by Janet Spencer In the year 1918 the average American used about half a pound of various spices in a single year. That’s the first year that the Department of Agriculture began tracking spice consumption. Today Americans eat about 3 ½ pounds of flavorings each year. Come along with Tidbits as we take a taste of spices, seasonings, and flavorings!

• The average human tongue has about 10,000 taste buds. You may have seen a diagram of the human tongue which maps out what areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting what sorts of things, whether salty, sweet, bitter and so forth. This map of the human tongue has since been disproved. Every taste bud on the tongue is equipped with five different receptors and each is capable of detecting all of the five basic tastes. • The five basic tastes are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and ‘unami,’ a Japanese word meaning savory or meaty. • Each taste bud in the mouth dies off and is replaced about once every 14 days. • You can’t see your taste buds. The bumps you can see on your tongue are called papillae and the tiny taste buds rest on top of these projections. • There are eight muscles in the tongue. Cont'd next page!

TASTE TEST
• In the year 1930, an accident in the laboratory led to an amazing discovery. One scientist was tinkering with the formula for a blue dye in a lab owned by DuPont Chemical Company. As he was pouring a container of white powder into another container, he fumbled and the chemical powder puffed into the air. He accidentally inhaled some of the powder, as did the scientist standing next to him. He was surprised when the scientist next to him started to gag because the powder was so bitter. He had tasted nothing whatsoever. Each of the scientists put a tiny dab of the powder onto their tongue. The scientist who had bobbled the formula tasted nothing whatsoever. His coworker grimaced because it tasted very bitter to him. They went throughout the department testing other people to see if they could taste the bitter powder or not. Some could, some could not. This was the first realization and the first proof that people’s sense of taste varies from person to person and is not at all uniform. Since then a marker in DNA has been identified which determines whether a particular human is sensitive to the taste of the bitterness or not. • When a human tastes something bitter, the result will usually be a scrunched-up face: the mouth will frown, the nose is wrinkled up, and the tongue sticks out. Even babies make this face when they taste something bitter. Amazingly, animals do too.

A NEW VANILLA
BUYING
$
• In 1975 officials in Madagascar deliberately destroyed much of their vanilla crop in order to create scarcity to make the price go higher. One of their major buyers was McCormick, one of the biggest spice companies in the world. When the price of vanilla spiraled out of control, researchers at McCormick discovered how to make imitation vanilla out of pine cones, and then how to make it out of cloves. The result is called vanillin, more commonly known as ‘artificial vanilla flavoring.’ Vanillin still counts as a ‘natural’ flavor because there’s nothing unnatural about pine cones or cloves.

• Chemical flavorings are even added to livestock feeds to encourage animals to eat more so they get fat more quickly in order to turn a higher profit.
• In the years between 1949 and 1959, chemists invented over 400 additives to help preserve and process food. (Continued next page)

ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING
• When given nothing but straw to eat, livestock will eat more of it and thus gain weight faster if the straw has been treated with various artificial flavors making it taste like clover or rye grass. These are the same sorts of artificial flavorings used in human food as well. A child might not want to drink a glass of nothing but sugar water, but add some artificial flavorings to make it taste like fruit juice and they will drink every drop.

• Cinnamon is made from dried tree bark. • Cloves are dried flower buds from a tree that grows in Indonesia. • Nutmeg is made from the pit of a sweet fruit, similar to the pit inside a peach. Mace is the lacy covering of a nutmeg, slightly more pungent in taste. • Peppercorns are the dried berries of a tropical vine. • Today, saffron is the most expensive spice, nearly worth its weight in gold. It takes 14,000 dried stigmas of a certain crocus flower to make one ounce of saffron. It cannot be harvested by machine but must be harvested by hand. In Bavaria in 1444 it was the law that any merchant found selling adulterated saffron was to be burned alive. • In the 1800’s, Catholic priests wandered among the Indians in California to spread their religion. It is said that as they travelled, they would drop mustard seeds behind them. Later they could find their way back by following the trail of bright yellow mustard blossoms. • Coriander helps inhibit inflammation in the human body. Ginger can relieve nausea and vomiting. Dill helps skin become more elastic. Basil kills viruses and lowers cholesterol. Cinnamon helps decrease blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes. Black pepper has antidepressant properties and stimulates digestion. Turmeric can increase cognitive function. • Allspice is a berry, not a blend of spices. It was named because it tastes like a blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. • Herbs are derived from a plant’s leaves whereas spices come from the bark, buds, roots and seeds of a plant.

