Solid Gold® continues to bethe leader In natural pet nutrition.<br />
In 1974, Solid Gold® introduced thefirst natural dog food in theU.S. In 1985, Solid Gold introduced thefirst holistic dog food in<br />
the U.S.<br />
Now, Solid Gold® introduces its new FUN products called Functional Foodz. Functional foods arefoods that have health benefits<br />
in addition to the usual ingredients.<br />
Dragon's Teeth dog biscuits are made for medium and large size dogs. Dragonette biscuits are for the small mouth. These biscuits<br />
benefit the teeth,gums and otherareas. They are available in 1 lb. and2 1/2lb.resealable containers.<br />
Our protein source is very unique and exclusive to Solid Gold®. It is South Antarctic Knll, which look like small shrimp. Knll<br />
contains beta-carotene in the formof Astazanthin, whichhelps the heart and circulation and chitosen, whichhas the abilityto absorb<br />
excess fat. Krill is used in many weight loss formulas. In one study (Christansen et al, 1994), krill was found toenhance disease resist<br />
ance and boost survival rates. Because it is a good source of minerals, krill intensifies pigment.<br />
Dragon's Teeth and Dragonettes also contain oatmeal, spelt (an ancient grain), canola oil, flax meal, spinach, perilla oil, olive leaf<br />
extract, green tea, xylitol, chlorophyll and peppermint.<br />
• Spinach is a source of chlorophyll and vitamin C.Every cellinthebody contains chlorophyll, which transmits electricity and enables thecells to communicate<br />
with each other.<br />
• Perilla Oilis aneasy on thestomach, which contains high levels of omega 3 fatty acids. It is anexcellent aidtoweight loss. Patients with colitis, heart disease<br />
and breast and colon cancer are advised to use it by their doctors.<br />
• Astaxanthinhas been used to help reverse maculardegeneration of the eyes.<br />
• Xylitol is ourstar! Researchers inSweden gave chewing gum that contained xylitol to school children three times a day forfive years. When the children were<br />
examined fortooth decay, notonechildhaddecayed teeth. Then,for another fiveyears, no xylitol wasgiven in thegum.Again, lessthan 10% hada cavity!<br />
The researchers concluded that the xylitol had somehow imparted a permanent protection to the teeth.<br />
Xylitol has additional benefits. It is used in a nasal spray and has been shown to be helpful with asthma and ear infections. In an<br />
experiment, even after four days of non use, bad bacteria and staph infections disappeared! (Zabner, National Academy of Science<br />
Magazine, Oct 2000). When pregnant women chewed gum with xylitol, fewer infections, particularly staph, were passed on to the<br />
newborn infants.At age5, thesechildren had70% fewercavitieswithouteverbeingdirectlyexposedto xylitol. (Soderling et al.Journal<br />
of Dental Research, March 2000)<br />
Xylitol is rated as a naturally occurring food substance. It has been giventhe safestrating by the World Health Organization and<br />
the FDA. Since it is not a drug, the pharmaceutical industry is not interested in it.<br />
Recently, an articleappeared in a dog magazine warning peoplenot to give xylitolto dogs.The writerhadnot done his homework.<br />
One article said two dogs go sick. Another article said 45 dogs got sick. We contacted Tufts University to speak with the original<br />
researcher. He wasn't there, but his assistant was kind enough to send us a summary of the research.<br />
A nine month old puppy (weight not given) ate over 100 pieces of xylitol candy (4 month supply) all at one time.Another,nine year<br />
old dog (weight not given), ate an entire pound of xylitol all at one time. The xylitol was going to be used in some baked goods. Both<br />
dogs got sick. Who wouldn't! Both dogs were treated by a vet and survived. So much for the writer getting his facts together!<br />
The other outstanding ingredient in Dragon's Teeth and Dragonettes is Green Tea. This ancient Chinese ingredient was first used as<br />
an anti-aging product for a thousand years. It was used internally and externally. Green Tea was used in<br />
preparation for youthful cell rejuvenation. In modem times, it has been found to be anti-viral and<br />
anti-bacterial.<br />
A bit of history - The 2004 Olympics were held in Athens, Greece. The Greek Goddess Athena<br />
was the protector ofancient Athens. People also think ofher as the goddess of wisdom. In Athens,<br />
there are quite a few statues of Athena with snakes around her. In ancient times, snakes were<br />
supposed to impart wisdom.<br />
Remember, the snake in the Garden of Eden gave Eve the fmit. The snake promised the fhiit<br />
was from the Tree of Wisdom and she wanted wisdom, so she ate it. Throughout time, the snake<br />
changed form. In China, the snake became the dragon. Red is the color ofluck in China. So, now you<br />
know where we got the idea for the red dragon on the package.<br />
Dragon's Teeth and Dragonettes containers are available at your local Solid Gold retailer. If they<br />
don't have them, ask them to order them in for you.<br />
