NOVEMBER IS DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

AS WE OBSERVE DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH AND WORLD DIABETES DAY; GRANOLA GOURMET CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO HELP FIGHT DIABETES!

Every 20 seconds someone is diagnosed with Diabetes. That is more than 4,300 friends, neighbors, co-workers, or family members everyday.  We need to stop diabetes now. 24 million children and adults in the United States live with diabetes 57 million Americans are at risk for type 2 diabetes 1 out of every 3 children born today will face a future with diabetes if current trends continue.


Diabetes is a chronic, debilitating disease affecting every organ system. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which a person’s body still produces insulin but is unable to use it effectively.

November 14th is World Diabetes Day, Granola Gourmet is joining the United Nations and the global Diabetes community in observing this day. Urging the public to learn more about the symptoms and devastating effects of this preventable disease, and encouraging them to support research leading to a cure for diabetes and its complications.

Granola Gourmet has created snacks that taste amazing and are good for you; energy bars for ATHLETES, DIABETICS, FAMILIES or people trying to eat healthier; and are endorsed by Physicians and Endocrinologist. They have No Wheat, No Dairy, Very Low Sodium, High in Omega – 3′s and Whole Grains.

Founded by Jeff Cohen, a diabetic and his family. Granola Gourmet Energy Bars are made with 100% natural and wholesome ingredients. They have  No Wheat, No Dairy and are Very Low in Sodium. Frustrated by a lack of snacks that did not cause a blood sugar spike, but that also tasted good Granola Gourmet was born.  Using the Glycemic Index as a guide, ingredients with a Low Glycemic Impact were selected.

Finally, a substantial energy bar that is tasty, chewy and crunchy and portion controlled. Satisfying your hunger and fulfilling your sweet tooth. They are an energy bar and don’t have the high sugar, fat and sodium content of some popular protein bars.  A portion of each purchase goes to fight diabetes!
