by Janet Spencer Sugar is everywhere. It forms the building blocks of carbohydrates, the most abundant type of organic molecules in living things. Come along with Tidbits as we swallow a spoonful of sugar! • Researchers note that sugar is not necessarily a health problem, but the amount of sugar we consume is. Americans consume about 160 lbs of various sweeteners annually. That’s around 50 teaspoons of sugar per day, including sugar from sugar cane, sugar beets, and high fructose corn syrup, with a little bit of honey and maple syrup on the side. It’s recommended by the American Heart Association that adults do not take in more than 5 to 9 teaspoons of sugar per day. • Sugar provides what are called ‘empty calories’ because it has no vitamins, no minerals, no enzymes, no fat, and no fiber. It’s a source of instant energy, which is not necessarily a healthy thing. • About two thirds of the sugar consumed in a typical American diet comes from processed foods. One half a cup of prepackaged spaghetti sauce can contain as much sugar as two Oreo cookies (and also has one third of the daily recommended amount of salt.) Heinz ketchup contains up to one teaspoon of sugar in each one tablespoon serving. Cont’d next page!

• Sugar cane is a member of the grass family and there are six different species, all of which look very similar to bamboo. None of the species can tolerate freezing temperatures. Sugar cane is usually grown in large plantations. It can yield up to 44 pounds of sugar for every 11 square feet of land. • It takes between 12 and 18 months for a cane stalk to mature to the point where it can be harvested. It is a perennial plant meaning it can regrow from the roots over and over, but each time it yields less sugary sap than before until it becomes more economical to plant a fresh new crop. The stalk of the plant is boiled and refined into molasses and sugar. The sugar cane must be refined within days of being harvested. • It takes one ton of water to grow enough cane to yield one pound of sugar. • Sugar cane was first domesticated in New Guinea and areas of Indonesia, and people in India were the first to refine it. One of the first recorded references to sugar dates back to the year 325 BC. • Christopher Columbus brought sugar cane with him on his second voyage to the New World in 1493 and planted it in Santo Domingo. By the year 1516, sugar was being shipped to Europe from there. • The first sugar cane in the United States was planted in Louisiana in the mid1700s. • At first, sugar was rare and expensive. Slavery on sugar plantations caused social upheaval. Jungles were torn down to make room for more sugar cane. • As sugar became more widely available, the price dropped so that more people could afford it. • Brazil is currently the world’s largest producer of sugar.

I even went to Mayo Clinic and had surgery, but it did not correct the problem. Since doing the program, NutriMost has improved my health drastically. This program detoxed my body and improved my vitamins and minerals. I’m more hydrated. Due to my improved health, I have not had one sinus infection in 2 years. My energy is better and I’m living life to the fullest. If you’re ready to experience these wonderful changes, give NutriMost a call!”

Thought for the Day: “Three grand

essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” -- Joseph Addison

Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below:

• Sugar is a combination of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Mankind is unable to produce sugar using chemical processes. Only plants can manufacture sugar. Our table sugar comes from two different plants: sugar cane, and sugar beets. They are chemically identical. • It used to be thought that sugar could only be made from sugar cane. One scientist named Achard was viewed as a crackpot because he kept trying to get sugar from beets, which were easy to grow in cold climates. In 1806 Napoleon ordered all French ports closed to English products because a war had broken out between the two countries. This cut off the supply of sugar, which England got from its Caribbean colonies. When Napoleon heard of a man that could turn beets into sugar, he visited him and was so impressed that he took the Legion of Honor medal from his own chest and pinned it on him. Two years later there were 40 sugar beet factories in France. When the war ended, the price of sugar bottomed out and the beet factories closed. Today, two-thirds of the world’s sugar comes from sugar cane, and one-third from beets. • Children develop a taste for salty things by the time they are four or five years old, but the appreciation of sweet things is present from the moment of birth. In an experiment, babies had one of their hands placed in a bowl of uncomfortably cold water. Researchers found that babies would leave their hand in that cold water longer if they were distracted by being given something sweet. • In the 1970s sugar’s rising price led to the development of high fructose corn syrup, which then became the sweetener of choice used in soft drinks and processed foods. Over the next three decades, consumption of soda pop more than doubled in the U.S., eventually reaching over 50 gallons a year per person. Between 1970 and 1990 consumption of high fructose corn syrup in the U.S. increased tenfold. By 1999 every person in America was averaging 215 calories per day from high fructose corn syrup alone. • In a study, rats were taught that they would receive an electrical shock if they ate cheesecake. They ate cheesecake anyway and suffered the electrical shocks rather than go without cheesecake.

