    Extractions: BUTWT (Barking Up The Wrong Tree) "Science stops where politics (or marketing) begins" -Rex Harrill 2000 We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first. Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions And The Madness Of Crowds Pink Disease Pellagra The Virus "Hoax" Scurvy What causes people to think as we do? Who knows? Perhaps these stories can help us regain our perspective. Understand that this is not a humor page. Instead, it is hoped you will see reason in the stories to mistrust bureaucrats, medical hucksters, or anyone else who demands you simply accept orthodoxy. They really don't have your best interests at heart and they sometimes stampede the populace so that we thinking people get swept away in the madness. several years before van Leeuwenhoek discovered the world of microbes, the chemist van Helmont had given his prescription for the rearing of mice: "Put some soiled cloth into a jar full of wheat; toward the twenty-first day fermentation ceases and, as a result of the emanations from the grain, true mice will be born in the jar. These are capable of mating with normal animals."

    Extractions: Nicotinic acid plays a crucial role in the cellular process called respiration. Respiration is the process by which nutrients (specifically sugar, or glucose) and oxygen are taken in, chemical reactions take place, energy is produced and stored, and carbon monoxide and wastes are given off. This process is absolutely central to basic cell functioning, and thus the functioning of the body as a whole. Niacin is a B vitamin found in such foods as yeast, liver, meat, fish, whole-grain cereals and breads, and legumes. Niacin can also be produced within the body from the essential amino acid called tryptophan. Dietary requirements for niacin depend on the age, gender, size, and activity level of the individual. Niacin requirements range from 5 mg in infants up to 20 mg in certain adults. Causes and symptoms Pellagra can be either primary or secondary. Primary pellagra results when the diet is extremely deficient in niacin-rich foods. A classic example occurs in geographic locations where Indian corn (maize) is the dietary staple. Maize does contain niacin, but in a form which cannot be absorbed from the intestine (except when it has been treated with alkali, as happens in the preparation of tortillas). People who rely on maize as their major food source often develop pellagra. Pellagra can also occur when a hospitalized patient, unable to eat for a very prolonged period of time, is given fluids devoid of vitamins through a needle in the vein (intravenous or IV fluids).

84. The Origins Of Maize: The Puzzle Of Pellagra
    The spread of maize as a staple food from the fifteenth century resultedin a devastating nutrientdeficiency disease called pellagra.

    Extractions: The spread of maize Columbus discovered maize in the New World in 1492 and brought it back to Spain, from where it spread throughout Europe, to North Africa, the Middle East, India and China. Maize (Zea mays, or corn as it is known in some countries) is the only cereal crop that has an American origin and which is now a principal cereal crop in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. The increasing use of maize as a staple food reflected the much higher yields per hectare, compared with wheat, rye and barley. Because maize was cheap, it became the dominant food and main source of dietary energy and protein for poor people, particularly those in rural and underprivileged segments of society. Pellagra or "the sour skin" disease Unfortunately, wherever maize went, a disease called "pellagra" was sure to follow. The connection between maize and pellagra was first described by Casal in Spain in 1735.When it became an endemic disease in northern Italy, Francesco Frapoli of Milan named it 'pelle agra" (pelle, skin; agra, sour). Clinically, the disease is identified by the three Ds-dermatitis, diarrhoea and dementia-and if untreated, pellagra typically leads to death in four or five years.
