Insects in your Chocolate

Insects in your Chocolate

Did you know that the average chocolate bar in the U.S. contains at least 8 pieces of an insect in it? Harvesting of the cacao beans occurs in the tropical countries of South America with low sanitation levels. Cacao tree beans are cut and piled in the farmer's field where they ferment for 6 days. During this process, children and adults walk over the piles; insects, rodents, small animals and other living things that make their nests in the piles. Actually the The U. S. Department of Health publishes a book entitled "The Food Defect Action Levels" in which they list unavoidable defects in food (insect, rodents etc.) all allowed by FDA.

The Gulp That Wouldn't Go Away

A man named Charles Osborne had the hiccups for approximately sixty-nine years.

The Gulp That Wouldn't Go Away
Maybe you've eaten too fast. Or perhaps you've had a carbonated beverage and it's fizzing away in your stomach. For whatever reason, you suddenly experience a gulping sensation as you take breath in. Congratulations, you have the hiccups.
Hiccups are a result of irritation of the diaphragmatic muscle that separates your chest from your abdomen, and is part of what makes your lungs expand. As you inhale, the diaphragm opens up, stretching across your chest, then relaxes as you exhale. When irritated, the muscle goes into sudden spasms, or hiccups, which usually last only a few minutes. Any session lasting 24 hours or more, should be investigated by a doctor, as you may have an underlying condition that needs attention.
How do you get rid of hiccups? Everybody has a cure, whether it's a good scare, swallowing a spoon of sugar, or holding your nose while sipping water. But do any of these cures work? Oddly enough, scientists say that some will serve to interrupt the spasm of the muscle, but not in all people. So what works for one, may not work for the other.
Take poor Charles Osborne, for instance. Born in 1894, Osborne was 28-years old when he started hauling around a hog to see how big it was (likely straining the diaphragm in the process) Then he started to hiccup. And he didn't stop for 69 years. At first the spasms hit at a rate of 40 times a minute. Later in life they had tapered off to 20 a minute, during which Osborne lamented the dangers of losing his false teeth. But they had little significant effect. Osborne married twice, fathered eight children, and died at the age of 97, one year after the hiccups mysteriously stopped.
