TIDBITS® TAKES

VITAMINS

by Janet Spencer There are 13 different vitamins, all of which are essential for human life. Come along with Tidbits as we take our vitamins!

AN ESSENTIAL ROLE

• The human body is composed of a series of complex chemical reactions. These chemical reactions occur with the help of enzymes, and the primary function of vitamins is to help our bodies create those enzymes, and help the enzymes complete their jobs. When the chemical reactions occur, the vitamins get used up and so the body needs more vitamins on a daily basis. Without vitamins, chemical reactions that depend on those vitamins come to a stop and the result can be catastrophic. Vitamins cannot be manufactured inside the human body and must come from food. • Plants manufacture all of the vitamins humans need except for vitamins D, B12, and (to a large extent) vitamin A. Vitamins help a plant with the process of photosynthesis. The more photosynthesis a plant has going on, the higher the level of vitamins will be contained in that plant. This is why light colored vegetables like iceberg lettuce have lower levels of vitamins than darkcolored vegetables like kale and spinach. Cont’d next page!

VITAMIN A

• Vitamin A is found in animal products such as organ meat, full fat milk, butter, and cod liver oil. It’s also present in some vegetables such as dark leafy greens and foods rich in beta carotene such as carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and cantaloupe. But the amount of vitamin A in plants is tiny compared to the amount in animal matter.

• Vitamin A is stored in the liver, so the human body can usually survive up to a year without taking in any vitamin A at all. But after that, a person who is not receiving any vitamin A will first experience night blindness and then go blind entirely. This problem is particularly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The World Health Organization estimates that between 500,000 and a million children go blind every year, and up to 90% of those children die of complications related to their vitamin deficiency. • Today, over 70 countries have programs to deliver vitamin A supplementation to its populations in order to reduce child mortality and blindness.

VITAMIN B

• Pregnant women need to get enough B9 (also called folic acid) or their child runs the risk of being born with neurological damage. The amount of B9 that is needed each day during pregnancy is equal to about the weight of 4 grains of salt. Beans, lentils, and spinach are high in vitamin B9. • The amount of vitamin B12 needed each day is even less than that, equivalent to 1/67th of a single grain of salt. But without that tiny amount, the result is memory loss, depression, nerve damage, and anemia. Vitamin B12 is primarily present in animal-based foods such as meat and eggs, which makes strict vegans susceptible to deficiency. Cont'd next page!

VITAMIN C

• Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen. Collagen is the protein that forms connective tissues that hold our bodies together. The word collagen comes from the Greek word for glue. Without collagen, the body breaks down, an illness called scurvy. • Between the time Columbus landed in the New World in 1492 and the time steam engines made ocean travel speedy in the mid-1800s, it’s estimated that over 2 million sailors died of scurvy. On any given voyage, about half of the sailors would die of scurvy, which was more than died of shipwreck, combat, storms, and diseases combined. • James Lind was a Scottish doctor who helped discover the connection between vitamin C and the prevention of scurvy. In 1747 he took 12 sailors who were all suffering from scurvy and divided them into six pairs. All the men ate the same food and lived in the same quarters but he gave each pair a different remedy to try to cure them. The remedies were widely varied and included such things as garlic, seawater, and cream of tartar. But the two sailors whose remedy included citrus fruit recovered from their scurvy so quickly that they were able to assist the doctor in his experiments. Lind largely failed to recognize the significance of this discovery and scurvy continued to plague sailors for many decades to come.

• Vitamin D is not naturally available in very many foods. The best sources are fatty fish such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, and cod liver oil. However, the body is able to synthesize its own vitamin D through exposure to ultraviolet light. When you take a vitamin D pill, the contents of that pill may have originated with lanolin from sheep’s wool. Cont'd next page!

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver * The word “infant” is derived from the Latin word “infans,” which means “unable to speak.” * If you’re a pet owner, you probably know that the epidemic of obesity is not limited to humans; many pets are overweight, too. You might be surprised to learn, though, that some pet owners choose to deal with the problem in a way that we usually associate only with people: liposuction. Yes, you can get cosmetic surgery for your pets. ***Thought for the Day: “I was a late bloomer. But anyone who blooms at all, ever, is very lucky.” -- Sharon Olds (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Many people feel that if a little bit is good, then more must be better, but that is not always the case. The healthiest and safest doses of vitamins are the ones that appear naturally in food. Taking too much vitamin D on a regular basis can eventually cause calcium deposits in places where calcium deposits don’t belong, such as your arteries or kidneys. Excess vitamin D can also interfere with blood clotting. Too much vitamin A can cause liver damage, birth defects, and death in extreme cases. Too much vitamin C can cause kidney stones.

