Crunchy, Healthy Cookies Deliver Old-Fashioned Good Taste: La Vita Introduces Eight New Prebiotic Cookie Varieties
La Vita Health Foods has introduced a line of cookies with a low glycemic index that are also prebiotic, vegan and Kosher, and cholesterol, wheat, dairy and lactose-free. These La Vita All Natural Crunchy Cookies contain no high fructose corn syrup, maltitol, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives and still have a year-long shelf life.
“When family and friends visit this year, hosts can offer adults and children alike La Vita Crunchy Cookies,” said Zina Minz, founder of La Vita Health Foods. “They’re suitable for guests with special dietary needs, or just watching what they eat. As a family-run business, those values are so important to us at La Vita and are always at the forefront of our minds.”
Industry-savvy attendees at the 54th Fancy Food Show in New York City recently proclaimed the cookies the best-tasting sugar free and gluten free cookie they had tried.
“Until now, most healthy, high-fiber cookies simply have not been very enjoyable to eat,” Minz said. “We developed La Vita All Natural Crunchy Cookies to have a delicious homemade taste and fresh-baked texture that melts in your mouth.”
After two decades of research and testing in Israel and Europe, La Vita’s unique soy-flour recipes and baking processes now allow the firm to offer its nutritious alternative to “traditional” grocery-store baked goods, which usually contain artificial preservatives, colors and flavors.
La Vita Crunchy Cookies are available in eight varieties, based on classic recipes updated with a modern twist to appeal to today’s health-conscious eaters. These include Poppy Seed, delightfully matched with a whisper of light lemony goodness, Peanut Butter, for that rich, satisfying wholesomeness, and Cajun, which features cayenne, red peppers and chicory and is subtly sweet with a pleasant saltiness.
Try some out at your next party or as a gift. For once, you can be sure no one will miss the “junk” food!

Surya Brasil Introduces First Brazilian Organic Body Care Line for Men
Posted - December 8, 2008
Male Cosmetics with Essential Oils, Healthy Proteins and Mild Cleansing Agents
Surya Brasil, premier supplier of organic and natural cosmetics from Brazil, recently launched Sapien, an exciting new organic body care line for men, featuring the products at BioFach America Latina and Expo East.
Formulated for male skin and hair, the line features pure essential oils, gluten-free amaranth proteins and mild cleansing agents gentle enough for a man’s sensitive side yet effective enough to do the job. Each of the six formulations is certified organic through EcoCert and is cruelty-free.
“Concerns about persistent bioaccumulation of toxins in our environment have heightened our awareness about the chemicals we use in our personal care products,” says Clelia Angelon, President and Founder of the Surya Brasil brand. “Because of this, we have not included synthetic fragrance, artificial color, GMOs, artificial preservatives, sulfates, phthalates, silicone or petroleum by-products.”
Distinctively different, Sapien is a luxurious way for men to groom naturally. Using ethically-harvested plants and fruits from the Amazon, these body care products provide the elements necessary for healthy, radiant hair and a beautiful complexion. A subtle, woody aroma comes from a blend of essential oils such as cedarwood, lemon, bergamot and clove.
For more on the 2-in-1 shampoo, shower gel, facial scrub, shaving cream, after shave and hair styling gel with ingredients such as acai and acerola, visit Surya Brasil’s website.
Surya is a member of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and PETA. Surya Brasil products are available at health food stores, pharmacies, beauty supply outlets and other fine stores throughout the world.
