Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of popular stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Aging: "I've shared Kombucha mushroom cultures with many people over the passed 25 years. We drink some everyday. I am 76 years in Dec and my husband is 80 years next April. People do not believe our age because of our looks and our energy level. We love life and try to use those things put here on earth for our health. Thank you!... F.H."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they have heard 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 has been used as a health remedy for over 2000 years and is now being widely sold in health food in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage if it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one has ever died from drinking correctly 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 drink and , but then again some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

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

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This limited problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
