Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Yes! If it did not help to improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Cancer: "You don't have to sell me on the power of the kombucha. i know it works and it is a gift from God literally. My mother passed away of cancer 8 yrs ago. they gave her 6 months to live. she never stopped smoking and drank heavily. Even so i got her to use the TEA and she started to go into remision, instead of living only 6 months she lived 4 yrs! and she only took maybe 8 ounces a day and sometimes missed a day or two... D.M."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they know that some fungi are toxic or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not poisonous. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for thousands of years and is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over 2000 years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but then again some few people could be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking very large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

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