--Seniors are clipping along at a fast rate when it comes to being involved in new technology. However, just because new things are available doesn’t mean we should participate until we check them out. Tele-visits for medical problems are one of those areas where the idea might be better than the actual execution. For someone who’s ill, however, and can’t get a same-day appointment with the doctor, the idea of going online for medical care might be appealing. A recent study looked at the results of telephone, webchat and videoconference medical visits to test the level of care and the accuracy of diagnoses.

About Mental Illness One 1 in 5 Americans, or nearly 60 million people across all racial, ethnic, age, religious and economic groups, face the day-to-day reality of living with a mental health condition. Mental illness affects everyone.
Support
We reach out and respond to those in need through our HelpLine, website, social media channels and through no-cost support groups for families and individuals.
Fifty percent of mental health conditions begin by age 14 and 75 percent of mental health conditions develop by age 24. Yet fewer than one-third of adults and one-half of children with a mental health condition receive services and treatment in a given year. The result of this public health failure is often tragic: Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth and young adults ages 15 to 24.
#IAmStigmaFree
Education
We get it. We’ve been there. With the understanding unique to those with lived experience, we provide an array of no-cost education programs.
Awareness
We promote a unified voice on mental illness, aiming to replace ignorance with understanding through NAMIWalks, public presentations, public education and outreach initiatives and more.
Early engagement and support are crucial to improving outcomes and increasing the promise of recovery.
Advocacy
About NAMI NAMI Is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an association of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in communities nationwide as part of the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization. NAMI offers help and hope, improves lives, takes a stand and educates families and those living with mental illness. Located in Iowa City, Iowa, NAMI Johnson County is a NAMI State Organization/Affiliate. NAMI Johnson County and local NAMI affiliates in communities throughout the state, work together to raise awareness and provide essential education, advocacy and no-charge support group programs for people living with mental Illness and their loved ones. NAMI Johnson County addresses the mental Illness needs of our community, replaces stigma with understanding and helps thousands of families and individuals each year. NAMI Johnson County is a 501 (C)(3) grassroots mental health organization.
NAMI is the voice of reason, advocating tirelessly at the national, state and local levels, promoting common-sense solutions to solve our nation’s mental health care crisis and ensure research advances. NAMI members and leaders are visible and formidable, taking on and winning tough battles.
NAMIWalks
NAMIWalks’ public, active display of support for people affected by mental health conditions is one important way we are changing how Americans view people with a mental illness. NAMIWalks bring together families, individuals, coworkers and businesses to help raise funds, combat stigma and promote awareness. NAMIWalks is NAMI’s largest and most successful mental health awareness and fundraising event. In 2015, 79 NAMIWalks events raised nearly $11 million to support local programs and initiatives that improve the lives of persons affected by mental illness. Cover photo by Keren Lynn Photography.

A guy walks into the doctor's office. A cayenne pepper stuck in one of his ears, a ginger root in the other ear, and a jalapeno stuck in one nostril. The man says, "Doc, this is terrible. What's wrong with me?" The doctor says, "Well, first of all, you need to eat more sensibly."
STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
* The state with the highest percentage of people who walk to work is Alaska. * The main cabin of Air Force One, the airplane in which the president flies, is 4,000 square feet. That’s more than many people’s homes. Air Force One has seven bathrooms and 16 TVs. And there is enough food aboard to serve 2,000 meals.

"With NutriMost, I have lost 45 pounds and have lost 43 inches all over my body. I went from a size 13 jean to a size 5. Before NurtiMost, I hated going clothes shopping. I hated trying on clothes. I hated having to buy jeans because they kept getting holes where my thighs would rub together. I didn't feel comfortable in the clothes I would wear unless it was a big baggy sweat shirt. I was always tired not really having any energy to do anything unless I was taking a nap. Now I have more energy, and I feel great. I get up earlier and want to start doing things around the house. My sleep and allergy symptoms have improved. I love going clothes shopping now! And I can cross my legs normal now (it's the little things.). I look in the mirror and I see a new person. It's the best feeling ever!" - Katrina

* Scotsmen and their descendants make up almost half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and almost three-quarters of American presidents. * An adult human has 60,000 miles of blood vessels. * Most people know that a human has 46 chromosomes, but how do we compare to other living things? Not surprisingly, an ant has only two. A fruit fly has eight. A garden pea has 14. Your pet dog has 78. And a garden fern? It has 1,260 chromosomes! * A proverb of unknown origin states, “The length of a piece of wood can only be too short on one end.” (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
