Question of the day; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and making it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being 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 available 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they know that some mushrooms are toxic or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not poisonous. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over two millennium it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

Nobody has ever died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of 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 some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin or itch.

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

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed drugs.

There is nothing that is dangerous about this beneficial beverage; it is a great tasting drink that can can improve health!
