WAT-AAH! Aims to Help Combat Childhood and Teen Obesity Epidemic by
Offering First Healthy Drink Alternative With Attitude, Not Sugar
NEW YORK, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Childhood and teen obesity continues to be a pressing public health concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 15 percent of children and teens are overweight (almost 9 million), and another 19 percent are considered at risk for becoming overweight-triple the statistic rates documented in the 1980's.
A new line of water is aiming to help combat the obesity epidemic by offering the first healthy drink alternative specially targeted to kids and teens. New York-based, Let Water Be Water, LLC, announces the launch of WAT- AAH!(TM), a premium line of sugar-free, functional water for kids ages 6-15. The line will be available at Whole Foods, Amish Market, Bazzini, and other fine retail outlets in New York City starting in June and at http://www.drinkwataah.com.
No other water product currently on the market for kids and teens can

additives and sugar. The first four products being introduced are:
-- WAT-AAH! Bones, the first premium water with calcium to help bone

encourage faster absorption, hydration and cooling down
-- WAT-AAH! Energy, the first premium water with electrolytes and oxygen
for increased metabolic function and energy
-- WAT-AAH! Body, the foundation for the brand with simple and super clean
