Global sections in proper flat families

I was trying to unravel comments under the question When is it true that the ring of global regular functions on a projective variety is just the base ring?. It is apparently being claimed that if a proper morphism of finite presentation between schemes $X\rightarrow S$ is flat and has geometrically connected & reduced fibers then the natural map $$ \mathcal{O}_S(S)\rightarrow \mathcal{O}_X(X) $$ is an isomorphism. Is it true? By Grothendieck's coherence theorem the map is finite but I am not sure what to do next.