• In World War II the Nazis cut off all supplies headed for Holland. Famine set in quickly. About 22,000 people died of starvation and another quarter of a million were made ill. The average weight loss among the population was about 20% of body weight. Nine months after the famine ended, the birth rate dropped by 50%. • After the war ended, researchers wanted to find out how that period of starvation affected the citizens who survived it. They were not surprised to find that children who had been in the womb when their mothers experienced starvation had increased risk of physical and mental health problems as they grew into adults. They suffered from higher rates of depression, cardiovascular problems, and type 2 diabetes. But researchers were very surprised to find that these negative effects extended not only to the children but also to the grandchildren of the people who had been involved. The grandchildren of the mothers who had experienced starvation also grew up to have higher than normal levels of health problems, all due to famine conditions suffered by their grandparents.

Some things are worth pitching a fit about, and this is one of them, Capricorn. Make a fuss! Organization is crucial to giving a room a real purpose.

Ignorance is bliss in some cases, and this is one of them, Cancer. Don’t pry, or you will wind up with more than you bargained for.

Itching to get started, Aquarius? Go! A youngster makes an unusual request. Fulfill it if you can. Only the best of the best will do at a party.

February 19– March 20

Get cooking, Pisces. Guests are coming, and this time, they’re sticking around for a bit. The web of opportunity continues to build at work.

March 21– April 19

Finances improve with some budget crunching, and your savings account grows. Investing it might prove fruitful. The gig is up at work. Fess up, Aries.

Leaning in the opposite direction, Leo? Admit it. You may be seeing something that others are not. A lawsuit is settled, and the celebration is on!

August 23– September 22 Been there, done that, Virgo. Don’t go there again. Returning a favor proves more difficult than thought. Think outside of the box. A memo ends a mission.

September 23– October 22

Last but not least, Libra. It may take you a while, but you will finish a project, and the results will be outstanding. An email piques your curiosity.

Fake it, Gemini. Everyone else is excited. Don’t rain on their parade. A bond is formed among youngsters. A night out gets the creative juices flowing.

November 22– December 21

Uh-uh, Sagittarius. You are not at fault. Do not take the blame. A loved one continues to spend more than they make. Bailing them out is not the answer.

The Cedar Rapids Police Department had no K-9’s from the 1960’s until 1998. The K-9’s value was found not only in their ability to detect narcotics, track fleeing suspects, locate evidence, search for lost or missing people, and to detect explosives (or rule them out), but also in their ability to win the hearts of children and adults alike by demonstrating that they are just like our family pets when not “working” and with their over-thetop love for something as simple as a tennis ball.

* On June 9, 1772, colonists, angered by the British Parliament’s passing of the Townshend Acts restricting colonial trade, board the HMS Gaspee, an armed British customs schooner, and set it aflame. When British officials arrived to investigate the incident, they found no one willing to identify those involved. * On June 12, 1924, the first Bush president, George Herbert Walker Bush, is born in Milton, Massachusetts. Bush served in the Navy during World War II and survived a harrowing ordeal when his torpedo bomber was shot down over the Pacific. * On June 8, 1948, a hand-built aluminum prototype labeled “No. 1” becomes the first vehicle to bear the name of Porsche. Dubbed the Type 356, the sports car used modified Volkswagen drivetrain components. * On June 7, 1962, the banking institution Credit Suisse opens the first drive-through bank in Switzerland. The branch featured eight glass pavilions, seven outfitted for left-hand drive cars and one for right-hand drive vehicles. * On June 6, 1981, more than 500 passengers are killed when their train plunges into the Baghmati River in India. The rail accident was caused by a Hindu engineer who slammed on the brakes to avoid a cow, considered a sacred animal. * On June 10, 2002, Clint Messina and Rose Houk steal a Krispy Creme doughnut delivery truck and lead Louisiana police on a 15-mile chase, leaving a trail of doughnuts behind. As it involved cops and doughnuts, the incident kept late-night comedians busy for days. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Frogs always croak, right? Wrong. The European tree frog sounds like a quacking duck. Another kind of frog sounds like a cat meowing. • Frogs have no ribs. • A frog closes its eyes by pulling the eyeballs deeper into the sockets, which serves to close the eyelids. • A frog’s tongue is attached to the front of its mouth to give a longer reach. • Do frogs have teeth? Just two tiny teeth in the upper jaw, which keep prey from getting away. • A frog does not need to drink water because it absorbs water through its skin. • A frog’s thigh, shin, and foot are of nearly equal length, to make jumping easier. • A bullfrog with a six-inch body can leap ten times its own body length.

