New Hemp Milk Products Will Boost Growth Of Hemp Food Market In 2007

Vote Hemp ( Hemp Farming Legislation, Hemp Information and Advocacy - Vote Hemp ), the nation's largest grassroots organization working to allow American farmers to once again grow industrial hemp under state or federal regulation, is predicting major growth in the hemp food market in 2007. Two new non-dairy hemp "milk" beverages were exhibited at the Natural Products Expo East 2006 in Baltimore, Md. earlier this month and have received rave reviews. Gourmet Retailer wrote, "We were particularly impressed with the newly developed crop of hemp milks, packing a powerhouse punch of omega-3 essential fatty acids and protein." Living Harvest Hempmilk(TM) and Manitoba Harvest Hemp Bliss(TM) are the latest entries in the continually-growing hemp food market. Both brands come in Original, Vanilla and Chocolate flavors and are expected to make their public debuts in January of 2007.

Never sold before commercially, hemp milk is high in protein like soy milk, but hemp does not contain the phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors that soy does. Hemp milk is a good source of balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, unlike rice milk, and it also contains a wide range of naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin E, Folic Acid, Iron, Niacin, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Thiamin and Zinc.

"We expect the double-digit growth of the hemp food sector to continue in 2007, now that hemp milk will finally be available to waiting consumers," says Vote Hemp President Eric Steenstra. "I tried all of the flavors available at Expo East in Baltimore, and they were just amazing, as were their nutritional profiles. I can't wait to try some on my homemade hemp granola for breakfast," added Steenstra.

Hemp milk is a refreshing alternative to nut- and grain-based beverages as well as dairy beverages. Grain-based beverages are often lacking in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), protein and minerals, unless they are fortified. Nut-based milks and dairy beverages are nutritionally better, but more and more people, especially children, are developing allergies to tree nuts and dairy products.

"We wanted to offer a great-tasting, healthy product that we can feel good about giving our own kids," says Christina Volgyesi, president of Living Harvest ( Hemp Milk | Hemp Tofu | Hemp Yogurt by Tempt Hemp ). "As more and more consumers begin searching the shelves for alternative dairy products that are enjoyable to drink and contain unprocessed ingredients, we thought this was the perfect time to introduce a real essential and balanced nutritional beverage that the whole family can enjoy."

"Hemp seed is nature's best and most-balanced source of omega- 3 and omega-6 EFAs, and that is fueling interest from nutrition experts, consumers, retailers and manufacturers," says Mike Fata, president and co-founder of Manitoba Harvest ( Home - Manitoba Harvest ). In addition to its high concentration of EFAs, hemp milk has a strong digestible protein profile, is a good source of Iron and contains no trans-fats.

"Despite the fact that no U.S. farmer can grow industrial hemp due to federal restrictions, new and innovative hemp food products continue to be introduced to a waiting U.S. marketplace," says Alexis Baden-Mayer, Director of Government Affairs for Vote Hemp. "As the demand for hemp seed continues to rise with the introduction of new and innovative hemp food products, so will the pressure on state and federal officials to allow hemp farming. We are already seeing this kind of increased demand for change in a number of states including North Dakota which is about to finalize new hemp farming rules."

New Hemp Fiber Speakers

JVC Mobile has just released seven new products into its Arsenal line of car audio speakers. Of the seven new speakers three are component and five coaxial speakers. Arsenal is JVCs foray into the higher end of its mobile products. The prices of the new JVC car audio speakers range from the low end $169.95 for its CS-AR500 a budget coax speaker. From here it goes up to the higher end with a price of $319.95 for the CS-ARS680 a 240W two way component system with a freq response of 35Hz — 30kHz.

The cones in these speakers are made from a Hemp Fiber which is just asking for a bit of ribbing. Have you ever rode in that smoke filled El-Camino in high school with the kickin' stereo? Perhaps that exposes my age a little too much. Come to think of it, my friend's car stereo speakers share a lot in common with JVC's new line. But his were hemp coated, but that was just residue. I don't believe it imparted any acoustic qualities.

JVC promises its hemp fibers speaker cones strike that difficult balance between strength to hit dynamic range and sensitivity required for a wide frequency response. Speaker manufacturers are coming up with all kinds of clever materials from which to make speakers. Hemp is an environmentally sound choice and would go well in your Smart Car to give you the most hippie approved ride on your block.

Hemp Bliss Organic Hempmilk, A Non-Dairy Milk

Hemp Bliss is the first Organic hempmilk, and this hemp innovation is creating a buzz because this nutritious beverage is the most user-friendly way for consumers to try and enjoy this ancient “superfood.”

The herd of non-dairy milks has gained a strong ‘bull’ of a competitor – Hemp Bliss organic hempmilk from Manitoba Harvest (Fresh Hemp Foods Limited | Home). Consumer demand for dairy milk alternatives has been growing for many years due to vegetarian preferences and concerns about dietary sensitivities to dairy, growth hormones in dairy milks, and animal rights and other environmental issues associated with dairy production. Some people simply don’t enjoy the flavor of dairy milk and find that they can gain nutrition by tastier means.

