Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (CNCK) Taking the Fight to Excessive Sugar with Intuitive SugarChecked App
Content Checked Holdings, through its innovative family of smartphone applications, is addressing the 15 million people in the U.S. living with food allergies, as well as the 38 million people suffering from migraines and chronic headaches. With a simple barcode scan, consumers using the ContentChecked, MigraineChecked and SugarChecked apps can research a food item of interest and immediately be alerted to potential conflicts with their specific dietary needs. While the apps were created to suit the requirements of people with strict dietary restrictions, they are becoming increasingly popular with individuals seeking to improve the quality of their diets by eliminating potentially harmful ingredients.
SugarChecked, in particular, is a popular tool for helping health-conscious shoppers avoid products that have been shown to stimulate diabetes, cancer, obesity and related medical conditions. According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 29 million people in the U.S., or 9.3 percent of the population, have diabetes. Additionally, 86 million adults aged 20 years and older have prediabetes, which means that their blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. Without intervention, prediabetes is likely to become type 2 diabetes in 10 years or less, according to the Mayo Clinic, but studies have shown that healthy lifestyle changes, including eating a healthier diet, can be effective in preventing further progression. In this respect, the market potential for CNCK’s groundbreaking apps is effectively limitless.
In terms of preventing diabetes, SugarChecked is a powerful tool for those looking to improve their diet. The app identifies four main types of sugar – including added sugars, artificial sweeteners, natural low-calorie sweeteners and sugar alcohols – in order to help consumers decipher often-misleading food labels. If a product doesn’t fit into the user’s specific profile, SugarChecked will reference CNCK’s robust database, which includes hundreds of thousands of products, and suggest healthier alternatives in real time.
“SugarChecked addresses a growing problem while empowering people to make smarter choices about their diet,” Kris Finstad, chief executive officer of ContentChecked, stated in a news release. “With cases of diabetes and obesity on the rise – and a direct negative correlation from the excessive intake of sugar – it’s important that we as consumers fully understand the ingredients that go into our food and bodies and what our families eat.”
The SugarChecked app, as well as ContentChecked and MigraineChecked, is currently available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
