| Issue 22 — May 2008 I hope you’re enjoying this lovely time of renewal. A highlight of spring and summer is the abundance of luscious fruit that’s available to us. A few weeks ago I enjoyed picking some fresh organic mulberries . . . I must have eaten at least 150 berries! Apricots and plums are next. ;-) I encourage everyone to find fresh organic fruit in your own region—whether from a tree or a bush or at your local farmers’ market. I apologize for not sending out our E-newsletter more often. Things with Nutiva have been characteristically busy. I just returned from the Chicago Green Festival, where our team met many Nutiva fans and offered great deals on our products. I’m training for what will be my second triathlon this August. This gives me a great reason to stay in the best personal shape ever. Nutiva recently introduced new bulk-size Organic Hemp Protein and Shelled Hempseed, in 3-lb., vacuum-sealed bags. Here is a $5-off coupon code for ordering these three-pounders. It’s good until June 30, 2008, and can be used multiple times: 3poundersavings I’m wishing you the healthiest and happiest year ever! In health, John W. Roulac P. S.: As always, I’m hoping you’ll keep helping to spread the word about Nutiva to your friends and family members by clicking on Forward to a Friend. Thanks!

Nutiva Hemp Protein Dear People, I am a 61-year-old window cleaner. My wife recently bought a jar of your Nutiva Hemp Protein, and I began using it. I noticed the first day that I had considerably more energy than when I used my previous brand of protein powder. I read the ingredients on the jar and can't see anything special except for the omegas 3, 6, and 9. What is the secret ingredient? I plan to be a customer for life. Mike ~~~ Nutiva Coconut Oil I’ve tried several different brands of coconut oil, and I've found this is the most delicious and fresh-tasting I've had. I highly recommend it to all my friends for eating, cooking, adding to drinks, or using on the skin. I recently mixed it into crushed oatmeal for a wonderful moisturizing scrub, and eliminated dry patches on my face. Stephanie D. in Oklahoma City Read more testimonials

1 tablespoon of Hempseed or Hemp Protein Powder contains 48% of the RDI of magnesium—vital to 300 human biochemical processes. Nutiva customer Daily Juice of Austin, Texas, serves up delicious Hemp Mate Lattes and Hemp Smoothies at their two locations. Says owner Matt Wahrer, "Nutiva's Hempseed and Protein are amazing superfoods. Our hemp-based Tropical Transfusion is one of our top three sellers, and a top requested additive to all of our smoothies. We love to support hemp."
This month we're delighted to honor an exciting film project, "The Vanishing of the Bees," produced by filmmaker Maryam Henein. Many people are becoming aware of the alarming issue of bees disappearing and not returning to their hives. The majority of our fruits and nuts—including melons, berries, and almonds—require pollination by bees. The film's goal is to alert as many people as possible to better understand why this is happening to the bees, and what the solutions are to protect them. This important film is currently in production, and the needed funds to complete the project are being raised. Nutiva is donating $1,000 to help this film be released. We’re asking our customers to support this film along with us by suggesting that friends and family members also consider donating to the project. Even $25 or $50 will help! Learn more about the film "The Vanishing of the Bees." To read the latest update on the bee crisis from acclaimed health advocate and writer Mike Adams, click here. Last September, Nutiva CEO and Founder John W. Roulac competed in the Steve Braun Memorial Triathlon. He completed the 4/10-mile swim, 15-mile bike ride, and 5K run in 2 hours and 4 minutes. The winning time was 1 hour 21 minutes.
Nutiva has introduced a new blog in which we’ll be posting stories on organic foods, coconut oil, hemp, green energy, recipes, and nutrition. From our May 6th post: Here is the latest piece from the New York Times on how shoppers are shifting their spending on food and other items as we enter what may be the sharpest downturn since the 1930s. No need for panic—we all just need to review how we operate in our personal and professional lives when it comes to $$. To save costs, many organic food shoppers will buy in. Product Alert Have you been noticing all the organic and natural products (including Horizon Milk) that have added DHA as a way to boost omega-3 claims? The DHA is extracted from fermented algae and soil fungus, often using hexane, a highly explosive petrochemical solvent and neurotoxin. Somehow the USDA Organic program is allowing certified-organic products to include this ingredient. The following is an excerpt from CommonDreams.org: Organic products with the prohibited fatty acid supplements include Horizon Organic Milk with DHA (Dean Foods) and organic infant formulas, including Similac Organic (Abbott Laboratories), Earth's Best (Hain Celestial), and Bright Beginnings Organic (PBM Products). Martek Biosciences Corporation produces these DHA and ARA supplements. They are extracted from fermented algae and soil fungus with the use of a highly explosive neurotoxic petrochemical solvent, hexane. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration lists hexane as a serious hazard to worker health and safety, and the Environmental Protection Agency classifies it as a hazardous air pollutant. The National Organic Program strictly prohibits its use in the processing of organic foods and ingredients . . .

Nutiva Introduces New Three-Pound Bulk Size Organic Hempseed and Hemp Protein.
"The word is spreading fast that hemp is a nutritional powerhouse. By buying it in bulk, our customers can now save money and reduce packaging waste," says Nutiva CEO and Founder John W. Roulac.
Nutiva donates 1 percent of its sales to groups supporting sustainable agriculture. These groups' activities range from community gardens through GMO labeling to the banning of toxic pesticides. In 2007, Nutiva donated $70,000 dollars to these programs.
Nutiva is proud to sponsor the "running raw" athlete Tim VanOrden, who has dedicated his life to sharing the information he's discovered about human health and diet. As a 100% raw vegan-food runner, Tim has placed first or second in more than a dozen races so far in 2008. This includes the 62-story California Stair Climb. Two of his main protein sources are Nutiva Hempseed and Hemp Protein.
