About Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based beverage 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 expense of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

After only 2 weeks for me. (I am 50-menopause) She is 20... M.L.P."

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for thousands of years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to 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.

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