MILK

by Janet Spencer On May 14, 1853, a patent application for commercially condensed milk was received, having been sent by a pioneer in milk technology, a man whose first name was Gail. Come along with Tidbits as we drink milk!

CONDENSING MILK

• When a man named Gail was travelling by ship from England to America in the 1850’s, cows were on board to provide milk for babies. The ship rocked so much that the cows could not produce milk, and several infants died. Gail knew there must be a way to preserve milk so it could be used on long voyages.

• He knew that the religious sect known as Shakers used vacuum pans to preserve fruits, so he moved to a Shaker community in New York to use their equipment.

Adapting their methods, he perfected a way of preserving milk in a can, calling it condensed milk.

• He had a hard time marketing it because it was more expensive than fresh milk, and housewives thought real milk was better than canned milk. It didn’t catch on until the Civil War made it essential to get unspoiled food to soldiers. After the war, thousands of soldiers went home and introduced their wives to condensed milk.

Gail’s company thrived and is still going strong today. The company is named after Gail’s last name. What was his last name? Answer on next page.

CONDENSED MILK, cont’d Gail’s last name was Borden. Incidentally, Gail Borden was distantly related to Lizzie Borden of axe fame who supposedly murdered her parents.

FACT

8 ounces of condensed milk has 982 calories; evaporated milk has 338; whole milk has 150; 2% has 121; 1% has 102; cultured buttermilk has 99; and skim milk has 86.

MILK SAFETY

• Germs responsible for transmitting tuberculosis, typhoid fever, cholera, and scarlet fever live in cow manure. When the cow kicks up the manure, the germs land on the teats. If they are not washed before milking, the germs go in the milk. In the 1890’s scientists finally had the evidence they needed to prove that outbreaks of these diseases came from contaminated milk.

• Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization just at that time. In pasteurization, milk is heated briefly to kill organisms without damaging or changing the milk. In 1891 in New Jersey the first milk plant to install a pasteurizer was exhibited as a modern marvel. Dairymen opposed the new technology for many reasons. They claimed it was unhealthy to alter milk this way; that the extra expense involved would send the price of milk prohibitively high; and that unscrupulous dairymen would rely so much on the pasteurizer to clean their milk that they would let their cattle and barns become filthy. Children, they claimed, were better off drinking live bacteria in real milk than dead bacteria in altered milk.

• Teddy Roosevelt ordered the Public Health Service to do a study. They concluded that pasteurization did not alter milk in any way except to kill all deadly germs.

The following year, Chicago became the first city to require all milk sold to be pasteurized.

MILK SAFETY (cont’d)

• Opponents of pasteurization went to court, arguing that requiring pasteurization interfered with free trade. Chicago courts repealed the ordinance. In 1911, the American Medical Association came out in favor of pasteurization, and New York City ordered all milk pasteurized. Milk producers, arguing hardship, managed to get enough loopholes in the law that it was essentially still legal to sell raw milk.

But in 1913 when an epidemic of typhoid hit New York due to unsanitary milk, the loopholes were closed. Eventually all cities followed suit. Infant mortality dropped drastically. Today the milk we drink rarely sees either light or air between the time it leaves the cow and the time it enters your glass.

QUICK BITS

• In the 1930’s each milk bottle had an average life span of 35 round trips between dairy and home.

• Before World War II, about 80% of milk was delivered directly to the door.

Gas rationing hastened the end of that practice and people started buying their milk at the store.

• Homogenized milk is milk that has been treated to prevent the cream from rising to the top. The milk has been forced through a fine mesh which breaks up the globules of fat which remain suspended in the milk instead of rising. It has nothing to do with purity.

• Unfortified milk has only tiny traces of vitamin D. Vitamin D is found naturally in egg yolk and fish liver oil, but nowhere else.

• Iron is added to many foods, but it is not added to milk because iron-fortified milk turns coffee green.

• Sheep milk was popular in medieval England, and a sheep dairy was called a ‘wich.’ The name survives in many village names such as Greenwich, Norwich, and Sandwich.

• Milk contains lactose sugar. In order to digest it, people have to produce an enzyme called lactase in their digestive tract. Babies produce this necessary enzyme naturally until they are about six. After that, their bodies continue to produce lactase only if they continue to eat milk products regularly.

• If a person goes for a long period without eating milk products, they lose the ability to digest milk and will suffer from stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea if they try to drink milk again. In many parts of the world where cattle were never domesticated, entire races of people lost the ability to digest milk and many cultures still believe that milk products are unclean and unhealthy.

Today lactase is available in tablet form for people who suffer a deficiency of it but still enjoy eating milk products.

COLIC CONNECTION

• 20% of infants suffer from a little understood disorder called colic. This causes sustained uncontrollable fits of crying in the baby. A recent study has turned up evidence that colic may be caused by intolerance to certain antibodies produced in the cow and passed to the baby through the milk. But some babies suffer from colic even when they are fed exclusively human milk. Researchers theorized that these cow antibodies are passed to the baby through mother’s milk.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● It was Danish physicist Niels Bohr who made the following sage observation: “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” ● It was in 1954 that the first TV dinner was introduced. ● When Walter Chrysler started his own automobile manufacturing company in 1925, after having been employed by Buick and the Overland Motor Company, he insisted that all of the cars turned out by his company be oversized. It seems that Chrysler was a large man and wanted to be sure he could fit comfortably into any of the models produced in his name. ● You might have heard that the band on the doomed ocean liner Titanic played music on the deck while the ship sank. But you probably don’t know what song they were playing at the very end. According to witnesses, it was a popular British waltz called “Autumn.”