Hemp foods are one of the hottest trends in the health food industry. Hemp Bliss is the first Organic hempmilk, and this hemp innovation is creating a buzz because this nutritious beverage is the most user-friendly way for consumers to try and enjoy this ancient “superfood.” Hemp Bliss stands out from the herd of dairy milk alternatives including soy, rice and almond because it has a strong nutrition profile, a pleasant flavor and texture and it does not raise concerns regarding food sensitivities. Many people are sensitive to nuts, including almonds. Others have trouble with sensitivity to soy or are concerned about soy agriculture. Rice milk is like hemp in that it is not known as an allergy irritant; however, it doesn’t offer a strong nutrition profile like hemp and typically rice milks contain an abundance of sugar and sweeteners.

Overall, Hemp Bliss provides a superior nutrition profile than the other non-dairy alternatives. Most noteworthy are the 1,200 mg of omega-3 essential fatty acids and 5 grams of protein in each serving. Overall, Hemp Bliss offers the richest source of Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fats.

Building Straw Houses From Flax To Hemp

Fuelled by a growing demand for environmentally friendly buildings, hemp, wheat, flax and other grains are now being touted as emerging raw materials in the construction industry.

The merits of these so-called "biofibres" and their applications in Canada, the United Kingdom and other parts of the world was the basis of an international symposium that wrapped up in Kingston yesterday.

Shelagh McDonald, executive director of the Eastern Lake Ontario Regional Innovation Network, which organized the event, said the symposium brought together the researchers and industry leaders who are using biofibres to foster new developments.

"I know there are going to be some collaborations that will spark as a result of bringing people together," she told the Whig-Standard.

The Eastern Lake Ontario Innovation Network, partially funded by the province, promotes the bioproduct, biomedical and bioenergy industries.

The symposium attracted about 100 participants from Canada, the United States, Africa and the United Kingdom.

Participants in the symposium toured a hemp experimental farm near Belleville on

Over the two-day conference, a handful of guest speakers tackled topics such as using biofibres in the construction industry and combusting the material to turn it into green energy.

Speaker Colin MacDougall, a professor of civil engineering at Queen's University, leads a group researching straw-bale homes. He spoke yesterday about the work the group is doing inside a Queen's laboratory to learn more about the strength of walls made from straw bales.

So far, he said, the results show that straw-bale walls are durable and strong if constructed properly. "The performance seems to be pretty good," he said.

The group's tests look into what type of fibre bale, including flax, hemp or wheat, works best. They're also looking at what types of plaster, including clay or cement, applied over top of the bale, are more durable. They're even looking at the placement of the bales - flat or on edge - to find out which design is more stable.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation are funding the Queen's research on straw-bale homes.

MacDougall told the symposium that even though there are only about 100 straw-bale buildings across Ontario, the material is an excellent, low-cost and an environmentally friendly design choice.

The only problem is, in Ontario, there are no building codes pertaining to straw-bale homes. Anyone interested in building one has to obtain an expensive engineer's stamp to show the design is safe before they are able to obtain a building permit.

MacDougall said the more research done on straw-bale construction, the more likely it will become a more conventional building method. "We're really just scratching the surface," he said.

United Kingdom-based Mike Duckett spoke about his company's work with hemcrete, an environmentally friendly building material that combines hemp and lime. It's already used in various parts of Europe.

His presentation revealed the environmental and practical benefits of using the material, including the fact that it's sustainable, lightweight, a good insulator, airtight, easy to use, and fire and pest resistant. The material also absorbs carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases.

Duckett said that each house constructed with hemcrete walls, roof and floors could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50 tonnes.

Hemcrete, which costs roughly the same as conventional building material, has been used to construct homes, office space, a warehouse and a theatre in Europe.

A building in England that has been touted as the most environmentally friendly warehouse in Europe doesn't require an air-conditioning system because the hemcrete material makes it possible to regulate the temperature inside at 14 C.

Hemcrete can be used to construct walls, floors and roofs in buildings that are made from steel, timber or concrete frames.

Duckett said that though it's not considered mainstream yet, he believes hemcrete has enormous potential to be used widely in the construction industry globally.

"What we know about this product to date is that it would work very well here in Canada," he said. "In the summer, it would eliminate the need for air conditioning."

It's Only Natural

YOU could imagine a mooncup being an important prop in a midnight spiritual ceremony. Or perhaps it could be a drinking receptacle used by hard-partying astronauts. In fact, it is something quite different.

In reality the Mooncup (£18.99, Mooncup Menstrual Cup is a healthy and environmentally friendly type of tampon. It is not so much a cup as a soft silicone rubber goblet around two inches long which is inserted just like its ultra-absorbent counterpart.

