beverage, the Pepsi company released a new product in 1989 called “Pepsi AM,” which contained twice the caffeine as regular Pepsi. Going head to head against a cup of coffee, it was designed to give the user extra pep and energy in the morning. But they found in short order that people just don’t want to drink Pepsi with their bagels and donuts, and that people tend to prefer hot drinks with their breakfast.

And because the product was named “Pepsi AM” people didn’t think about drinking it at other times during the day.

• Someone in the H.J. Heinz Company figured that if red ketchup was good, green ketchup, therefore, would be even better! Called EZ Squirt, the new product was released in 2000, followed shortly after by purple ketchup and blue ketchup. They followed that with Mystery Color, which could be purple, orange, or teal. Special nozzles made it easy to draw colored pictures or write words when dispensing the product. The colored ketchup was popular at Food Fails: Turn to page 3

• In 1968, researchers for Procter & Gamble were experimenting with fats that could be easily digested by premature infants in order to help tiny babies gain weight more quickly. Their method was to fiddle with sucrose molecules, manipulating them into configurations that they hoped would be easier for delicate digestive systems to absorb. However, no matter how much of the substance they fed to babies, the babies failed to gain weight.

• However, a few caveats were also discovered.

One problem was that Olestra tended to bond with fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, and vitamin A, and flush them out of the body. Extra vitamins were added to the products that used Olestra in order to counteract this vitamin loss. But the main problem lay in the fact that since the fat was not absorbed, it too was flushed from the body, sometimes in an uncontrollably messy way.

The FDA subsequently required warning labels cautioning consumers about possible side effects such as gastrointestinal upset.

But it wasn't until Heinz produced 25 million more bottles of the stuff that they discovered to their horror that the novelty had immediately worn off. The unsold replacement bottles grew dusty on the grocery shelves, and they were all eventually shipped back to Heinz.

• In 2002, Ore-Ida, also owned by the Heinz company, thought that a brilliant way to expand their potato empire was to release a line of new products called “Funky Fries.” Instead of munching only on boring French fries, you could have Kool Blue French fries, or Cocoa Crispers (chocolate-flavored fries) or Cinna-Stiks (cinnamon-covered fries). It turned out, however, that blue fries look repulsively moldy, chocolate fries turned everyone off, and cinnamon fries were so cloyingly sweet that they were more like a candied dessert than an entrée. By 2003, this line of new potato products had been withdrawn from the shelves. Yet, for a brief time in history, it was actually possible to squirt blue ketchup on green fries.

A: The other bonus to working

with an advanced panel like SunPower is that each panel produces more energy because of a patented technology, so you don’t need as many on your roof in order to offset all of your energy needs. Your savings are also maximized over the life of your system or agreement. And if you choose to lease your system, you won’t pay anything down and installation is free. With Renova and SunPower, your payments are fixed for 20 years so you can lock in your savings, even while electric rates continue to rise for everyone else.

Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system.

Stuck Indoors? Try Photography

Since I live in a harsh northern climate, the most fun I’ve had this winter is studying digital photography as I stay home avoiding the cold weather and the crowds - and the flu. Setting up indoor studios, experimenting with lighting on vintage glassware and corralling the pets for a photo shoot -- it’s been a great way to occupy my time with something constructive and develop a new hobby.

Why photography? It can strengthen our memory as we need to remember settings and pay attention to composition. It can give us pleasure and raise self-esteem as we (and others) appreciate our results. Photography is art, and it awakens our creativity. Best of all, for now, it can be done indoors, even snow scene shots taken through the window!

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

More Questions About Benefit Start Dates Q:

I will be turning 70 in July 2018.

I wanted to delay starting my Social Security benefits until then. When should I apply? And will I get any retroactive benefits?

A:

You should sign up for Social Security benefits two to three months before you want your benefits to start. You said you wanted to wait until age 70, in other words, July, to start your Social Security. So you should get the application ball rolling sometime in April or May. You can do that by calling 800-772-1213 to set up an appointment to file by phone or in person at your local Social Security office. Or you can file online.

You asked about retroactivity. Of course, there wouldn’t be any retroactive benefits if you want your benefits to begin when you are 70. You will simply start getting your first check in August. (Social Security checks always come one month behind. So the July check will be paid to you in August.)

But you do have other choices that would involve retroactive benefits. Any Social Security claim filed after full retirement age comes with the option of up to six months of retroactive payments.

So, for example, if you waited until July when you are 70 to file, instead of starting your benefits then, you could say you want to use January as your start date. Then you would get a retroactive check.

