases, the colic cleared up in the child as a result.

Gloria came to the door, and Alan said, “I found your note to leave 15 gallons of milk. Did you mean 15 gallons or 1.5 gallons?” Gloria said, “I want 15 gallons.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

JAMES KRAFT

• James Kraft was born on a dairy farm near Stevensville, Ontario, Canada in 1874, the second of eleven children. He went to work in a local grocery store at the age of 18, and later moved to Buffalo, New York, where he invested in a cheese factory. The company sent him to Chicago to manage a branch of the firm. While he was there, he was ousted from the company.

With only $65 to his name, James Kraft needed to do something to survive, but cheese was the only business he knew.

• At the time, selling cheese was a dicey business.

Because there was no refrigeration, cheese melted in the summer heat and rotted quickly.

Many merchants refused to carry cheese because the quality was iffy and the shelf life was short.

In 1903, Kraft invested his $65 in a horse and wagon, and began buying cheese early in the morning and selling it to merchants before the heat of the day could spoil it. Profits were plowed back into his own dairy herd, and he spent his spare time experimenting with cheese, certain that there must be a way to pasteurize cheese the same way milk was pasteurized.

• The problem was that heating cheese caused it to separate into oils and solids, rendering it unpalatable. However, Kraft eventually discovered that if he shredded the cheese first, and stirred it quickly while heating it, the growth of mold and bacteria would stop, and the resulting product was tasty and shelf-stable.

It did not require refrigeration and could be shipped long distances.

• Competing cheese producers insisted that Kraft label his product as ‘embalmed cheese’ because the aging process had been stopped. Federal regulations later ruled that his product be labeled as ‘processed cheese.’

• The new venture was successful and by 1909, several of his brothers had joined the company.

By 1911, when James became an American citizen, the new company was advertising on billboards and reaching out to retail grocers with direct mailing campaigns.

• The company opened its first cheese factory in Illinois in 1914, distributing 30 kinds of cheese.

In 1915, Kraft sold $5000 worth of cheese. By 1916, sales had risen to $150,000. During World War I, Kraft supplied American forces with 6 million pounds of cheese, and soldiers were introduced to his product. By 1926, the Kraft Canadian organization was making 25 million five-pound boxes per year in British Columbia.

• Meantime, the company kept introducing new products: Velveeta in 1928, Miracle Whip in 1933, macaroni and cheese in 1937, Parkay margarine in 1940, sliced processed cheese in 1950, and Cheez Whiz in 1952. In 1933, Kraft started packaging cheese spreads in a container that could be used as a drinking glass when emptied. Hand-painted and nicely designed, the glasses were called Swankyswigs. In the first year following their introduction, sales rose 601% and 94.3% of women who purchased the spreads reported that they were saving the glasses.

Today Swankyswigs are collectible items.

• “After we are gone,” he wrote, “There will be Kraft salesmen trekking the veldt of Africa, braving the snows of Siberia and battling the superstitions of Mongolia -- all earnestly striving to increase sales, which by that time will be far in excess of a hundred million.” He wasn’t far from the truth, as Kraft is now the second largest food conglomerate on the planet, after Nestles.

• James Kraft died in 1953, by which time Canada had become the world’s biggest consumer of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.

Remember:

Green Tea, Coffee and Exercise It might be possible to enhance your cognitive functions and your muscles at the same time. All you’ll need is a thermos of green tea or coffee to carry with you to the gym.

Swiss researchers have discovered that green-tea extract helps working memory, and they have the results to prove it. For the study, they had male volunteers drink a soft drink that had green-tea extract in it, and then do memory tasks. What they discovered in MRIs taken afterward is that the tea extract caused “increased connectivity between the parietal and the frontal cortex of the brain.” The results of the memory tasks improved as well. The possibilities for the future are that green tea could be used in treatment of dementia.

If green tea isn’t a drink you enjoy, try coffee in your thermos. Researchers at Johns Hopkins discovered that caffeine is a memory enhancer, too, and works for at least a whole day, 24 hours. In the lab, researchers provided placebos (they contain nothing) or actual caffeine tablets (equal to a cup or two of coffee) before having participants review images. A day later they were tested on their memory of images, some of which they’d seen the day before.

