2 The History of Candy Corn Chicken feed produced a golden egg for one Illinois candy company. Back in 1900, Gustav Goelitz's Confectionery Company produced and sold candy corn as chicken feed. Goelitz marketed the candy in a box branded with a rooster and the tagline: "Something to Crow About." It caught on. According to the Goelitz website, the candy was such a success, it "carried the company through two World Wars and the Depression," and saved it from bankruptcy. More than 100 years later, the fourth Goelitz generation is still selling the identical candy and recipe, although the company changed its name to Jelly Belly Candy after its primary candy product. In honor of its roots, it developed a candy corn-flavored jelly bean. Candy corn is still a favorite Halloween treat, only it has slipped one notch to second place, with anything chocolate taking the number one honors. Manufacturers produced 9 billion pieces of candy corn in 2015; that's 35 million pounds. One serving amounts to 140 calories (3 mini-hershey bars); a single piece is around 3.57 calories. In case you are wondering, there is a preferred way to eat the corn. According to a survey by the National Confectioners Association, 43 percent start with the narrow white end. About 10 percent begin eating the wider yellow end first. Companies are tinkering with the candy corn recipe and trying new flavors, like caramel apple, caramel popcorn, and cinnamon. The Zachary Confections company (sells to retail stores like Target) makes 12 varieties, including blackberry cobbler, raspberry lemonade, cherry and pumpkin spice. Candy corn has made its way into Oreos, M&Ms, coffee, bagels, and even a martini. Health Corner A Healthy Liver Offers Quality of Life What weighs about three pounds, is shaped like a football, and although it is an essential part of daily life, doesn't typically get much attention? If you guessed a healthy, functioning liver, you are right. The liver is one of several organs within the body that works to clean toxins from inside. At any moment, it can have up to 10 percent of your blood inside as it filters the toxins out. Located on the right side of the body, the liver rests just under the ribcage. It is unique in that while it is one of the largest organs inside the body, it is the only part of you that can regenerate if damaged, or partially removed from the body. Some may say that you would know right away if there was a problem with your liver, but doctors will tell you that this is not true. Liver disease is a slow-to-show condition that can affect your body for years without any outward signs. Noticeable symptoms of liver disease or damage include dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), and swelling in the belly. Conditions that affect the liver include hepatitis. There are three forms of hepatitis, two of which have vaccines. Hepatitis A is typically spread through contact with fecal matter, while Hepatitis B is spread through contact with bodily fluids, and can be passed from mother to child during birth. Hepatitis C spreads through contact with the blood of an infected individual. There are steps that you can take to prevent these conditions and other damage to your liver. The American Liver Foundation suggests that individuals maintain a healthy weight and diet, use alcohol responsibly, avoid the use of illicit drugs and avoid contact with needles. The organization urges people to get Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines. There is no vaccination for Hepatitis C.

12 Dr. Wayne Dyer As I listen to people, it s clear that trauma and crisis abound in our collective lives. Some have a strong faith in God on which to cling while others do not. Even when we do, an inspirational line or two remembered or written is helpful when we re struggling to achieve peace of mind. This month I ve focused on a few of Dr. Wayne Dyer s Inner Peace cards. Read through some of them, select those that speak to you, examine why it does, and decide how you will apply it to your life. Happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in life are all inner concepts. If you don t have INNER PEACE AND SERENITY, then you have nothing. Who Continues Your Destiny? You can reshape your thinking so that you never have to think in negatives again. You and only you choose your thoughts. Don t equate your self-worth with how well you do things in life. You aren t what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don t---you aren t! No one can depress you. No one can make you anxious. No one can hurt your feelings. No one can make you anything other than what you allow inside. Forgiveness is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself on the spiritual path. If you can t learn to forgive, you can forget about getting to higher levels of awareness. Stop focusing on what you do not have, and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all that you ARE and all that you DO have. If you are suffering in your life right now, I can guarantee that this condition is tied up with some kind of attachment to how things SHOULD be going. One of the HIGHEST PLACES you can get to is to be INDEPENDENT of the good opinions of other people. Most people are SEARCHING for happiness OUTSIDE of THEMSELVES. That s a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something that you ARE and it comes from THE WAY THAT YOU THINK. You re always alone, but you re only lonely if you don t like the person you re alone with. Think positive thoughts and do high-esteem self-talk.