CRESTVIEW ACRES PROUDLY PRESENTS:

• Medical studies have shown that high intake of sugar has a negative effect on the survival rates of people suffering from colon cancer and breast cancer. • Regular consumption of refined sugar can cause deficiencies of the B vitamins. • Sugar accelerates the aging of cells in the human body and also increases the amount of skin wrinkles because excess blood sugar binds to collagen in the skin and makes it less elastic.

Answers on page 16

• Drinking a single 12-ounce can of soda pop daily adds enough sugar to the diet to boost the chance of getting heart disease by a third. • Americans consume the most sugar through soft drinks (33%), followed by candy (16%); cakes, cookies, and pies (13%); fruit drinks (10%); dairy desserts and milk (9%); and other things (6%). In the American diet, added sugar accounts for nearly 500 calories every day. This is calorically equivalent to eating 10 strips of bacon every day.

A Little Nugget of Knowledge: In India the word for sugar was 'sharkara' meaning 'gravel' because the boiled sap, when dried out, looked like dark-colored sand. That word went into the Persian language as 'shaker' which became our sugar. The Sanskrit for sugar was 'khanda' meaning 'a piece of something' from which we derive the word 'candy.'

Amazing Animals

• In the 1980s, a caterpillar epidemic began devastating the cotton crop in the southern United States. Farmers turned to entomologists for help. These bug scientists knew that every female wasp lays an egg on the back of a caterpillar. When the egg hatches, the wasp maggots will eat the caterpillar from the inside out, killing it. So the entomologists began breeding and releasing wasps into the cotton fields. It didn’t do a bit of good. More entomologists were called in to find out why. • First they studied how a wasp finds a caterpillar to begin with. They discovered it was not by sight. When a wasp and a caterpillar were placed in the same box, the wasp paid no attention to the caterpillar. They thought it might be by smell but once again, when a wasp was close to a caterpillar, there was no recognition at all. Next, they tried putting a caterpillar on a plant and releasing the wasp, with no change. But when they put a wasp in a box that contained a partially eaten plant that had been munched by the caterpillar, the wasp showed particular interest in the plant, and then zeroed in on the caterpillar.

• Researchers concluded that the damaged plant was giving off an odor that attracted the wasp. Given the choice, the wasp would always be more attracted to a half-eaten plant without a caterpillar on it than to an undamaged plant that had a caterpillar on it. • The entomologists began breeding wasps that were being hatched inside caterpillars that had been fed corn, beans, and soy. When these wasps were released into the cotton fields, they completely failed to find the caterpillars that were raiding the cotton crop. So it was back to the drawing board for the entomologists.

Answers on page 14

• Researchers discovered that wasp maggots, when feeding on a caterpillar, will become sensitized to whatever that caterpillar had been eating. The wasp will then become attracted to those specific plants. Scientists found that if they wanted the wasps to zero in on caterpillars that were eating the cotton plants, they needed to raise wasp maggots on caterpillars that had eaten cotton plants. The adult wasp will then be highly sensitive to the odor of a damaged cotton plant. The wasp will ignore damaged tobacco plants and the tobacco budworms, and will likewise ignore damaged corn plants and the corn earworm. • Further studies showed that the chemical odor that attracts a wasp to a damaged plant is the same odor that gives freshly cut grass its characteristic smell. Wasps are able to tell the difference between freshly cut Bermuda grass and freshly cut Kentucky bluegrass. Knowing this, the researchers were able to save the cotton crop. • Whereas a bee can sting only once before dying, a wasp can sting an unlimited number of times and never dies. • Bees are strictly herbivores, eating only nectar and pollen, but wasps eat other insects. Wasps may also eat nectar but they do not collect it like bees do. • Bees create their hives from wax they secrete themselves but wasps create their nests from wood pulp that they scrape from trees and chew up. • A typical wasp colony will have about 5,000 individuals, all of which die off over the winter except for a fertilized larval queen. She survives in a warm spot until she can hatch in the spring and begin laying eggs to start a new colony. • Nearly every pest insect on Earth is preyed upon by a wasp species, either for food or as a host for its parasitic larvae.

• In 1932 Charles Lubin and his brotherin-law purchased a chain of bakeries in Chicago called the Community Bake Shops. The business was successful, but in 1949 Charles and his brother-in-law parted ways and Charles took over the business. • Charles believed that because the business had been so successful in supplying baked goods to the grocery stores of Chicago, he should try supplying baked goods to the mass market of America, so he began to experiment with ways to do that. • He invented a method that allowed desserts to be baked, frozen, shipped, and reheated in a foil pan. His first mass-market product was a frozen cheesecake, which needed a name. • His wife Tillie suggested he name it after their daughter, and he did. The cheesecake became so popular that he renamed the entire corporation after his daughter. He added more products such as pound cake and coffee cake, and by 1955 his products were sold all over the country. • The business was so profitable that Charles sold out to Consolidated Foods in 1956. By then the name of his daughter was so widely recognized that Consolidated Foods adopted it as the new name of their corporation, hiring him to be their CEO.

