Which came first, the chicken or the egg? While we may never solve this great debate, Tidbits can keep us informed of some of the interesting facts about each of them, while celebrating May as National Egg Month. It’s believed that the first chickens came to North

America with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage here in 1493. There are now about 200 different breeds, with approximately 280 million laying hens in the U.S., each one producing about 250 to 300 eggs a year. Those seven billion eggs comprise about 10 percent of the world’s supply.

If brown bread is better for you, does that mean that brown eggs are, too? Not at all! There is no nutritional, flavor, or hygienic difference between brown and white eggs. It’s all about what kind of chicken laid the egg. Rust-colored chickens, such as the Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Rock, lay brown eggs, while white eggs are laid by white fowl, such as the White Leghorn. The Leghorn accounts for about 90 percent of North America’s egg-laying chickens.

A hen lays about 300 eggs a year, beginning at 19 weeks of age. The older she gets, the larger eggs she produces. It takes her about 24 to 26 hours to produce an egg. Thirty minutes after one egg is laid, she begins the process all over again.

Most eggs are laid between the hours of 7 and 11 a.m. The hen needs about 5 oz. of food and 10 oz. of water to create one egg.

Farmers can improve egg production just by regulating the lighting in the henhouse. The hens will lay more eggs if they’re fooled into thinking a day is 28 hours long.

The color of an egg yolk is dependent on what the hen eats. Hens consuming yellow corn or alfalfa produce eggs with medium yellow yolks,

For many people, seniors included, weight control is a very important health issue. For most, this means keeping weight down and not gaining excess pounds. But there’s a certain senior group that has a hard time keeping weight on. They eat a few bites and they’re full. Or maybe they eat the wrong foods and then have no energy. Or they have little appetite.

For those who have trouble gaining or keeping on weight, there are two keys to adding pounds.

• Eat calorie- and nutrient-dense foods. These are foods that have more calories and nutrition per bite. Think of it this way: Which has the most calories and nutritional value, a cup of shredded lettuce or a cup of sliced bananas? The lettuce is mostly water. The banana has more calories and nutrients. Now compare a cup of cucumbers to a cup of raisins. Again, the cucumbers are mostly water, while the raisins have more of what the body needs. Also, if you fill up on a soft drink, you can take in hundreds of calories, but there’s no nutritional value.

Other calorie-dense foods that will give more nutrition per bite include peanut or almond butter, beans and rice together and fruit.

• Exercise. Muscles weigh more than fat, and building muscle requires exercise. That doesn’t necessarily mean signing up for a gym membership. Gaining muscle (healthy weight) can sometimes be as easy as daily walking and using small hand weights or resistance bands. Exercise also raises the metabolism, which can increase your appetite so you’ll want to eat a little more.

If your weight is low, ask your doctor if you should talk to a nutritionist to work out a calorie- and nutrient-dense diet that will help you gain a few pounds, but in a healthy way.Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

Thought of the Week“Some people walk in the rain,

others just get wet.” — Roger Miller

z It was British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli who made the following observation: “My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.”z Hunters, take note: The largest deer that ever lived was the Irish elk, which became extinct more than 7,000 years ago. Though it stood a remarkable 7 feet tall at the shoulders, the creature’s most amazing characteristic was its antlers, which could stretch 12 feet from tip to tip and weigh up to 90 pounds. Imagine that rack hanging on your living-room wall!z If you are a parent, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that among the under-18 crowd, strawberries are the favorite fruit, followed closely by grapes and bananas.z Google Earth, the virtual geographic information program, isn’t just a fun thing to fiddle with on your computer; it can be a law-enforcement tool, too.

Just last year, police in Switzerland noticed a cornfield that looked a bit odd; it turns out that the farmer was raising marijuana and had hidden the two-acre plot within his corn fields.z The koala bear, that cute and cuddly icon of Down Under, never drinks water. The critters get all the water they need from the food they eat.z Medical experts say that coconut water has the same pH and electrolyte balance as human blood. In fact, during World War II, doctors who were running low on supplies used coconut water in plasma transfusions.z In 2002, in an effort to be more environmentally friendly, Ireland decided to try to reduce the use of plastic grocery bags by levying a 15-cent tax on each one. It worked, too — use of the bags dropped by 95 percent.

Help Kitty Think Inside the BoxBy Sam Mazzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Regarding the letter from a reader (Frustrated in Philadelphia) whose cat was soiling on top of her bed: I didn’t get the impression that the person was keeping the cat in a cage as a matter of course, but rather was doing that, or considering doing it, as a result of the kitty relieving herself on the bed.

Therefore, I wonder if the kitty wasn’t doing that because of a urinary tract infection or other health problem, or didn’t like the type of cat litter used, the location of the litter box or something else in the home that was probably stressing her.

Just wanted to bring up these possibilities, for what it’s worth. — Jonathan N., Mayer, Ariz.

DEAR JONATHAN: My thanks — advice and suggestions from my readers is always welcome and worthwhile! Frustrated in Philadelphia should certainly discuss the possibility of a health issue, like a urinary tract infection, with her cat’s veterinarian, and bring her in for a

complete checkup.

