AUSTIN, TX  – On Thursday, June 6, 2013, Adams® Extract & Spice will be presenting the American Diabetes Association – Austin Chapter, with two $1,250 charitable donation checks for both the Austin and Waco Areas.

Adams® Extract & Spice has committed $15,000 to the American Diabetes Association. To help raise awareness, each month, a check for $1,250.00 will be presented to a  American Diabetes Association Chapter in the State of Texas.

Recent studies are showing the average American is consuming more than the daily recommended amounts of calories, salts, and sugars, most of these coming from fast, processed and prepared foods, and a leading contributor to health related diseases. Adams® believes going home to cook fresh foods, properly prepared and seasoned, is half the battle in the fight to control and eliminate these diseases such as diabetes.

Texans are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as over 1.8 million people suffer from the disease, and thousands may have diabetes and not know it! It is the sixth leading cause of death in the state of Texas, and the fourth leading cause of death among the African-American and Hispanic communities in Texas. That is why the American Diabetes Association's Austin office is so committed to educating the public and providing information and resources to 26 counties in the Central Texas region, having a combined population of approximately 2.8 million people.

Adams® Extract & Spice operates out of Gonzales, Texas, and produces more than 300 extracts, spices, and colorings. The company is best known for its ADAMS BEST® Vanilla.
