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 dark-colored 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.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING • 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. TOO LITTLE OF A GOOD THING • 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.

Amazing Animals
FROGS
• “Amphibian” comes from the Greek words meaning “two lives” since the frog can live both in the water and on the land. • 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 (15 cm) 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. • S ome 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 (cont’d) • 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.

SUPPLEMENTS & SYNTHETICS Pres. Abraham Lincoln created the United States Bureau of Agriculture which contained within itself the Division of Chemistry. The Division of Chemistry eventually evolved into the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. At the time it was instigated, the Division of Chemistry had exactly one employee who was in charge of things like finding out what vendors were diluting their milk with water, or adding ground up lice to brown sugar, since ground up lice looks just like brown sugar. It wasn’t until the year 1906 that the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed by Congress, the nation’s first federal law concerning food and drugs. The law was strengthened and bolstered in 1938, closing many loopholes and putting the burden upon the manufacturers to prove their products were safe and effective. 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. (cont’d)

SUPPLEMENTS & SYNTHETICS (cont’d) • In a study done in the year 2013, Canadian researchers tested the ingredients in 44 different supplements and vitamins. One-third 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 betacarotene. High doses of vitamins also had no effect whatsoever on their cognitive functions or their risk of heart attack.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of possibilities begin to open up by midweek. Some seem more appealing than others. But wait for more facts to emerge later on before you consider which to choose. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bravo to the determined Bovine. While others might give up, you continue to search for answers. Expect your Taurean tenacity to begin paying off by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to consider stepping back from the task at hand for a while. This could help you get a better perspective on what you’ve done and what still needs to be done. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your keen Cancerian insight should help you determine whether a new offer is solid or just more fluff ‘n’ stuff. The clues are all there, waiting for you to find them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being ignored is difficult for any proud Leo or Leona. But pushing yourself back into the spotlight might be unwise. Instead, let things work themselves out at their own pace. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Trying to uncover a colleague’s secret under the pretext of showing concern is ill-advised. Control your curiosity in order to avoid raising resentment in the workplace.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Expect to hear good news about a loved one. Also, be prepared for some changes in several family relationships that could develop from this lucky turn of events. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprises are expected to accompany a number of changes that will continue through part of next week. At least one could involve a romantic situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might be upset by some of your critics. But most of your associates continue to have faith in your ability to get the job done, and done well. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace goal that suddenly seems out of reach is no problem for the sure-footed Goat, who moves steadily forward despite any obstacles placed in his or her way. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Uncertainty about who is right and who isn’t might keep you from making a clear-cut decision. Wait until you know more about what you’re being asked to decide. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful to keep your emotions in check when dealing with a demanding personal situation. You need to set an example of strength for others to follow. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an extraordinary ability to rally people to do their best. You would be a treasure as a teacher. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
