“Kickstarter is an exciting platform for opening a direct dialogue with fans, gaining valuable user feedback, and growing awareness for our pro-water, anti-sugar mission. At the same time, we can thank supporters for their pledges through various rewards including receiving one of the very first Fred Water Flasks before they hit retail shelves,” said Adam Gayner, co-founder and CEO.
A leading voice in the anti-sugar movement Dr. Robert Lustig, who is featured in the critically acclaimed documentary FED UP said, “The stark reality is there is too much sugar in our food supply. This inconvenient truth is finally becoming a part of the national conversation: from the water cooler to carpools to the boardrooms of the biggest corporations in the world. If we hope to turn the tide of preventable diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes and fatty liver disease, we must act now. Many companies are getting the message, and now promote low or no sugar alternatives. For those that do play a positive role in promoting a healthier culture, I applaud them.”
