TIDBITS® TASTES

FLAVORS

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!

• 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 scrunchedup 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.

Fun fact: Recalling a positive memory about vegetables can make the ones on your plate more enjoyable (you'll take a bigger portion too).

• Vanilla comes from the seeds of an orchid flower. It takes 18 months for a blossom on an orchid plant to be turned into vanilla extract. Madagascar, an island nation off the coast of Africa, is one place where vanilla grows in abundance.

"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.

A NEW VANILLA

• 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.

ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING

• In 1965 there were fewer than 700 chemicals that imitated flavors. Today there are over 2,200. • It’s been estimated that every person in America eats about 2 pounds of chemical flavorings every year. • 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. • 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.

IT’S A FACT

• In the years between 1949 and 1959, chemists invented over 400 additives to help preserve and process food. (Continued next page)

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver * An adult human has 60,000 miles of blood vessels. * There was a scientist once who made it his mission to taste as many different kinds of meat as he possibly could. In his opinion, the worst tasting was mole meat. I won’t argue. There probably aren’t very many people who would be willing to gain enough experience in that field to be able to debate the matter. * 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.

• 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.

• Vervets are small monkeys that live in small social groups and communicate by grunting. For years people thought their series of grunts were merely a way of keeping track of where each member of the troop was located. But then two researchers in Kenya began to record the grunts while at the same time videotaping the vervets. Their analysis of the monkeys’ grunting revealed some surprising things. • The vervets have three alarm calls signaling the presence of predators. One signifies eagle; one means leopard; and one designates snake. These three different calls were recorded and then played back to the monkeys on hidden loudspeakers. When the call for eagle was played, every monkey looked to the sky. When the cry for the leopard was played, they looked to the ground. When the warning for snake was played, they looked to the trees. • Next, the researchers studied the grunts vervets made when meeting other members of the group. They found the grunt a vervet makes when meeting a socially superior monkey is different from the grunt it makes when meeting an inferior. There is a different grunt altogether for a monkey from a different tribe. Researchers also isolated the grunt that means a monkey is moving into an open area. • They played a practical joke on one vervet by occasionally playing that monkey’s “Stranger!” call on the loudspeakers when no stranger was present. The other members soon learned the monkey was unreliable because he was always “crying wolf.” They soon learned to ignore him, not only when he legitimately gave his “stranger” call, but also whenever he gave his other calls. • In an experiment in 1962, researchers recorded the sounds a group of baboons made in the wild while storm clouds were gathering. Later the tape was played to a group of captive apes in a zoo. Even though the day was perfectly clear, the apes rushed to shelter as if a storm had been imminent. • Washoe, a chimp at the University of Nevada, learned about 350 words using American Sign Language. She was able to use these words to make up her own terms, such as “drink-fruit” for watermelon; “water-bird” for swan; “white-tiger” for zebra; and “food-drink” for refrigerator. She even taught her adopted chimp son some sign language before she died at the age of 42 in 2007. • Koko, a gorilla taught to use sign language, learned 645 signs by the time she was seven years old and now knows over 1,000 signs. She can also understand about 2,000 words of spoken language. Like Washoe, Koko is also capable of making up her own signs for things she does not know the word for. She made the signs for “finger” and “bracelet” indicating a ring. • A bonobo (pygmy chimpanzee) named Kanzi was being trained to communicate in a lab by using a computer and typing in symbols. Kanzi was shown videos of Koko the gorilla using sign language. Kanzi’s handler was surprised when Kanzi began using sign language after viewing the videos in spite of the fact that sign language had not been part of the curriculum. • An ape named Chantek was learning sign language when his handler gave him a bunch of grapes and indicated that she wanted the ape to share them with her. Chantek ate all the grapes, and handed the empty stem back to his handler.

• In 1802, at the urging of Robert Livingston, U.S. minister to France, Fulton turned his attention to steamboats. After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New York. The Clermont’s first significant trip was from New York to Albany, a distance of approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop. • 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 COMMERCIAL transporting passengers FOR ALL YOUR OR INDUSTRIAL PAINTING & COATING to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton NEEDS subsequently formed andRapids, led a IA company 4003 J Street SW Cedar 52404 offering services on six major rivers and the E-mail: dabunch@qwest.net Chesapeake Bay. 319-399-1735 • 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 by 1834. • 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.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Virtual Medical Care

--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. The illnesses were limited to fairly simple complaints such as lower back pain, sore throat, sinus infection and strep throat. Nearly 600 “virtual” online medical visits were made to eight websites, and the results were checked. Here’s what researchers came up with: * Doctors asked the correct medical history and did physical exams 69 percent of the time. * Patients were given the correct diagnosis 76 percent of the time. * Out of 101 complaints of ankle pain, only 17 recommended X-rays. * Only 83 patients were referred to a health provider, and that was because follow-up care could not be provided on a website. * Researchers found no big difference between the methods of communication, such as videoconference versus telephone. While the jury is still out on the accuracy and safety of virtual medical care, it is becoming big business, with some services aligning with corporations as a way to get fast medical care to employees. Before you decide to use an online site for medical care, determine whether your Medicare Advantage plan will pay for it. Some of them will. If you have an online medical visit, have your file and diagnosis forwarded to your regular doctor. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

HOT PEPPERS

• Columbus was looking for a shorter route to the black pepper supply of India when he discovered the New World. Because he was so desperate to find pepper, everything that he came across which had a hot taste was dubbed ‘pepper.’ That’s why today we have green peppers and chili peppers. These are fruits rather than berries, and their ‘hot’ taste is caused by a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin isn’t really a taste; it’s a pain. Capsaicin stimulates the pain-sensing neurons inside the mouth. • There are 30 species of pepper plants and all belong to the genus Capsicum, which comes from the Greek ‘kapto’ meaning bite or gulp. • The Scoville test for measuring the amount of heat in a hot pepper was developed by Wilbur Scoville. He was working for a pharmaceutical company, trying to make different uses out of plant alkaloids including capsaicin. A rating of 1 million Scoville units means that the extract from that plant must be diluted to a concentration of 1 part per million before its heat dissipates. • A pepper called the Carolina Reaper comes in at 2.2 million Scoville heat

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* “If you have china that has small, fine cracks in it, put it in a pot with enough milk to cover (not fat-free milk) and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. The milk bonds in the cracks and somehow seals it right up.” -- B.I. in Virginia * After each use, clean a grill with aluminum foil. Simply wad up a piece of foil, and use it as a scrubber to remove stuck-on foods. If you’re starting out with a dirty grill, you can still scrub with foil, and give the foil wad a spritz with cooking spray to oil the grate before cooking. (Never spray a lighted grill directly with cooking spray.) * “Here’s a tip to find your car in a large parking lot. Take a photo of your vehicle with a landmark in the background. This can be an entryway or a store, or you maybe the sign that shows the section and floor of the parking garage.” -- A.L. in Texas * A hanging toiletry bag makes a great backseat catch-all in the car on road trips -- especially for kids. Look for one that includes a hook so it can be hung from the front-seat headrest. Snacks, small notebooks and a box of crayons or a portable gaming device and extra games can be stored securely and neatly, then gathered up easily to bring with you to rest stops, diners and motels. If you’re traveling solo, just hang it in the passenger seat to keep your essentials organized and at hand! Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