• Charles retired in 1965 and died in 1988 at the age of 84, by which time the company’s products were well on their way to being sold around the world. Shortly after his death, his daughter became a spokesperson for the corporation that was named after her. And her own daughter (Charles’ granddaughter) even interned at the factory. What was the name of Charles’ daughter, now on packages of frozen desserts all over the world? Answer: Sarah Lee. • Continental Bakeries made a variety of items under the Hostess brand in the 1920s and 1930s. One of them was a strawberry shortcake, composed of a singleserving oblong sponge cake injected with strawberry cream filling. The problem was that strawberries were a seasonal item, available only a few months of the year. The rest of the year, the equipment used to make the cakes sat idle. • While delivering a load of strawberry cakes to a vendor one day, company vice-president James Deware decided what he needed was a product that would use this equipment all year. Finally he hit on banana cream cakes because bananas were available year-round. • He called them Little Shortcake Fingers, and a nickel bought a package of two. A few years later on the way to a marketing meeting, his eye fell on a billboard advertising a brand of shoes, and he adapted that name for the product. • Originally the cakes were made with eggs, milk, and butter, which gave them a shelf life of only a day or two before becoming stale. It was expensive to have salesmen constantly replenishing store shelves, so the recipe was reformulated, giving them a shelf life of three to four weeks, mostly due to the airtight cellophane packaging.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* “Got leftover cake? Freeze it!" At my daughter’s birthday party we had a really delicious cake, but almost half of it went uneaten. It seemed a shame to throw it away and too gluttonous to eat it all before it spoiled, so we decided to freeze it in slices. It froze perfectly, icing and all, and we were able to enjoy it several more times over the following month.” -- Amy in Florida * Early spring is a great time for garden clean-up chores. Remove dead or damaged limbs on trees and shrubs. Remove suckers at the base of plants. Spruce up your garden beds to get them ready for annuals. * “To make gluing easier when crafting, I pour an entire bottle of white school glue into a glass mason jar with lid. I use paintbrushes to do my paper crafts, as the glue spreads well with a brush. If I am unable to use a brush, I use a straw to capture glue and “drop” it on other projects. The straw makes it easier to get the glue into cracks or small spots as necessary. Just put a straw down in the glue, cover the open end with your finger, remove it from the jar and position the glue end of the straw where it needs to go, then remove your finger.” -- J. in Maryland

The Power of Nonverbal Communication

Studies have shown that the communication process has been broken down to 7% spoken word, 38% voice tone and intonation, and 55% nonverbal. This means that 93% of communication is separate from the spoken word. Imagine that all the texts and emails we send as spoken word has a 93% chance of being misunderstood. Here is another amazing stat for you. 85% of conflict is a result of a misunderstanding. No wonder our personal and corporate communication is a mess. It seems like the virtual wave of communication is now done thru texting. My son even asked a girl to be his girlfriend via texting and broke up with her a week later via texting. When we interact with others, we continuously give and receive wordless signals. All of our nonverbal behaviors, the gestures we make, the way we sit, our posture, our space, how fast or how loud we talk, how close we stand, how much eye contact we make, our facial expressions, our touch, our intensity, our timing—send strong messages. These messages don’t stop when you stop speaking either. Even when you’re silent, you’re still communicating nonverbally. The ability to understand and use nonverbal communication, or body language, is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

--There’s so much we can do with the new smartphones. But just because we can doesn’t mean we should. A study from the Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago-Kent College of Law revealed that a great many mobile health apps were sharing private medical information with third parties without the user being aware. Granted, for those of us with health conditions to monitor, a phone app can be handy to keep us on track. Sometimes our physicians recommend it. Some apps are even approved as prescriptions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Specifically the study focused on Android diabetes apps and looked at whether there was indication that private information was being disclosed to third parties. (Android has the biggest market share of phone operating systems.) Researchers found over 270 diabetes apps and chose 75 of them to monitor for transmission analysis. Within six months, 60 of those apps were no longer available. Of the group remaining, 81 percent didn’t even have a privacy policy. Of the ones that had privacy policies, only four would even ask if information could be shared. Of the 75 chosen for transmission analysis, there was a wide variety of information sent off to third parties: 86 percent placed tracker cookies in the app, and most of them shared information whether they had a privacy policy or not. Of the apps that actually had privacy policies, only 12 asked for the user’s permission before sending off their data to others. Ten shared the information with business partners, and 16 used the information for ads. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act bars medical staff from disclosing your private information to others, but it doesn’t cover phone apps. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