Researchers found a “deeper level” of memory retention than in previous studies where the caffeine was given first and were therefore able to call the caffeine a memory enhancer.

Researchers studied women between the ages of 70 and 80 and learned that aerobic exercise increased the size of the brain in the hippocampus, the area involving memory and learning, or at the very least, the exercise slowed any shrinking of that area.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine.

Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. • Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals byfor1834.

Answer Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below: • The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

THIS IS A HAMMER

By Samantha Mazzotta

Mom’s Porch Swing Showing Its Age Q: My mother’s house has an old wooden swing on the front porch that we enjoyed as kids. But it doesn’t look very safe anymore -- the wood seems to be rotting, the paint has mostly peeled off, and it doesn’t swing straight. Is it worth convincing her to replace it? -- David H., via email

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● It was Danish physicist Niels Bohr who made the following sage observation: “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” ● It was in 1954 that the first TV dinner was introduced. ● You might have heard that the band on the doomed ocean liner Titanic played music on the deck while the ship sank. But you probably don’t know what song they were playing at the very end. According to witnesses, it was a popular British waltz called “Autumn.” ● If you’re planning a trip to Sweden, keep this point of law in mind: In that country, it’s illegal to teach a seal to balance a ball on its nose. ● Pigeons have the distinction of being only birds that don’t have to raise their heads to swallow when they drink water. c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

A: That depends on a couple of factors, besides convincing your mom to let you replace it. One, is there enough interest among the family to continue to have a porch swing? And two, is the porch structurally sound enough to safely put up a new swing?

The reason I ask is that older homes, while probably pretty sturdy, may have developed hidden problems structurally. Porches usually are built outside any load-bearing points and so don’t present a threat to the house itself, but they are sometimes built with less-durable materials and therefore deteriorate faster. There’s nothing more embarrassing than putting up a sturdy, heavy porch swing only to have to anchor bolts tear out of a rotting beam, dumping out the swing’s occupants.

Have a construction professional who specializes in outside attachments like decks and porches inspect and evaluate the condition of the porch. Tell him your plans to replace the swing and ask about the best places from which to anchor it.

Another option: If the porch doesn’t check out, or if you or your mom simply don’t want a swing on the porch, try a freestanding swing in the yard. Again, look for a sturdy, durable model with good supports that will stand up to outdoor weather for several years.

HOME TIP: Want to paint a wooden porch swing? Be sure to use exterior grade paint or paint specially formulated for outdoor porches.

Thought for the Day: “Luck is the residue of design.” -- Branch Rickey

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

● There’s been a lot of talk at my house about kitchen gadgets that do double duty, especially since I have made whipped cream for the first time -- in my coffeemaker! I have a French press that I rarely use, until now. Add heavy whipping cream and a bit of sugar to the pot, and use the screen to whip the cream by rapidly pumping it up and down. Magic! -- JoAnn ● “I love to eat pancakes, but I don’t have time to make them every morning. I make a very large batch on Sundays and reheat them through the week. In order to recreate that fresh-from-the-pan crisp (which you don’t get if you microwave them), I put them in my toaster.” -- P.E. in Ohio ● “I use an extra coffeepot to brew a pot of hot water. I use the water for both tea and instant oatmeal packets in the morning.” -M.S. in Nevada ● Ice-cube trays can be handy for freezing portions of foods. Try freezing individual servings of baby food. Or clean and snip fresh herbs from your garden. Fill the ice cube tray with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and tuck the herb snippings into the oil. Then freeze. Whatever you freeze can be popped out and stored in a zipper-top bag for quick access. ● “Here’s my tip: Use a muffin pan to make big ice cubes for drinks.” -- A.L. in Missouri ● Hashbrowns can be made on a waffle iron.

Coat liberally with canola oil or butterflavored nonstick spray, and add shredded potatoes and finely diced onion. Allow the iron to cook the potatoes to your desired level of crispness, and flip out both sides onto a plate. They will be both crisp and soft!
