(ContentDesk) March 11, 2006 -- Cocovida, which produces premium quality virgin coconut oil and associated products, has decided, that given the incredible growth in the market for health foods and nutritional supplements, it is the correct time to offer its products to the European public. Mel Learmouth, the company's CEO, explained the decision. " With regard to the expansion of the company, we had several options open to us. We could have gone into the malls in the Philippines, or set up distributors in the US. However the virgin coconut oil market in the UK and Europe is virtually untapped.
We wanted to be in at the start of something special. So we decided on the European option. Although there are companies importing virgin coconut oil into the UK and Europe, it is mostly poor quality, heated oil. We believe that our production process, ANH (Absolute No Heat), produces oil of a much higher quality."As well as the oil, the UK website will be offering, virgin coconut oil based soaps, massage oils and body lotions. Cocovida is hoping to add regularly to their product range.
Mrs. Learmouth added,
" We have taken a lot of time over this venture and spent a lot of money. It is always a risk for a small Philippine company to try and take on the big boys. However, we have complete confidence in our products and are therefore offering the European public the chance to sample virgin coconut oil, in its natural state."Cocovida is a founder member of the cold-process, ANH (Absolutely No Heat), group of companies, that are lobbying for virgin coconut oil to be produced in the most natural way, without the use of any heat whatsoever. Cold-processed oils retain all their natural nutrients and antioxidants.Mel Learmouth73 Mabolo St., Mapayapa Village 1, Barangay Pasong Tamo, Quezon City, Philippines, 1107+632-9313244inquiry @ cocovida.com.phNigel AtterburyNo1, Building 47 Marlborough RoadRoyal Arsenal, LondonSE18 6RUUnited Kingdom0870 321 8948info @ cocovida.co.ukMore information on Cocovida can be found on the new UK website www.cocovida.co.uk or www.cocovida.com.ph..
Priorities: Oil, Military, Economy or 38% Of U.S. States Now Ban Gay Marriage?
Providence, RI (ContentDesk) November 21, 2005 -- Well, not surprising, Texas, home of W, oil, red conservatives and now discrimination has voted to ban gay marriage.
Im glad Im closer to Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Its eye opening when elder groups, such as the Grey Panthers, who are often seen as deciding whats important based on lifes experiences, share my own belief that God loves everyone.
Having equal rights protects people from discrimination.
In our country where there is separation of church and state, certain religions can stop same-gender couples from marriages being sanctified in their church.
Conversely, it seems straightforward personal freedoms and rights ought to be protected by our government.No doubt, this issue and choice will be wedge issues in 2006 elections.
However, the trifecta of our economy, military and oil ought to be center stage.
One way to know our economy is still...
Fish oil for brain and eye development
Question : I HAVE read that fish is a rich source of Omega-3, which is important for both adults and children. However, I have a 10-year-old son who hates fish and I am worried that he may not be getting enough Omega-3. Can he be given fish oil supplements? How much should he take? Answer : FISH, especially fatty fish, is indeed a rich source of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The two important components, EPA and DHA, are essential for good health. DHA is especially important for children to ensure good brain and eye development but EPA is needed too.
As your son does not eat fish at all, I would suggest you give him a higher dose of fish oil supplements to ensure no deficiencies take place. My advice would be to choose a concentrated fish oil supplement to reduce the number of capsules he needs to swallow in a day. Concentrated fish oil supplements provide twice the amount of Omega-3 in a capsule compared to the normal fish oil capsules. With concentrated fish oil supplements,...