Litter-box location can be an issue with some cats, as can multiple cats sharing a litter box. An owner dealing with a cat “going” in areas other than the litter box could try placing a clean litter box over the area of the latest mess (after cleaning it up of course) and then gradually move it away and back to a more desirable location.

Cats also react to stresses we humans might not notice or see as a stressful situation. Pay close attention to a cat’s behavior, particularly when it’s exhibiting problem behaviors like soiling outside the litter box, and see if it is reacting to a person, a new item in the home or something else.

WHICH CAME FIRST? (continued):while those who eat feed with wheat or barley yield egg yolks of a lighter color. A yolk can be almost colorless if the hen is fed white corn meal. Since farmers are not permitted to add artificial colors to feed, some add natural yellow-orange materials, such as flower petals.

Although the albumen is also called the egg white, it’s not really white until it’s beaten or cooked. Two-thirds of the egg’s liquid weight is contained in the albumen, as well as more than half of the egg’s protein. The fresher the egg, the cloudier the egg white. This is due to the presence of carbon dioxide inside the egg when it is laid. Since a fresh egg has had less time for the CO2 to escape, the white is cloudy.

There are about 17,000 tiny pores covering an egg’s surface through which the egg can absorb flavors and odors. That’s why it’s important to keep them in a carton. The carton also helps keep them fresh for at least four to five weeks after their pack date. Leaving eggs on the kitchen counter for just one day ages them more than refrigerator storage of one week. Eggs are more likely to dry up than to rot.

A person suffering from alektorophobia is afraid of chickens.

In order to be classified as Extra Large, a dozen eggs must weigh at least 27 oz. A dozen Large eggs must be 24 oz., and Medium, 21 oz. per dozen.

If you crack open a double-yolked egg, it was probably produced by a young hen whose production cycle is not yet controlled. She might also turn out an egg with no yolk at all! Older hens that lay extra large eggs can also produce multi-yolked eggs. In fact, the record-setting egg held nine yolks. Other records set in the egg department include the largest chicken egg ever laid (one pound, with a double yolk and a double

shell), and the most eggs laid by a chicken in a single day (seven).

Having trouble peeling hard-boiled eggs? They will peel more easily if they are at least a week old before being boiled. Can’t remember if an egg is raw or hard-boiled? Try spinning it. If it spins easily, it’s been boiled. A raw egg wobbles.

If you see a grayish ring around the yolk of a hard-boiled egg it’s probably because you cooked it too long. A high iron content in the cooking water can also be a contributor. For best results with hard-boiled eggs, cool them quickly in a bowl of ice water.

One of our favorite pie toppers originated in the Swiss village of Merhrinyghen in 1720. A pastry chef named Gasparini whipped up egg whites and sugar and created what is known as meringue. To make perfect meringue, bake on a dry day. Damp, humid days cause meringue to be limp and sticky. Avoid even the tiniest bit of fat on the bowl and utensils, and take care when separating the eggs, as just the smallest smidgen of yolk can ruin meringue.

Chemists have discovered a use for the nearly four billion pounds of chicken feathers generated each year during poultry processing. A method has been developed for cleaning the feathers and separating them into chopped fibers and quills, and recycling them into a material used in making plastic products. These include thin sheets of cellophane wrap, holders for beverage six-packs, and automobile dashboards.

Although we don’t think of them as birds of flight, chickens can actually fly. The record-setting distance for a non-stop flight is about 230 yards. They can also travel along the ground at about 9 miles per hour.

Those “secret” 11 herbs and spices that go into the making of Kentucky Fried Chicken really are a secret! There is only one complete, handwritten copy of the recipe in existence, signed by Colonel Harland Sanders, locked in a computerized vault at company headquarters in Louisville. Only two KFC officials have access to the recipe, and even the names of those two are kept secret.

1957 marked the first year that finger-lickin’ good KFC was sold in its signature bucket. Today, people in 80 countries enjoy one billion KFC dinners every year.

Flags flew at half-mast on all Kentucky state buildings for four days in December 1980 when Colonel Sanders died of leukemia.

RICHMOND, Va. — The prevailing view is that the Aaron’s 499, run at Talladega Superspeedway and won by Kevin

Harvick, was a NASCAR classic.It all depends on the perspective, or so said Harvick’s Richard Childress Racing teammate Clint Bowyer, who finished seventh in that race. “It was boring as far as my situation went,” said Bowyer. “I rode around in the back and snuck in and got a decent finish out of it. That’s the only way I can get a good finish there.“I hate doing it. It’s boring and no good for your sponsor and everything else. But…I needed to get a good finish.”Now, one week later, Harvick is the Sprint Cup point leader, Jeff Burton is ninth and Bowyer 12th, meaning that all three are in position to make the Chase. That, of course, is still 16 races away.Only a Cup regular since 2006, Bowyer has already made the Chase twice, finishing third in 2007 and fifth in 2008. All three RCR drivers

made the Chase in 2008. None did so in 2009.Bowyer, who will turn 31 this month, has collected three top-10 finishes in the past five races, finishing 12th in the most recent at Richmond International Raceway. He drives the No. 33 Cheerios/Hamburger Helper Chevrolet.