That’s the good news. The bad news is your ongo-

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

ing monthly benefit rate would be smaller. Instead of getting 132 percent of your basic Social Security benefit that would be payable at age 70, you would get about 128 percent. So you would just have to decide if you want that big back paycheck, or if you’d rather have an extra 4 percent for the rest of your life.

I will be 66 on March 22, 2018.

I heard I have to be age 66 for a full calendar month before I can get my first Social Security check. Is this true?

72 month’s worth of interest since my retirement benefits started six years ago. Will the government ever repay me?

A:

I don’t follow your logic and I don’t think the government owes you anything. First of all, are you really banking and saving your Social Security check trying to earn interest? I think most of us are using that check to pay the mortgage or to make a car payment or buy groceries. In other words, we’re spending the money, not letting it sit in a savings account.

Second, even if you were investing every

No, it’s not true. The government has nickel of your Social Security benefits, I could see never prorated Social Security benefits. As I’ve explained in past columns, this can be bad news when where you could make an argument that you lost ina person dies. The law says you must be alive for an terest (and let’s be honest, probably about a penny) entire month to get a Social Security check for that on your first Social Security payment. You got your month. So, for example, if someone died on March check a few weeks later than other people with an 22, the March benefit check (payable in April) would earlier-in-the-month birth date. But after that first check, you got all subsequent checks every 30 days have to be returned.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My adult daughter contracted ringworm or some other fungus from her beautiful Border Collie. She has been using over-the-counter meds on the two of them for over 10 months! The dog is doing better than my daughter. Any solutions to get rid of this once and for all? -- E.B.

M.D.

Blisters May Need Medication for Life

DEAR DR. ROACH: A year ago, I broke out with pimples on my back, arms and thighs. They itched so badly I thought I would go mad. A dermatologist took a biopsy and told me it was an autoimmune disease called bullous pemphigoid. I was started on prednisone and doxycycline. When it cleared up, I would stop the medication, but it came back. The doctor said she thinks I’ll have to take medication for the rest of my life. I don’t like taking this medication, as it blurs my eyesight and I lose energy. I also have osteoporosis. I do take some vitamins. -- G.B.

ANSWER: Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune disease that causes blisters, mostly in older adults. The blisters are large and tense (as opposed to pemphigus, an even more dangerous autoimmune disease, in which the blisters are soft). Bullous pemphigoid tends to come and go over months or even years. Diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy.

ANSWER: Ten months is too long to treat something empirically. It’s time to find out what this fungus might be, and that means a visit to a dermatologist, who can do a culture of the infection to find out what it is. There are some unusual fungi that can be passed from animals (dogs, cats, pigs, horses, cattle) to humans and cause skin infection. Rarely is systemic treatment necessary.

LONG-TERM CARE

The usual treatment for bullous pemphigoid is a corticosteroid, either topical or systemic.

Since it was over such an extended area of your body, your dermatologist decided on systemic, at a moderate dose of 20 mg. Prednisone has many long-term side effects, including making your osteoporosis much worse. Further, I am concerned that the blurry vision could indicate • the onset of diabetes or a cataract, as both are • strongly associated with chronic steroid use.

Same-Day Urgent Care at All VA Facilities?

The Department of Veterans Affairs has just announced that all 1,000 of its facilities are available for same-day care for primary or mentalhealth needs.

That sounds great. But there are caveats.

Same-day care doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll go in that day. There is a protocol to determine just how urgent your case actually is. You might get a real visit, or you might get advice from a nurse, a telehealth or video visit, an appointment to see a specialist or a prescription filled that day, or you might get an email. Same-day care also applies only to days and times that a facility is open.

To learn more about the process of getting urgent care, go to www.accesstocare.va.gov.

Check the Frequently Asked Questions while you’re there. You’ll see a list of locations with the hours and days each facility is open (some are MondayFriday only, with regular business hours), as well as the services they provide.

Also, in the FAQ, note the way nonurgent wait times are calculated. If you want an appointment and they can’t fit you in for six days, your wait is six days. OK, that’s fair. If, on the other hand, you are a returning patient whose physician has requested you return at a certain time, the wait time is calculated as days between the requested date and the date they can actually get you in. They give this example: Your doctor wants you back in 30 days, but they can’t fit you in until 45 days, then your wait time is 15 days.

Medi-Cal Planning

Certain medications, such as the doxycycline she started you on, can reduce your need for steroids. Other medications used for autoimmune disease can further reduce the need for steroids, but azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate and others have serious side effects of their own. Nicotinamide, also called vitamin B-3, can make the doxycycline more effective.

Issue 7

If you really want immediate care and can’t get it, the FAQ lists more options, including mobile medical units, mobile vet units, vet centers, walkin clinics and emergency rooms. Check your area now so you’ll know your options in advance should you ever need urgent care. * * *
