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.