• Tadpoles are generally born being one sex or the other, but environmental influences can change the frog’s sex. If food is scarce or the temperature is not right, the transformation of female tadpoles into male frogs keeps the population down until conditions improve in the pond. • Some frogs have lived for 20 years. One toad lived 36 years.

• If you pick up a frog while you have insect repellent on your hands, the frog will absorb

it through the skin and become very sick. • Handling a toad does not cause warts. • Frogs don’t always lay their eggs in ponds.

• The Malaysian hill frog lives high in the mountains where there are few ponds, so it lays its eggs in damp moss that hangs from trees. The tadpoles develop into frogs there. • One kind of poison dart frog lays eggs on moist vegetation, and then watches over the eggs until the tadpoles hatch. Then the young crawl up on the backs of either parent and are literally glued in place by a mucous secretion. They are attached there for more than a week, until the parent can find a pool to release them. The water loosens the mucous bond, and the young swim free. • Bullfrogs can lay 20,000 eggs at a time. On the other hand, some kinds of dart-poison frogs will lay a single tiny egg in each of the miniature “ponds” that forms when rainwater collects in the base of a leaf. The mother frog will also lay a number of unfertilized eggs next to the fertilized egg so the tadpole will have something to eat when it hatches.

• The eggs of the horned marsupial frog are placed on the mother’s back, where a pouch of skin grows around them to protect them. Tadpoles of the frog hatch and develop in that pouch, completing their development into frogs without ever seeing water. • The male midwife toad will wrap the long sticky strands of eggs around his legs, hopping around with them until they are ready to hatch. Then he deposits them in the water.

• The eggs of the leopard frog are white on one side and black on the other. The white part contains the genetic material; the black part contains a barrier to ultraviolet light. When exposed to light, the egg rotates its black side up, blocking the UV radiation and absorbing heat that helps with incubation.

HAVE • Today, the FDA regulates things such as food, cosmetics, tobacco products, medical devices, veterinarian supplies, pharmaceuticals, and even blood transfusions. However, the FDA is not responsible for testing or approving nutritional supplements. If a particular supplement claims that it will help your arthritis, the FDA is not responsible for testing that hypothesis or for making sure the supplement doesn’t have any side effects. Manufacturers are not required to prove that their product is safe or effective before releasing it on the market. There is little the FDA can do about that.

• The only time the FDA has been successful in pulling a dangerous supplement off the shelves was when it outlawed ephedra, a stimulant that caused over 100 deaths.

• Today there are over 85,000 supplements and vitamins products available for sale in America. About 50% of American adults use some sort of dietary supplement. • In a study done in the year 2013, Canadian researchers tested the ingredients in 44 different supplements and vitamins. Onethird of the products did not contain any amount of the substances listed on their labels whatsoever. Many of the products were nothing more than powdered rice. • The majority of the world’s supply of synthetic vitamins comes from China, which exports about 200,000 tons of vitamins per year. • Synthetic vitamin A comes from acetone and formaldehyde. Synthetic niacin (vitamin B3) is made using a synthetic fiber that is also used in carpets and conveyor belts. Synthetic thiamine (vitamin B1) comes from coal tar. All synthetic vitamins are chemically identical to natural vitamins available in food, but natural vitamins in food come in a complete package that also offers other beneficial compounds. • Associations such as the American Cancer Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Association recommend that healthy people without nutritional deficiencies who eat a balanced diet avoid taking any multivitamins at all. It’s not because the vitamins are harmful, it’s just that they are unnecessary. However, pregnant women should take extra doses of folic acid, elderly women should take a daily dose of calcium, and vegans should supplement their diet with vitamin B12. • A study published in the year 2012 which followed 15,000 middle-aged doctors found that none of the doctors showed any improvement in their risk of cancer when they took high doses of vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene. High doses of vitamins also had no effect whatsoever on their cognitive functions or their risk of heart attack.

