PRESS RELEASE

The Natural Whole Food Bars tests as LOW Glycemic!


OCEANSIDE, CA (April 12, 2006) - The Natural Whole Food Bar (TNB) is pleased to announce the results of its glycemic evaluation. The official report received from Dr. Alexandra Jenkins, PhD, RD, Director of Research, for the Glycemic Laboratories, Inc. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is that the “Crunchy Almond” bar has tested out at a glycemic index of 22.2 and the “Crunchy Peanut” has tested out at 24.9 as well. The results according to Dr. Jenkins indicate that The Natural Whole Food Bars “have a low glycemic index” and were judged to be highly palatable. The glycemic index is an important dietary factor used to determine the effect a substance has on blood sugar in the body. The glycemic index range is from 0-100 with 100 representing pure sugar. TNB President, CEO & Founder Dan Armentrout stated “Identifying the glycemic index of a product is a highly important and useful tool which allows people to pursue an optimal healthy lifestyle. Diabetics for instance must know the GI of the foods they eat in advance or else they could experience medical problems”. Mr. Armentrout went on to say “undertaking the financial investment to determine the glycemic index of The Natural Whole Food Bars is something I feel a responsibility to the consumer to complete. It demonstrates our desire to continue to be the industry leader in innovative products as well as genuine concern for the consumer”. Mr. Armentrout stated that all products his company brings to market will submit to glycemic testing to determine their applicable glycemic index. Aside from Diabetics many consumers today are becoming more aware of the importance of the glycemic index and the role it plays in their daily lives. The reduction of sugar and other high glycemic foods from diets has seen a dramatic rise among all consumer categories and manufacturers are starting to pay attention. The Natural Whole Food Bar, Inc. is a privately held company with its corporate offices located in Oceanside, CA. www.thenaturalbar.com
