TIDBITS® ANNOUNCES

FEETby Janet Spencer

Come along with Tidbits as we consider the marvel of engineering called the human foot!

• With 26 bones, 114 ligaments and 20 muscles, a foot is an amazing invention. A quarter of the bones in the human body are located in the feet. (Add in the bones in the hand, and that accounts for fully half of our bones.) Feet need to be structural marvels.

• Consider that the average adult travels around 1,000 miles a year on foot, taking about 10,000 steps per day. A typical 70-year-old human will have walked a distance equivalent to going around the circumference of the earth four times. The feet strike the ground 17,000 times in a 20 mile marathon run, but even a mile of gentle walking subjects the feet to about 80 tons of weight. Feet must be sturdy.

• Although 98% of us are born with healthy feet, 80 out of 100 Americans develop foot problems during their lifetime. At any given moment, about 30 million Americans suffer from foot problems, ranging from corns and ingrown nails to club feet and fallen arches.

• Four times as many women as men deal with foot problems, mostly due to high heels. Podiatrists trace 95% of the 500 known foot ailments to ill-designed shoes or improper foot care.

CROSSWORD

Canadian Tid-bits▶ The eyes of a moose work independently so it can look in two directions at once.

▶ The town of Forget, Saskatchewan (population 40) was named after the first Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Amedee Forget. The town’s name is pronounced ‘for-jay.’

▶ Little Manitou Lake near Saskatoon is fed by underwater springs. Because the lake has no outlet, minerals such as sodium, magnesium, and potassium salts collect in the water. It’s about half the saltiness of the Dead Sea.

▶ Metis means ‘mixed’ in French, and the Metis people were so named because they are a ‘mix’ of European and natives.

▶ A pingo is a dome of earth-covered ice which is shaped like a volcano, found in arctic regions. When ground water freezes, it pushes the ground above it upwards. After centuries of freeze-thaw cycles, a large mound rises. They can reach up to 70 m (230 ft) in height and up to 600 m (2,000 ft) in diameter. The term originated as the Inuvialuktun word for a small hill.

FEET FACTS (continued):• High heels prevent the ankles from absorbing

their normal share of the force of walking, shunting it instead to the toes. A three-inch heel puts more than seven times the pressure on the forefoot than a flat shoe. This promotes many foot ailments such as bunions, hammer toes, and neuroma, which is a painful thickening of the nerve that connects the toes. A study of 3,000 surgeries performed on the forefoot found that 87% of the bunion surgeries, 81% of hammer toe surgeries, and 89% of the neuroma surgeries were done on women’s feet.

• High heels also affect the knees. A study published in the British medical journal The Lancet showed that high heels cause strain and pressure on the joint that joins the kneecap and the underlying thigh bone. The rotational forces on the inner part of the knee joint were 23 percent higher when women participating in the study walked in heels than when they walked barefoot.

• Surprisingly, the big toe has only two bones, while the rest of the toes have three. Although nearly every bone in the body has an official name, one exception is the toe bones. They are known only as “metatarsal digits #1-5.” A fourth-year medical student at Yale decided to undo the injustice by bestowing names on the toes. He called them porcellus fori, porcellus domi, porcellus carnivorus, porcellus nonvoratus, and porcellus plorans domun.

In Latin, these names translate as little pig at market, baby pig at home, meat-eating piglet, small pig that has not eaten, and piggy crying all the way home. Some orthopedic surgeons have picked up his names, but doctors have not yet gone hog wild over the idea.

• The measuring device in shoe shops is called a Brannock Device, after the inventor who designed it in the 1920s. The firm is still going strong.

• Not surprisingly, the place on the body where the skin is thickest is the heel of the foot, where it’s about 1/16th of an inch thick. Compare that to the thinnest skin on the body— the eyelids— at 2/1000 of an inch. Although the heel is the area on the body that is least sensitive to pain, it’s also the sweatiest area. The 125,000 sweat glands in a single foot can excrete as much as half a pint of sweat per day. Research done at the University of Miami centered on foot odor. How does a research team study foot odor? First you get a bunch of volunteers to sit with their feet in plastic bags. Then you have the laboratory staff sniff the feet. They discovered that people with foot odor had large numbers of a certain bacteria on their bodies— the same type of bacteria found in Limburger cheese. They also discovered that antibiotics can reduce the number of bacteria, and thus improve the smell of feet. Why some people carry large amounts of this bacteria and others don’t is still unknown, but is under investigation. It could be differences in a person’s sweat or pH balance. Since it’s not a good idea to take antibiotics to reduce odor, this valiant research team is now trying to find ways to keep bacteria from sticking to the skin, to prevent bacteria from getting

This week’s question: 1969, whom did Mick Taylor replace as guitarist for the Rolling Stones?

FEET FACTS (continued):a “foothold.” Around 80 million Americans

suffer from smelly feet. • One company called Sweet Feet combated

foot odor with scented socks. Impregnated with various scents such as powder, citrus, strawberry, and peach, the footsie socks threw off a long-lasting fragrance. The odor remained even through many launderings and the socks cost about $20 per pair.

• Many people do not wear the correct shoe size for their feet. Often this is because people stick to the size they were measured for when young and fail to realize that their feet change shape.

