The month of May has been designated by the medical and dietary communities as Celiac Awareness Month. Celiac disease is an immune reaction related to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. The disease is four times more common now than it was 60 years ago and affects approximately 3 million Americans. The growing incidence of the disease has caused the Mayo Clinic to consider Celiac disease a public health epidemic.

Even people without sensitivity to gluten are choosing gluten-free diets for other reasons. The Mintel New Products Database reports that 65 percent of consumers who eat gluten-free foods do so because they think they are healthier and 27 percent eat them because they feel they aid in their weight-loss efforts.

Growing concern about gluten in our diet has spurred many food and beverage companies to offer gluten-free products. Nearly 600 gluten-free beverage products, both alcohol and non-alcohol, were launched in the past year according to the Mintel.

Syfo Beverages have always been gluten-free and no gluten is used in the manufacturing process. Syfo Original Seltzer and Syfo Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters contain no sugar, sodium, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or other additives. Made from purified water, Syfo is just delicious, healthy pure refreshment.
