In an effort to improve consumers' health, seven emerging food and beverage brands have recently joined forces to form a new health coalition ACES, the Alliance to Control Excessive Sugar. The brands include Enlightened, HighKey, Koia, Lemon Perfect, OLIPOP, Super Coffee, and Three Wishes.
The goal of ACES is to educate consumers on the dangers of excessive sugar intake and increase the accessibility of healthier options -- without sacrificing taste. As an alternative to choosing between health and flavor, these companies use zero-calorie sweeteners and delicious, nutritious ingredients.
"America’s go-to brands are loaded with sugar and unnecessary calories that make food and drinks taste good but at the expense of health and wellness," says the Chair of ACES and CEO of Super Coffee, Jimmy DeCicco. "At ACES, we’re committed to showing consumers that there’s a better way – food and beverages that are low in sugar and don’t compromise on taste."