FOOT BINDING• The only thing worse for feet than high heels

was the Chinese practice of foot-binding. A young girl’s feet were wrapped with a bandage ten feet long, strapped in a figure eight around the foot and ankle. It was tightened daily and pulled so taut that the four smallest toes were forced under the foot, breaking the bones. The bones in the arch of the foot would also break, forcing the arch into a sharp inverted “V” shape. Every two weeks the girl was given a pair of shoes two tenths of an inch smaller than the previous pair. Infection often resulted, sometimes followed by gangrene, amputation of toes, and even death. After two years, the ideally deformed foot fit a shoe only four

Q: I recently added a 7-month-old kitten to our home of two other cats and two dogs. I rescued the kitten from up in a tree. When I took the new arrival for a checkup, the veterinarian said, “You already have two cats; this is going to have to stop.” He recommended I get rid of the kitten, calling her neurotic. Well, things soon calmed down, and now everyone is fine - except for me. I thought the kitten would benefit from being in our home, receiving her shots and being spayed. But now the vet says I’m a “cat hoarder.” What do you think?A: “If you’re a cat hoarder, what am I?” asks Dr. Kate Knutson, president of AAHA. “I have six cats and two dogs, and I am not a hoarder. And I very much doubt you are, either. ‘Hoarding’ means that you continue to take in animals and can’t stop. What’s more, hoarders don’t offer medical care for the animals, which clearly you are doing.” Knutson, of Bloomington, MN, adds, “You did the right thing to take in this kitten, though when introducing cats or kittens to one another, a very gradual introduction is best.” She adds that if what you say is true, you might consider interviewing a new veterinarian, especially one certified as having a Cat-Friendly Practice (www.catvets.com).

“IDENTITY THIEF”: Their styles differ, but Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy make for a reasonably amusing pairing in this comedy, containing a sufficient amount of the raunchy humor both have become associated with. McCarthy plays the title thief, whose lifting of a Denver businessman’s (Bateman) identity prompts him to travel to Florida to find her, bring her back and get his situation corrected. Others are on their trail, though, complicating things considerably. Amanda Peet, Jon Favreau, Robert Patrick and hip-hop star T.I. are featured. DVD extras: “making-of ” documentary; outtakes. ***

“A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD”: Mild fun if you don’t overthink it, here’s round five for Bruce Willis as renegade New York cop John McClane in this no-frills action tale, which has the ever-rugged hero “yippee-ki-ay”-ing through Russia ... and destroying a good chunk of it along the way. He goes there to help his estranged son (Jai Courtney) out of trouble, only to find his offspring is secretly a CIA agent who’s neck-deep in government intrigue. Needless to say, ever-resourceful Dad shows the kid a thing or two. Mary Elizabeth Winstead briefly reprises her role from the preceding “Live Free or Die Hard” as McClane’s daughter. **

“WARM BODIES”: One couple - a zombie and a human, played by Nicholas Hoult (“Jack the Giant Slayer”) and Teresa Palmer - could be the key to restoring the world from a rampage of the undead

in this satire of a genre, played unusually straight for something of its nature. The fellow is the zombie who saves the young woman, one of the few humans left, from others of his kind. Their ensuing relationship could have an impact on many others. John Malkovich and Rob Corddry also appear. DVD extras: nine “making-of ” documentaries; audio commentary by Hoult, Palmer and director-screenwriter Jonathan Levine; deleted scenes; outtakes. ***

“ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH”: Another all-star voice cast fuels an animated fantasy, as this adventure takes a famous astronaut (voice of Brendan Fraser) to a planet from which a distress call has been issued. Instead, it’s a trap set for the spaceman by a renegade military general (voice of William Shatner), and the hero has to figure out his own escape and a rescue for the entire world. Jessica Alba, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sofia Vergara and Ricky Gervais also are heard. DVD extras: “making-of ” documentary; audio commentary by director Cal Brunker; deleted and alternate scenes; music featurettes. ***

“BREAKING BAD: THE FIFTH SEASON”: With the final episodes of the acclaimed drama series set to begin their AMC run in August, the eight stories leading up to those - note that this set isn’t called the “Complete Fifth Season” - are presented here. Meth maker and dealer Walter White (multiple Emmy winner Bryan Cranston) is at something of a loss after the way the frantic machinations of Season 4 ended, and he tries to strike an uneasy alliance with Mike (Jonathan Banks) to make things come out right ... within his range of ethics, that is. An extra Episode 8 scene created specifically for home video viewers is included. DVD extras: “making-of ” documentaries; audio commentary by cast and crew; deleted scenes; outtakes; audition footage; rehearsal footage; artwork featurette. ***

Foot Binding Cont’dinches long, and would proudly be called “lotus

feet” or “lily feet.” Because women with lily feet could only put weight on their heels and couldn’t walk without pain, they hobbled with a mincing step which men considered charming. No one knows why the custom became habit, though it’s conjectured that the practice was popular because it prevented unhappy wives from running away. The practice began with the higher classes in order to prove that the family was so rich that the daughters didn’t need to work. However, a majority of low-class girls had their feet bound anyway in the hopes that they would find a high-class marriage. Only the most poverty-stricken families, whose daughters needed to work in the fields, failed to follow the practice. Beauty in the feet was considered more important that beauty in the face. Foot-binding was the norm in China for a thousand years, until being outlawed in the Revolution of Sun Yat-Sen in 1911. A 1997 study of elderly women in Beijing who had suffered from foot binding in their youth found they tended to fall easily, were often unable to rise from a chair without help, could not squat, and had higher rates of osteoporosis.
