Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not better health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and making it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been 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 sold commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the fermenting tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

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

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

Nobody has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over two millennium. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but then again some few people may be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are harmless but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This limited problem can be 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."]
