Circle Group Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CRGQ) reported today that the University of Illinois
will create a Palm OS version of its Nutritional Analysis Tools ("NATS") web
site in order to make its nutritional analysis information available to the
growing number of Palm and other handheld device users, which is expected to
surpass twenty-four million in the U.S. alone by 2005.
Assistant Professor
Dr. James Painter, co-developer of the original NATS site, will oversee the
project. Circle Group Holdings, Inc. owns the worldwide rights for all fields
of use to the Nutritional Analysis Tools website. Developed by Dr. James
Painter at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, NATS is a software and
database system providing users from more than 90 countries the ability to
monitor their dietary intake and fitness activities in a private convenient
and effective manner. The NATS web site, NATS , currently
gets up to two million hits a month from health and nutrition seekers in
ninety-two countries.
"NATS provides one of the world's best free nutritional analysis tools to
help consumers analyze and improve their diets, health, and fitness," said
Greg Halpern, CEO of Circle Group Holdings. "Using USDA guidelines, and
product information provided by most of the world's major food companies, NATS
will soon provide a Palm OS hand held version for millions of users worldwide
who want to keep track of their calories, fats, and overall nutritional intake
and expenditures while on the go. With today's fast paced lifestyles, we feel
this could become the nutritional software of choice, and allow us to connect
consumers globally with our roll out of Z-Trim."
