Nutrisoda FOCUS and Academic Performance

The Gaffney Middle School in South Carolina’s Cherokee County School District chose Nutrisoda Focus to test a hypothesis regarding the impact of dietary change on academic performance.

Over a 90-day period, in a controlled study, 200 South Carolinian 7th grade students received identical breakfasts during homeroom. The 100 students in group A were also served an 8.4 ounce can of Focus Nutrisoda with breakfast. The 100 students in group B were not served Nutrisoda Focus. Results showed improved standardized test results in the group of 100 students who drank nutrient-enhanced Focus. Standardized test scores increased by 8.9 percent over test results from their previous school year.