Clint Bowyer, seen at right with motorcross legend and current Truck Series competitor

Ricky Carmichael, is looking to snap his winless streak after 72 races.

(John Clark/NASCAR This Week photo)

Bowyer Is Long overdueTwice a Sprint Cup winner, Bowyer has gone 72 races — exactly two seasons — since his Richmond victory on May 3, 2008.“Not winning…you never get over it,” he said. “We are racers and grew up racing and winning races. I hate losing. It has been a long time since we won a Cup race, and we’re long overdue. I feel like it’s our turn, and we need to get it done.”Bowyer’s two victories occurred at Richmond and New Hampshire.“I think the RCR short-track program has always been good,” he said. “This track (Richmond), I don’t know why, it just kind of fell into my driving style. I love this place. You have got to get up on the wheel and make it happen at a track like this.“I think this is a perfect size race track. It’s just fast enough that you get that sensation of speed that we all like, and it’s just short enough that we can beat and bang on each other, and root and gouge for a win. That’s what puts on a good show at tracks like Richmond.”

Dental InsuranceBefore you buy dental insurance, consider whether it will actually save you any money. Investigate a number of types of policies before you buy.Call your own dentist office to see what plans it accepts. Be sure the insurance company you’re considering has your dentist on its list. If you know you need work done, ask your dentist for a list and compare it to what the insurance will cover for each procedure. Consider the type of policy you want: • Traditional — You pay a monthly premium and have a

percentage of your costs covered.• Direct Reimbursement — You pick any dentist and

pay for the work, and the insurance company sends you a check.

• In-Network — You’re required to go to a dentist on the plan’s list, but you might not be charged extra fees because the policy dictates which dentist you see and how much the dentist can charge.

Consider the level of coverage the plan offers:• Basic: Extractions, which might or might not cover

root canals.• Major: Implants and bridges likely won’t be covered

unless specified in the policy.• Preventive: Exams and cleaning are standard, but extra

services such a fluoride might not be covered.Read the fine print:• Policies don’t always agree on what is basic or major

work. If you have a missing tooth and want to consider getting a bridge, it’s possible the plan won’t cover it because the tooth wasn’t in place when the policy started.

• Is there a waiting period? Is it for all procedures, or just the more expensive ones such as crowns?

• Is there a yearly maximum? Most companies cut off benefits at $1,000 per year.

• Existing conditions? Chances are the policy won’t cover those.

• Are emergencies covered? Be sure to do the math. Every year the deductible will reset. Add up your monthly premiums plus the deductible. That’s the amount you’ll pay on a yearly basis.If you don’t have a dentist, check the policy information for dentists in your area. Then call to find out which offices are taking new patients. Ask to be sure they’re still accepting that insurance, as not all of them will take a new patient.Find more information on the American Dental Association’s website: www.ada.org. Put “dental insurance” in the search box.

Answers on Page 8


DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please say something about migraine headaches. I think that’s what I have. They come on fast, and the pain feels like something is pulsating in my head. I throw up with every headache. Bright lights make things worse. Does all this sound like a migraine to you? Someone told me there’s always a warning before a migraine starts. I have no warning. I’ve used Tylenol, but it doesn’t do much for me. What is the treatment? Can they be prevented? — L.G.ANSWER: Your headaches have many of the characteristics of a migraine headache. The warning mentioned to you is an aura. The aura usually precedes a migraine. It can be flashing zigzag lines, peculiar sensations — often in the hands — trouble finding the right words to speak or weakness of a group of muscles. Only 20 percent of migraine patients have an aura, so it’s not an indispensable migraine sign.Nausea and vomiting are common migraine symptoms. Seventy percent of migraine patients have a one-sided headache that they describe as throbbing or a dull ache. It lasts from four hours to three days. People with migraines are very sensitive to light and sound, so they seek a dark, quiet room to lie down.Stress, overexertion, sleep deprivation and hunger can provoke a migraine. Some foods and drinks can do the same. Alcohol (especially red wine); caffeine; pickles; bananas; yogurt; avocados; aged cheeses; pickled or marinated chicken, beef

or fish; salami; pastrami; bacon; pepperoni; hot dogs; and the taste enhancer monosodium glutamate are on the list of possible migraine inducers. Medicines for treating a migraine abound. Tylenol, aspirin and drugs like ibuprofen take care of mild migraines. For more severe ones, triptans are the standard treatment. They include Imitrex, Axert, Frova, Zomig, Amerge and Maxalt. An older medicine, ergotamine, still has a place in treatmentFor migraine prevention, propranolol, verapamil and amitriptyline are prescribed if the headaches occur often and disrupt life.The headache booklet discusses the causes and treatment of the more common kinds of headaches. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 901W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
