(300,000+ viewers) this week and appeared in the Dec. 3 newspaper (100,000+
circulation). Featuring the recipe and photo for Pork Tenderloin, Potatoes, and
Horseradish-Mustard Seed Sauce as well as the book cover, ordering information
and links to the CanolaInfo and ADA web sites, the article addresses management
and prevention of diabetes through diet.

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chewies and Almond
Cherry Bites, to get a dose of healthy fat from canola oil while satisfying

protectionism," he said. China imports canola primarily for healthy
cooking oil.
