Healthy Beverages aim to improve kids' health
The Healthy Beverage Company introduces its line of Steaz Sparkling Green Tea drinks set to promote healthier drinking habits and offer an alternative to regular sodas. Unlike the majority of soft drinks containing high fructose corn syrup, which is thought to contribute towards ailments like diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis, it is sweetened using organic sugar cane and provides the usual health benefits associated with green tea - antioxidants and polyphenols. To reinforce products appeal to the young - and their more grown-up and increasingly health-conscious entourage - the company simultaneously launches a program promoting healthier dietary habits at schools. Taking advantage of growing skepticism towards the availability of junk food on educational premises, the company from Newton, PA has found a promising niche for beverages that ally the sweet taste that kids are used with the health benefits that their parents care for.
