Subject: HEMP seed products back on Shelves in the USA
Good news America!!!

Last month, effective Feb. 6th 2002, a ban on all HEMP seed nutritional
products went into effect by the DEA. Soon there after, Canadian HEMP
nutritional product producers and other producers of soaps, shampoos,
lotions etc. sued the US under NAFTA for $25,000,000 in losses do to the
HEMP seed ban.

This week, Trader Joe's Markets, a California based grocery store chain with
over 100 stores on the west coast, and a several on the east coast has
decided to place HEMP seed products back on it's shelves after pulling the
products only a month ago.

This is exciting news for people who understand the truth about HEMP and
it's 50,000 industrial products and especially it's potential as a world
food source.

HEMP SEED FACTS:
In 1991 UCLA Biochemistry Dept. head Dr. Roberta Hamilton ED.D Ph.D found
that Hemp seed is the most nutritional food source so far discovered by man.
This was verified by 12 universities nation wide.----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----Hemp seed/oil is the most nutritional food source so far discovered by man.
In 1991 Dr. Roberta Hamilton, head of the UCLA Biochemistry dept. discovered
that hemp seed oil contains ALL EFA's (Essential Fatty Acids) And amino
acids. This was the first food souce discovered to contain all, and not to
mention the oils were in the exact proportions needed for the human body.
It's low in saturated fats at 8% of total volume, the oil contains 55%
linoleic acid (LA) and 25% linolenic acid (LNA) Only flax has more linolenic
acid at 58% but hemp has the highest in total amounts at 80% of total
volume.

These oils are essential for our immune system, and are the basis of our
cellular structure. Hemp seed protein is also 65% globulin edesin (easily
digestible) Only soy bean has a higher amount of protein, but hemp seed
protein is far more digestible. Hemp seed is also an extremely high source
of fiber.

It is estimated that a man can survive off of 2 grams of hemp seed with
water per day. In Australian history books it is said that between 1842-1844
the settlers near what is now Sydney report to have survived a 2 year
drought off only hemp seed, and leaves for foliage and vitamin C. Budhist's
believe that Siddhartha (Budha) lived for 2-5 years off of 5 seeds per day
on his journey to enlightenment.
