TIDBITS® TAKES

VITAMINSby Janet Spencer

There are 13 di� erent vitamins, all of which are essential for human life. Come along with Tidbits as we take our vitamins!

AN ESSENTIAL ROLE• � e human body is composed of a series of

complex chemical reactions. � ese 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. � e more photosynthesis a plant has going on, the higher the level of vitamins will be contained in that plant. � is is why light colored vegetables like iceberg lettuce have lower levels of vitamins than dark-colored vegetables like kale and spinach.

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 � rst experience night blindness and then go blind entirely. � is problem is particularly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. � e 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 de� ciency.

• 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. � e 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.

• � e 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 de� ciency.

VITAMIN C• Vitamin C is necessary for the production of

collagen. Collagen is the protein that forms connective tissues that hold our bodies together. � e 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 su� ering 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 di� erent remedy to try to cure them. � e 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 signi� cance of this discovery and scurvy continued to plague sailors for many decades to come.

VITAMIN D• Vitamin D is not naturally available in very many

foods. � e best sources are fatty � sh 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.

HOLLYWOOD -- Tom Cruise wants his Mummy! Not long ago we suggested that the 53-year-old superstar should stop making action �lms and return to making movies like “Born on the Fourth of July” (1990), “Jerry Maguire”

(1996) and “Magnolia” (1999), for which he received Oscar nominations. Now instead of the tall buildings and fast-moving vehicles, he’ll be chasing a mummy -- and mummies don’t run very fast.Universal Studios has long wanted to reboot its “Mummy” franchise, which started in 1932 with Boris Karlo�. �ere were seven “Mummy” �lms made between 1999 and 2015, ending with the four “Scorpion King” movies. Tom Cruise gets his “Mummy” come July 2017.Meanwhile, “Beautiful Mind” Oscar-winner Russell Crowe has signed on to play “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (for which Fredric March won an Oscar in 1931). He’s currently onscreen in the comedy “�e Nice Guys,” with Ryan Gosling, Matt Bomer and Kim Basinger.Hollywood bigwigs have voted Johnny Depp the actor

they’d most like to be invisible, so now he’ll play “�e Invisible Man,” opening in April 2018.

Woody Allen’s new �lm, “Cafe Society,” narrated by Allen and starring “�e Heartbreak Kid,” Oscar-nominee Jeannie Berlin (daughter of Elaine May), Steve Carrell, Jesse Eisenberg, Blake Lively and Kristin Stewart, opens July 15. It is his is 47th �lm, and his �rst shot with a Sony CineAlta F65 digital camera. Remember when Allen said he’d only shoot in Europe because the U.S. was too expensive? Well, he must have gotten fantastic tax breaks and discounts, because this �lm was shot in the streets of Los Angeles and Brooklyn.

Who’d ever imagine that wrestling star Dwayne “�e Rock” Johnson would become one of the most successful �lm stars of this decade? In 2014, his “Hercules” �lm cost $100 million and grossed $245 million, while Kellen Lutz’s “Legend of Hercules,” from the year before, cost $70 million and only grossed $61 million. “Furious 7” followed in 2015 at a cost of $190 million and grossed $1.5 billion, while “San Andreas” cost $110 million and grossed $447 million. Now he’s teamed up with Kevin Hart (“Ride Along 2” cost $40 million and grossed $122.6 million) for another kind of ride-along �lm, “Central Intelligence,” arriving June 17. “Fast 8” is due April 14, and then it’s back to the beach for “Baywatch,” playing the role that made David Hasselho� famous, due May 2017. And you thought the only Rock in movies was Rock Hudson!“Sharknado the Fourth Awakens” is hitting TV screens in July, with Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and David Hasselho� in jeopardy again. With every “Sharknado” �lm, I can see my shark’s tooth and sharkskin suit going up in value!(c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

the citizens who survived it. � ey were not surprised to � nd 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. � ey su� ered from higher rates of depression, cardiovascular problems, and type 2 diabetes. But researchers were very surprised to � nd that these negative e� ects extended not only to the children but also to the grandchildren of the people who had been involved. � e 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 su� ered 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. � e 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 in� uences 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 don’t always lay their eggs in ponds:

• � e 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. � e tadpoles develop into frogs there.

• One kind of poison dart frog lays eggs on moist vegetation, and then watches over the eggs until

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. � e 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 o� 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. � e 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 � nd out how that period of starvation a� ected

the tadpoles hatch. � en the young crawl up on the backs of either parent and are literally glued in place by a mucous secretion. � ey are attached there for more than a week, until the parent can � nd a pool to release them. � e 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. � e 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.

• � e 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.

• � e male midwife toad will wrap the long sticky strands of eggs around his legs, hopping around with them until they are ready to hatch. � en he deposits them in the water.

• � e eggs of the leopard frog are white on one side and black on the other. � e 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. � e 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 � nding 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 � rst federal law concerning food and drugs. � e law was strengthened and bolstered in 1938, closing many loopholes and putting the burden upon the manufacturers to prove their products were safe and e� ective.

• 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 e� ects. Manufacturers are not required to prove that their product is safe or e� ective before releasing it on the market. � ere is little the FDA can do about that.

• � e only time the FDA has been successful in pulling a dangerous supplement o� 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 di� erent 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.

• � e 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 � ber 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 o� ers other bene� cial compounds.

• Associations such as the American Cancer Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Association recommend that healthy people without nutritional de� ciencies 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 e� ect whatsoever on their cognitive functions or their risk of heart attack. 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 di� erent 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 certi� cation for their dog, � erapy Dogs International is a highly accepted certi� cation. -- Ed A., Indiana

DEAR ED: Many thanks for the tips! It’s de� nitely important to do your homework and learn as much as you can before submitting your dog and yourself as a therapy dog and handler. Di� erent facilities may need additional clearances -- not just a certi� cation from a therapy-dog organization, but health checks for the owner/handler and background checks.� erapy 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. � ey don’t have to take any speci� c 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 di� erent testing and certi� cation process with di� erent, often more stringent, requirements.

* 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 � ne-toothed comb to get rid of what’s leftover. � e 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.

* To keep your kitchen trash can smelling sweet naturally, put three drops of eucalyptus or cinnamon oil on a cotton ball and drop it the bottom of the can.

* What’s the right way to fold towels? So your folded towel uses the depth of the shelf it’s stored on. � at way, you can store the maximum towels per shelf.

* Do you have a large assortment of di� erent colored cupcake liners? Store them in a mason jar. You’ll be able to see what you have at a glance, and they � t perfectly inside a wide-mouth jar.