The difference is that the cup collects menstrual fluid rather than soaking it up. It is also re-useable, which is why the green lobby love it.

If your initial reaction is "yuck" then don't worry, you're not alone. I agree, it sounds awkward, messy, not to mention downright uncomfortable. Yet converts insist that it is none of the above.

They say that it is easy to insert and, after a bit of getting used to, comfortable to wear. The big plus, though, is that not only is it reliable (it forms a seal on the vaginal wall allowing menstrual fluid to pass into the cup without any spillage) it is actually less hassle than a tampon because you do not need to change it as often. It holds 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one-third of the average total flow produced each period.

Better still, the menstrual cup - sometimes also called "the keeper" - contains no bleach, deodorisers or absorbency gels, so it doesn't interfere with your vagina's natural biological state, nor is it associated with toxic shock syndrome.

The problem is that it just sounds so, well, icky. Imagine the mess if it was to come dislodged while you were wandering down the high street; and what about the rigmarole of having to take it out, wash it and stick it back in all the time? However, if you listen to the Women's Environmental Network who tell us that, in Britain, we now buy more than three billion disposable sanitary items a year (which are currently clogging up landfill sites and polluting the air when incinerated, as well as being flushed out to sea), these inconveniences pale into insignificance.

This might be the reason why washable cloth pads are also enjoying a resurgence. Relying on absorbent materials such as hemp, the pads - such as the Wemoon slim pad (£5.95, treehuggermums.co.uk - are an incarnation of the washable rags that women used centuries ago.

There will need to be a serious change in mindset before the eco-menstrual options ever knock Queen Tampon off her perch, but they're definitely on the up.

MADA caimes hemp cellulose guitar

Invented and developed by designer Adam Wehsely-Swiczinsky and built by guitar-maker Andi Neubauer, the MADA caimes electric guitar features a unique semi-acoustic body composed of 3-dimensionally molded hemp pulp--no carving or milling involved. Because the body consists of only hemp fibers and no plastic, the resulting sound doesn't suffer from resonance gaps.

Fun fact: Willie Nelson will jam out on a MADA caimes at the "Ambassadors of Rock Tour" in honor of the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance (go BioWillie!) at the Hard Rock Cafe New York at Times Square. Hopefully, he won't attempt to smoke it.
 
Hemp For Horses: A Holistic Approach For Better Equine (And Canine) Health

Despite misconceptions about hemp, an increasing number of horse owners are finding that the plant's nutritional properties reduce inflammation and increase the overall well being of their animals (all warm-blooded animals can benefit). "Hemp is emphatically not a drug. It is a natural product that is absolutely safe with no side effects," says Lana Tatarliov, who has launched Hemp for Horses (Hemp for Horses - home). "Feeding hemp to horses provides them with a combination of essential fatty acids not found in other oils."

Although illegal to grow in the United States, the strictly regulated Canadian hemp can be imported to the U.S. "Commercial hemp is tracked, inspected and tested from certified seeds through harvesting to ensure that it contains less than 0.3 percent of the psychoactive agent THC," says Tatarliov.

Tatarliov, an organic farmer who raises beef cattle and Egyptian Arabian horses in Saskatchewan, was inspired when two farmers contacted her to market their human hemp product to horse owners as a holistic approach to better equine health. After seeing the positive results of feeding hemp to her own horses and doing her own research, Tatarliov was convinced that she had a nutritional powerhouse on her hands. In fact, it has been called by some the most nutritionally complete food source in the world.

Tatarliov enumerates the many nutritional qualities of hemp, which include essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, flavonoids, cannabinoids, and terpenoids. "Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, while essential fatty acids are important for the development of the brain, eyes, and nervous system," she says. "Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants, cannabinoids have anti-inflammatory properties, and terpenoids have both, as well as antimicrobial properties." In addition, hemp protein consists of edistin and albumin both commonly thought to be the most easily digestible protein.

While most human hemp food products use only the hemp-seed, Hemp for Horses uses the entire plant harvested at its nutritional peak. It is 100% hemp, with no additives. "We feel that the benefits are greater using the whole plant because there are important compounds in the leaves that are not in the hemp-seed. These compounds provide horses with a number of potential benefits," Tatarliov says.

Tatarliov has solicited owners of several sanctuaries for abused and neglected horses to try the product on their most severe cases of arthritis, joint ailments, inflammation, intestinal conditions, founder, and hard keepers. The results have been astounding with horses regaining their mobility, hard keepers maintaining weight, and attitudes significantly improving with the decrease of pain.

Concluded Tatarliov, "Although this is not a clinical trial per se, we're confident that it will provide owners with the information they need to begin supplementing their horses' diets with hemp." Progress reports on the rescue horses can be found at: Hemp for Horses - home

Hemp for Horses is planning on expanding its product line soon to include horse treats, dog treats, and cat treats. Also in the works is Hemp for Pets a supplement for rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, and other small animals.
