If you are looking
for information relating refined and excessive dietary carbohydrates
to hypertension, hypoglycemia, diabetes, hypercholesteremia, weight
gain, PCOS or just plain feeling lousy, you've come to the right place.
If you are looking for information on and links to the "low carb diet"
plans, or you're already familiar with LC ("low carb") and are looking
for directions to some great recipe collections, you've ALSO come to
the right place.
Finally, if you have
been searching for a Canadian source to buy hard-to-find quality
low and controlled carb ingredients food products, you've definitely
come to the right place. Wholesale [click here for more info] enquiries
are also welcome.
I started this process
as a "CO-OP" with the express purpose of making quality, high-demand
Low and Controlled Carbohydrate and Low Glycemic products available
to Canadians, no matter where they might live in Canada, because
I couldn't readily get them myself in Canada though I searched far and
wide. The Canadian prices given here include all
exchange and customs costs, they've already
been taken care of, no surprises for you.
ALERT!
there is legislation in place here in Canada which
has come into effect December 2005 for "large" companies and December
2007 for "small" (< $1M/annum in sales) companies. This legislation
is being interpreted by the CFIA and Health Canada to mean, essentially,
that the words Carb, Low Carb, Net Carb, etc., can't be used on
any product labels, the advertising for products, or even in a
long existing product name (!), etc. All of this is NOT based
on any of the current research (see www.lowcarbresearch.org
for a very informative collection of current,
valid research related to carbohydrate metabolism) but rather
on the premise that "low carb" has not been proven as
a healthy dietary approach -- speaking of which, neither has "low
fat", especially in the light of the current diabetes and
obesity epidemics.
Meaning that those companies, large and small,
who have already spent money developing products and product lines,
spent money on labels and marketing, such as for CarboLite or
Keto or Heinz 1-Carb, etc., either change all the labels (and
the product names) -- very expensive! -- or don't bother either
developing them in Canada or shipping them across the border.
Bottom line? Canadians will have less choice
-- again. We're back to square one, only worse.
If you'd like to register your
objection to this process, here are a couple of web links where
you can contact these governmental bodies (and please, DO consider
sending a CC of any email or contact to your MP).
Though it is undoubtedly
true that all one NEEDS to live the Low or Controlled Carb or SugarFree
Life is a grocery store -- low starch/sugar and brightly coloured veggies,
good quality meats, fish, eggs, these are VERY good things -- it is
also true that when one misses certain "high carb" foods, it's better
to try some Low or Controlled Carb substitutes rather than give
in to temporary cravings that ultimately make one feel less well...
and GOOD QUALITY substitutes are hard to find and time-consuming to
make from scratch (though I do that, too).
So I present a few
very high quality lines of low-carb products, available by e/mail-order
direct to Canadians wherever they might live in Canada, as well as selected
hard-to-find ingredients to help in the kitchen. Only the best. Click
on any highlighted Products link for detailed
product, pricing and in-Canada order process
information.
At this time, some
of the available product lines are: (note:
the following are information links only, and open in a new webpage
for your browsing...to actually place Canadian orders, close those windows
when done browsing and return here, accessing any Products
link)
if you don't care for the aftertaste
of stevia, can't handle artificial intense sweeteners,
even Splenda®, here's the original and all-natural sweetener
alternative to both artificial sweeteners and stevia!
How Does This WebStore
Work?
Your orders are placed
(see the Products/Ordering
webpage, How To Order section) by email
or fax, you receive a quote within 2-3 working days - including any
in-Canada ship costs and estimated shipping timeframe - which you can
confirm with payment using cheque, money-order, HyperWallet email transfer
or PayPal [click here for information or
to sign up free].
Your order will be hand-packed and shipped to you within 2-3 working
days of your confirmation payment on a best-effort basis.
I carry the listed
products in inventory (which has already been paid for) and only new
products must be Special Ordered (I order in commercial case-lots when
total individual orders add up to a case). Please do enquire about any
products you don't see that interest you.
For Special Orders
-- usually a new line of products -- this 'just-in-time' inventory process
can sometimes take a bit longer than ordering direct through a US manufacturer
or online store, but then again, you will know exactly what, in Canadian
dollars, the price will be. Which is a nice change from ordering over
the border yourself. Where possible, I have improved on the Manufacturers'
Suggested Retail Price ($CA equivalent, price set at the time of the
product purchased into inventory by me). I handle all border and brokerage
issues, and you pay only for shipping within Canada, from
me to you, at the most economical available shipping rates. So if you're
interested in a new product, or one you don't see here, please do contact
me and I'll see what I can do for you.
Any profit is turned
back into the business to allow more stock on hand and to expand the
product lines, so support Canadian entrepreneurial spirit, have a positive
effect on availability of Low or Controlled Carb products in Canada
AND get some of what you want... buy your Low or Controlled Carb products here.
Again, contact me, I may have new products
coming in or I might be able to refer you to another Canadian source
for what you're looking for!
For any Americans who have found their
way here, I recommend either Netrition.com
or the original LowCarber-started and managed
[click here] [<-- click through on their
logo] for their excellent prices and
a growing selections of quality Low
or Controlled Carb, Low Glycemic and Sugar
Free products, supplements and books.
Of course, please
contact me (see the email
link below) if you are interested in the current state of low or controlled carb food
product development in Canada.