● If you’re planning a trip to Sweden, keep this point of law in mind: In that country, it’s illegal to teach a seal to balance a ball on its nose. ● In 1983, a Polish director named Zbignew Rybcyznski won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short. After he had been presented with his award, he stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. When he tried to re-enter, a security guard wouldn’t let him in because the guard believed anyone wearing sneakers with a tuxedo couldn’t be an attendee of the august Academy Awards. Incensed, Rybcyznski kicked the guard and landed himself in jail. ● Pigeons have the distinction of being only birds that don’t have to raise their heads to swallow when they drink water.

JAMES KRAFT

• James Kraft was born on a dairy farm near Stevensville, Ontario, Canada in 1874, the second of eleven children. He went to work in a local grocery store at the age of 18, and later moved to Buffalo, New York, where he invested in a cheese factory. The company sent him to Chicago to manage a branch of the firm.

While he was there, he was ousted from the company. With only $65 to his name, James Kraft needed to do something to survive, but cheese was the only business he knew.

• At the time, selling cheese was a dicey business. Because there was no refrigeration, cheese melted in the summer heat and rotted quickly. Many merchants refused to carry cheese because the quality was iffy and the shelf life was short. In 1903, Kraft invested his $65 in a horse and wagon, and began buying cheese early in the morning and selling it to merchants before the heat of the day could spoil it. Profits were plowed back into his own dairy herd, and he spent his spare time experimenting with cheese, certain that there must be a way to pasteurize cheese the same way milk was pasteurized.

• The problem was that heating cheese caused it to separate into oils and solids, rendering it unpalatable. However, Kraft eventually discovered that if he shredded the cheese first, and stirred it quickly while heating it, the growth of mold and bacteria would stop, and the resulting product was tasty and shelf-stable. It did not require refrigeration and could be shipped long distances.

• Competing cheese producers insisted that Kraft label his product as ‘embalmed cheese’ because the aging process had been stopped.

Federal regulations later ruled that his product be labeled as ‘processed cheese.’

• The company opened its first cheese factory in Illinois in 1914, distributing 30 kinds of cheese. In 1915, Kraft sold $5000 worth of cheese. By 1916, sales had risen to $150,000.

During World War I, Kraft supplied American forces with 6 million pounds of cheese, and soldiers were introduced to his product. By 1926, the Kraft Canadian organization was making 25 million five-pound boxes per year in British Columbia.

• Meantime, the company kept introducing new products: Velveeta in 1928, Miracle Whip in 1933, macaroni and cheese in 1937, Parkay margarine in 1940, sliced processed cheese in 1950, and Cheez Whiz in 1952.

In 1933, Kraft started packaging cheese spreads in a container that could be used as a drinking glass when emptied. Hand-painted and nicely designed, the glasses were called Swankyswigs. In the first year following their introduction, sales rose 601% and 94.3% of women who purchased the spreads reported that they were saving the glasses. Today Swankyswigs are collectible items.

• “After we are gone,” he wrote, “There will be Kraft salesmen trekking the veldt of Africa, braving the snows of Siberia and battling the superstitions of Mongolia -- all earnestly striving to increase sales, which by that time will be far in excess of a hundred million.”

He wasn’t far from the truth, as Kraft is now the second largest food conglomerate on the planet, after Nestles.

• James Kraft died in 1953, by which time Canada had become the world’s biggest consumer of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.

TNT for Life

When I think of TNT, I think of explosive power. I live very close to a rock quarry where I hear the TNT explode the hardened rocks that are immobile. It is no different than the hardened hearts of us who are paralyzed and immobile as a result of pain/ fear in our lives. The first words Jesus spoke to His disciples while they were frozen in fear were: “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” John 21-23 The first use of the Power of the Holy Spirit is to forgive. Forgiveness is the TNT (The New Testament) to loosen hardened hearts. Too many of us are frozen in fear or holding others hostage because of an injustice done to us. The pain/fear keeps us miserable and unable to move forward. Trust in Jesus’ words, receive the Holy Spirit, and forgive those who have offended you. Offer mercy as it has been offered to you. Forgiveness is the TNT for life.

Remember: Green Tea, Coffee and Exercise

It might be possible to enhance your cognitive functions and your muscles at the same time. All you’ll need is a thermos of green tea or coffee to carry with you to the gym.

Swiss researchers have discovered that green-tea extract helps working memory, and they have the results to prove it.

For the study, they had male volunteers drink a soft drink that had green-tea extract in it, and then do memory tasks.

What they discovered in MRIs taken afterward is that the tea extract caused “increased connectivity between the parietal and the frontal cortex of the brain.” The results of the memory tasks improved as well. The possibilities for the future are that green tea could be used in treatment of dementia.

If green tea isn’t a drink you enjoy, try coffee in your thermos. Researchers at Johns Hopkins discovered that caffeine is a memory enhancer, too, and works for at least a whole day, 24 hours. In the lab, researchers provided placebos (they contain nothing) or actual caffeine tablets (equal to a cup or two of coffee) before having participants review images. A day later they were tested on their memory of images, some of which they’d seen the day before. Researchers found a “deeper level” of memory retention than in previous studies where the caffeine was given first and were therefore able to call the caffeine a memory enhancer.

Add in exercise, and you have an additional way to keep your brain healthy. Researchers studied women between the ages of 70 and 80 and learned that aerobic exercise increased the size of the brain in the hippocampus, the area involving memory and learning, or at the very least, the exercise slowed any shrinking of that area.
