EChO – Eradicate Childhood Obesity Foundation, Inc seeks to educate parents and children about the detrimental effects of added sugars, and the role excess sugar consumption plays in the development of childhood obesity. Childhood obesity is a preventable health issue, especially with proper dietary intervention. EChO is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to ending childhood obesity. We believe that limiting sugar consumption is an important factor in maintaining a healthy weight. This belief is supported by the American Heart Association (AHA). For more information on the beneficial effects of limiting sugar consumption and lowering disease risk please read the following article provided by the AHA. Link: http://news.heart.org/kids-and-added-sugars-how-much-is-too-much/ As a part of our mission at EChO to eradicate childhood obesity, we have most recently developed the first Augmented Reality (AR) application, "SugAR Poke" to show users in real-time how much sugar is added and hidden in your food choices, and in turn limit your consumption of those sugars. To support our efforts, please visit and share the app's kickstarter page as every dollar donated aids us in accomplishing our goal of ultimately lowering our nation's childhood obesity rates.
