Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not better health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts supporting 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 referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Kombucha Tea safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some mushrooms are poisonous 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 as a health remedy for over two millennium and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage 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 prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over 2000 years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

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

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange 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 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 hardly a smart thing to do.

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 minor 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."]
