Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Colds, flu, energy, cancer: "I have been drinking Kombucha Mushroom Tea for over 15 years now. I no longer get colds or flu and my energy level is unsurpassed by any of my friends! I am healthy, happy, energetic. I LOVE THIS TEA! I am not using it to CURE anything, but I drink 16-24 ounces each day and notice a big difference if I don't drink it for a day or two. I make my own and I am very careful to avoid any type of contamination. My kids think I am crazy because of the way it smells. But it kept my DOG alive for 7 extra years (she was diagnosed with cancer!) and the vet cannot explain it! To me, it is WONDERFUL and I will drink it until the day I die!!!... P.S."

Kombucha Tea safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some mushrooms are poisonous or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for over two millennium it is now being sold in food and health in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No one has died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but some few people could be sensitive to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long in which case it becomes more sour. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are harmless but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem can be easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
