Food nourishes your body just like Tidbits nourishes your brain! Get a double helping with these bits and bites that you might not have known about the things we eat and drink!• Did you know there are over 300 different

varieties of honey in North America alone? Honey, a natural energy restorer, was not only used by ancient cultures but it has been found in ancient Egyptian tombs. There have also been discoveries of 4,500 year old Egyptians carvings which are some of the earliest depictions of bee keeping.

• Do you know what a pluot is? It’s a complex hybrid between a plum and an apricot. It’s traits tend to be more plum-like, with a smooth skin. They are very sweet and intense in flavor and very juicy. They are not to be confused with an aprium, which is also a plum/apricot hybrid that is 1/4th plum and 3/4th apricot. Another plum/apricot hybrid is the plumcot. What’s a plum+apricot+peach? That one’s called a Peacotum.

• The island nation of Grenada in the Caribbean was named for the pomegranate. So was grenadine syrup and the grenade. All come from the Latin root word punica granatum,which means pomegranate.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

INTERESTING EDIBLES (continued):• The ancient Egyptians believed that the onion,

with its concentric rings, was a symbol of eternal life. The onion was first introduced to North America with Christopher Columbus in 1492.

• Have you ever wondered just why you well up when you chop an onion? When cut, fresh onions release a gas that irritates the eye, which in turn causes the tear ducts to try and relieve the eye. There are hundreds of tips on how to prevent those unwanted tears. Some cooks suggest running the onion under cold water before cutting.

• Oil and vinegar just go together, even in ancient times, and both have been used by the Italians for centuries. Ancient Roman women would massage olive oil over their pregnant bellies to prevent stretch marks and balsamic vinegar has been produced in Italy since the Middle Ages.

• The word pineapple first appeared in the English language to describe pine cones back in 1398. The fruit itself is a native of Brazil and Paraguay.

• Georgia and Texas are the two major peanut producing states in the U.S. We’re glad to have them when we’re eating our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Did you know it takes 850 peanuts just to make one jar of peanut butter? Now there’s something that will stick to the roof of your mouth!

• More sweet facts: peaches will not get sweeter once they are picked. They will get softer and juicier, but not sweeter.

• Bourbon was made the official spirit of the United States in May of 1964. September 2007 was declared National Bourbon Heritage Month by the U.S. Senate.

INTERESTING EDIBLES (continued):

• How do they do that? The pocket in pita bread is made by steam. It expands through the dough as it cooks. As the bread cools, it flattens, leaving a pocket in the middle!

• What’s the difference between Cajun and Creole? For those outside of Louisiana, it might be a little hard to tell. Creole was first used to describe city cooking with Spanish, African, German, Italian and West Indian influences. Cajun food was country cooking developed by the Acadians who learned to live in the Louisiana swamplands. Creole is more continental and sophisticated where Cajun is more seasoned and hearty.

• The Australian favorite Vegemite celebrated the sale of its one billionth jar in October of 2008. Did you know Aussies call JELL-O jellyand jelly jam?

• Did you know that if you drop a raisin in a glass of champagne or other carbonated beverage it will bounce up and down? So, what’s the reason? Carbon dioxide bubbles are caught in the irregularities on the surface of the raisin. When enough bubbles accumulate, they will lift the raisin to the surface, where the bubbles escape, causing the raisin to sink back down to the bottom. This will repeat so long as there is enough carbon dioxide to lift the raisin again.

• Biscotti refers to a specific type of hard cookie here, however the word biscotti is an all encompassing word for biscuits in Italy.

• British biscuits are what Americans call cookies.

• The first Oreo was sold in 1912, but the modern Oreo with the logo embossed on the cookie didn’t arrive until 1952.

• What are cookies without ice cream? America’s first ice cream parlor opened in 1776 in New York City. What are the top five ice cream consuming countries? That would be the United States, New Zealand, Denmark, Austria and Belgium.

TIDBITS ALL OVER THE WORLD:

BELGIUMWe’re heading back west this week to the small, but mighty country of Belgium. It’s about the size of Maryland and became independent from the Netherlands in 1830. Let’s learn some more about this European nation.• There are two major languages in Belgium:

Dutch and French. 60% of the population speaks the former and 40% speaks the latter.

• Belgian children celebrate Santa Claus in early December, not on Christmas Eve. Sinter Klaasdagor la Saint-Nicolas is celebrated on December 5th. Children put their shoes by the hearth with some water and a carrot for Saint Nicholas’s donkey. He takes the carrot and water, leaving presents for the children and continues on his way.

