Xylitol Canada Announces the Launch of the Xyla(TM) Complete Xylitol Oral Care Line; 2 Years of Research and Development Culminate in First of Its Kind Offering

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:12 AM on Monday, April 7th, 2014

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(April 7, 2014) – Xylitol Canada Inc. (“Xylitol Canada“, or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:XYL) today announced that it has released its North American made xylitol oral care line.

The oral care line, which has been in development for 2 years, was released in Toronto, ON Canada on April 1st, 2014. The line consists of an adult mouthwash and toothpaste and a separate mouthwash and toothpaste for children. The products are sugar free, 100% natural, alcohol free, and fluoride free.

“Well over 50% of xylitol awareness comes from dentists and hygienists talking about the benefits of xylitol to their patients. Our oral care launch allows us to address this market directly with an everyday consumable item. Many of our customers have been asking about this product line for the past 6 months, so needless to say we are very pleased to release it into the marketplace. The timing couldn’t be better with more and more consumers scouring labels, avoiding sugar, avoiding artificial sweeteners, and looking for natural alternatives. This trend has gained substantial momentum through the media in the past 12 months,” said Andrew Reid, CEO of Xylitol Canada.

The oral care line can be purchased at www.XylitolCanada.com – and soon will be found in retailers throughout Canada and the United States. For USA customers, please visit www.XylitolUSA.com.

Visit Xylitol Canada at the CHFA West Show in Vancouver BC at booth #504 where Xylitol Canada will be launching the product to the trade.

About Xylitol Canada Inc.

Xylitol Canada markets xylitol and xylitol based-products and is focused on becoming a major low-cost manufacturer of xylitol and related products, serving the global market from operations in North America.

AGORACOM Best Of The Best – April 5, 2014

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:34 PM on Saturday, April 5th, 2014

AGORACOM Founder, George Tsiolis and Chief Market Commentator, Allan Barry Go Via Satellite to discuss and debate Allan’s Best picks this week. Companies Included on this week’s show are:

WHY IS JULY 11, 2013 SO IMPORTANT?

Allan and George have already put their viewers well ahead of the game by starting their weekly broadcasts on July 11, 2013 on the thesis that great small-cap companies were so oversold they could not be ignored. One look at the TSX Venture Index proves they hit the nail on the head … but that doesn’t come close to telling the whole story with most of their picks far outperforming an exchange bloated with zombie companies.

Find out which companies Allan and George like this week by watching the video below!

KWG Applauds Announcement of ONTC Developments

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:42 PM on Friday, April 4th, 2014

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(April 4, 2014) – KWG Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KWG) (“KWG”) is very encouraged that Minister of Northern Development and Mines Michael Gravelle earlier today announced his support for the development and renewal of the capacities of the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.

“Around the globe, the recurring challenge of insuring the environmental and economic sustainability of bulk commodity extraction and processing – is transportation,” said KWG President Frank Smeenk. “One of the unique blessings of the location of the Ring of Fire discovery in Northern Ontario is the opportunity to exploit it with the multi-billion dollar legacy infrastructure assets of the Ontario Northland Railroad. This is very substantial capital that need not be spent or amortized in fixing very long term and large tonnage transportation costs. It is a huge competitive advantage.”

“The ONR has lost one freight customer after another in recent years, to the point where its survival became very questionable. The discovery of the Ring of Fire’s chromite deposits now promises to insure substantial bulk freight traffic for many generations. This can revive and expand the ONR. In fact, we have suggested that the Minister consider if the ONTC Act might be amended to become the Northland Development Corporation Act. This would be consistent with the ONTC’s original mandate and the Minister’s expressed desire to have new infrastructure requirements met by a focused development corporation.”

About KWG: KWG has a 30% interest in the Big Daddy chromite deposit and the right to earn 80% of the Black Horse chromite occurrence where resources are being defined. KWG also owns 100% of Canada Chrome Corporation which has staked claims and conducted a $15 million surveying and soil testing program for the engineering and construction of a railroad to the Ring of Fire from Exton, Ontario.

Here’s What 1,544 Doctors Had to Say About Medical Marijuana

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:00 AM on Thursday, April 3rd, 2014
The news: More than half of doctors in the U.S. think that medical marijuana should be legalized on a federal level, and two-thirds think it should be an available medical option for patients, according to a new survey conducted by Medscape.The medical site surveyed more than 1,544 doctors from more than 12 specialties in 48 states. Already, 21 states as well as Washington, D.C. allow some form of medical marijuana use, while another 10 states are considering legislation to do the same.Current federal law classifies marijuana as a Schedule I substance, which is the most dangerous classification for drugs with “no accepted medicinal use and a high potential for abuse.” While Medscape’s findings suggest that at least two-thirds of doctors disagree with the DEA’s stance on marijuana, the rates varying among various specialties. For example, 82% of both oncologists (cancer treatment specialists) and hematologists (blood specialists) say weed provides real medical benefits to patients and support access to medical marijuana. Rheumatologists, who provide specialist services to patients with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, had the smallest percentage in favor of medical marijuana use, but still managed a 54% majority.

Growing support: In states where medical marijuana is illegal, or in states where medical marijuana is still being considered, about half of doctors support legalization. Here’s a more in-depth look at the statistics, as reported by WebMD:

69% say it can help with certain treatments and conditions.
67% say it should be a medical option for patients.
56% support making it legal nationwide.
50% of doctors in states where it is not legal say it should be legal in their states.
52% of doctors in states considering new laws say it should be legal in their states.

A companion study of 2,960 random site visitors to WebMD found split support for medical marijuana.

50% support making it legal nationwide.
49% of consumers in states where it is not legal say it should be legal in their states.
52% say it can help with treatments and conditions.
45% say the benefits outweigh the risks.

However, majorities of both doctors and those polled by WebMD did not support legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

Another study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that even higher percentages of its readership — about 76% — would prescribe marijuana to a patient experiencing severely painful symptoms from advanced breast cancer.
