NutriOne Announces Canola Oil Granted Coveted FDA Heart Health Claim

MIAMI BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - November 17, 2006) - NutriOne Corp. (PINKSHEETS: NNCP) announced today that one of its main ingredients has received the coveted FDA Heart Health Claim.

Dr. Simon Phaneuf MD, M.B.A., Director, announced today that "NutriOne was delighted to hear that the FDA has granted a qualified health claim for Canola oil on its potential to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, owing to its unsaturated fat content. Canola is high in healthy unsaturated fats (93%), free of cholesterol and trans fats, and has the lowest saturated fat (7%) of any common edible oil." Dr. Nicolas Matossian, Chairman, reiterates that "Some time ago our research team recognized the outstanding health qualities of Canola and has included it into many of our nutraceutical ingredients, the claim is a strong incentive for consumers to switch to heart healthy Canola with its superior nutritional profile; our family of products are built around the health properties of Canola."