• The English word spa comes from the Belgian town of the same name. Spa is renowned for its healing hot springs. Agatha Christie’s character Hercule Poirot was born in Spa. Another memorable character from Belgium is Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers series.

• The capital of Belgium is Brussels. The name Brussels comes from the Old Dutch bruocsella,which means “home in the marsh.”

• Martial artist and actor Jean-Claude Van Damme was born and raised in Brussels. He is often referred to as the Muscles from Brussels. He will be 49 on October 18th this year.

• Modern Brussel sprouts were grown as early as the 1200s in Belgium. Production of Brussel sprouts in America didn’t begin until about 1800, when French settlers brought them to Louisiana.

• Herk-de-Stad, Belgium is home to the world’s first beer academy. Over 800 kinds of beer are produced in Belgium each year and the average Belgian consumes 39.6 gals (150 liters) of beer each year!



BELGIUM (continued):

• The saxophone, oil paints and roller skates can all be credited to Belgians! The saxophone was developed by Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in the 1840s, oil paints were invented in Belgium around the 15th century and roller skates were patented by a Belgian inventor named John Joseph Merlin in 1760.

• Belgian waffles were developed by Maurice Vermersch of Brussels. They were first introduced in the U.S. at the 1964 World’s Fair.

• Belgium’s first skyscraper was also Europe’s first skyscraper. It was built in Antwerp, Belgium in 1932. The building is the Boerentoren building and was twenty-six stories tall.

• Another Belgian record: The world’s deepest swimming pool is the Nemo 33, a recreational diving pool in Brussels. At its deepest point in measures 108 ft (33 m).

• Did you know that Belgian chocolatiers produce over 172,000 tons of chocolate each year?

• Belgian fashion designer Stijn Helsen worked on costumes for Spiderman, Pirates of the Caribbean and Seabiscuit. He designed the outfits for Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush in Pirates of the Caribbean.

• The 1920 Olympic Games were a thrice over time of momentous firsts and they all took place in Belgium. The first time the Olympic flag was ever flown was at the 1920 games in Antwerp, Belgium. It was also the first time the Olympic Oath was uttered and the first time doves were released to symbolize peace at the Olympic games.

• The only man-made structure visible from the moon is the Belgian motorway system when it is lit at night.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTHBy Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

Here’s a Solution for Swimmer’s Ear

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: You mentioned a solution to prevent swimmer’s ear. How do you apply it? -- J.R.

ANSWER: The mixture is made with equal parts white vinegar and rubbing alcohol. The alcohol keeps the ear dry. The vinegar pre-vents proliferation of harmful bacteria. One or two drops are instilled in the ear with a dropper and allowed to stay in place for half a minute to a minute. The head is then tilted toward the shoulder to empty the ear canal.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have been diag-nosed with congestive heart failure. Three months after the diagnosis, I began to become fatigued after slight exertion, and was short of breath. I’ve had to have a pacemaker im-planted. I was told I probably have amyloi-dosis, the senile form. Is there any hope of my living a near-normal life? -- L.M.

ANSWER: Amyloid is a protein produced by bone marrow cells. It can infiltrate a number of body organs. Many forms (20) of amyloido-sis exist, and they all have distinctive longev-ity projections. Senile amyloidosis does not affect as many organs as do the other forms of this illness, so that is one thing in your fa-vor. In this illness, when the amount of amy-loid in the heart is great, the heart’s pumping action falters, and congestive heart failure is a consequence. Amyloid deposits often inter-fere with the generation and transmission of the electric signals that regulate heartbeats, so a pacemaker can be needed.I can’t give you a prediction about the length of life. Of course, your life span is bound to be affected, but how greatly, no one can tell with certainty.Lifestyle, physical activity and diet can all be important in limiting how serious conges-tive heart failure can become. To learn more, order the congestive heart failure booklet by writing to: Dr. Donohue -- No. 103W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: In my 58 years, I never have had any problem with my scalp. My hair has turned a salt-and-pepper color. Due to vanity, I have been coloring it for the past several years. I have never experienced any problems. Recently I have had a rash of pimples forming on my scalp at the hair shaft. They hurt when the scalp is touched or the hair brushed.I had a good friend look at my scalp with a magnifying glass, and he says they look like small pimples. He removed a hair with twee-zers and a small discharge came out of the pimple. I am considering letting my hair grow back to its natural color to see if the dye has anything to do with this. Any sugges-tions? -- N.N.

ANSWER: I like your approach. The dye might be irritating your scalp, and the hair follicles might have become infected second-ary to the irritation. If things don’t clear up after going dyeless for a couple of months, have a doctor take a look. You might need an antibiotic prescription.***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to an-swer individual letters, but he will incorpo-rate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
