Reed’s, Inc. Exhibits at American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2009 Annual Meeting

Study findings released showing ginger provides significant reduction of chemotherapy-induced nausea

LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2009 (MARKETWIRE) -- Reed's, Inc. (NASDAQ: REED), maker of the top-selling sodas in natural food stores nationwide, announced today that it exhibited at the ASCO 2009 Annual Meeting. Founded in 1964, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) is the world’s leading professional organization representing physicians who treat people with cancer. ASCO released the official findings of a study funded by the National Cancer Institute on the effects of ginger on post-chemo nausea at the meeting.

The ASCO Annual Meeting is considered the premier educational and scientific event in the oncology community. More than 26,000 professionals attended the educational and scientific sessions that offered cutting-edge information on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer.

“It was exciting to be there alongside companies that provide cancer treatments and support services,” stated Mr. Chris Reed, Founder and CEO of Reed’s, Inc. “The original intent of this company was to be able to help people by providing a ginger tonic disguised as a soft drink. It’s great to get validation from the medical industry on the effectiveness of ginger in treating nausea. I’m pretty sure we’re the first soft drink company to find our all-natural main ingredient competing with drugs.”

Reed added, “It’s nice to be valued as more than just a fun, thirst-quenching beverage company. Ginger has many other traditional uses and seems to be attracting more and more research. I have seen numerous studies around ginger and its cancer-fighting properties; I have seen medical studies where ginger beats Dramamine, a popular motion sickness drug. In Europe, they use ginger for arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. I hear from customers that are using it to relieve migraines and other inflammation conditions. Ginger is one folk medicine that seems to hold up to medical scrutiny.”

“We get a pretty steady stream of people emailing to tell us how well our drinks work in helping them overcome nausea and digestive complaints and particularly post-chemo nausea. We will continue to expand on the many contacts we have received at this show to help promote our drink’s benefits to the oncology industry,” concluded Reed.