THE POWER OF SANDPAPER

Sandpaper has a purpose to smooth out roughness. The grain used depends on the surface that needs to be sanded and smoothed. The greatest reward from a relationship is not what we get out of it but what we become through it. If we can focus on conflict as a chance to grow rather than the pain and bleeding from the process we can become mature and complete through it. The struggles we have in life make our surface very rough. The relationships we have not only sand our edges us out but they allow us to be smooth for others to come near to. Here are a few things to think about.

► ► ►

View conflict as positive sandpaper The rougher it is the more I can learn Go through the process of sanding knowing t hat the end result is better

ALBEE

--The results of a long-term Swedish study suggest that help for our aging brains might be as close as the vitamin aisle in the drugstore. Vitamin B-12 was shown to slow the rate of brain aging ... probably. Homocysteine, a non-protein amino acid, is the culprit in increasing the rate of brain aging, and vitamin B-12 slows that rate. Between 2001 and 2009, some 500 participants over age 60 were examined and assessed, including medical history, cognitive function and B-12 levels. Brain volume was measured during the study. Higher levels of B-12 seemed to help lower the rate of homocystein. Not all researchers are sold on the conclusions, however. Maybe it’s another lifestyle health factor that’s involved. They do think that trials are warranted, with more in-depth looks at the levels of homocysteine and B-12. At the same time, they point to a previous study with basically the same results, this time with participants over age 70 who already had mild cognitive impairment and received a few vitamins, not just B-12. There was less brain volume loss in those who took the vitamins. In yet another study, B-12 deficiency was associated with cognitive ability difficulty on tests. So where does that leave us? Still unsure about the actual mechanism of vitamin B-12 as it pertains to counteracting loss of brain volume, at least until researchers satisfy their need for longer-term trials with every parameter and detail to their liking. Meanwhile, unless we get the allclear from our doctor to take a vitamin B-12 tablet every day, there are a few additions to our diet that might help, if the study results are true. Sardines and beef liver have more than enough B-12. Even milk and salmon have enough for the daily requirement, as do Swiss cheese and eggs.

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Mazzotta More Resources for Therapy Dogs DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your column about the owner whose therapy dog helps children with a fear of dogs. I also have a Golden Retriever therapy dog, and we have had many success stories. Please tell your readers that organizations have different requirements for therapy dogs to visit their facilities, as well as for the handlers. For example, the hospitals we visit have additional health screening requirements for the handler. If they’re looking for a good certification for their dog, Therapy Dogs International is a highly accepted certification. -- Ed A., Indiana DEAR ED: Many thanks for the tips! It’s definitely important to do your homework and learn as much as you can before submitting your dog and yourself as a therapy dog and handler. Different facilities may need additional clearances -- not just a certification from a therapy-dog organization, but health checks for the owner/handler and background checks. Therapy Dogs International has details on its website about its requirements for therapy dogs, and guidelines and testing information that will give owners a good idea of what they need to do to get their dog ready. For example, dogs have to be at least 1 year old. They don’t have to take any specific therapy-dog classes, but they should have at the very least basic to intermediate obedience skills, a good temperament and up-to-date vaccinations and health records. Owners also need to be aware that therapy dogs are not service dogs -- that is a different testing and certification process with different, often more stringent, requirements.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* Clean your paintbrushes before you begin that spring-cleaning paint job. Bring a few cups of white vinegar to a boil, and soak brushes in the vinegar for up to 20 minutes. Use a plastic scrubbie to remove stuck-on bits, then rinse in cool water. Use a fine-toothed comb to get rid of what’s leftover. The brush should be clean and the bristles nice and soft. * Don’t overlook your own garden and yard when putting together a centerpiece for a backyard BBQ or informal gathering. Herbs make a wonderful bouquet. * You can polish metal with wax paper.

So your folded towel uses the depth of the shelf it’s stored on. That way, you can store the maximum towels per shelf. * Do you have a large assortment of different colored cupcake liners?
