About Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they know that some fungi 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 for health improvement for over 2000 years it is now being widely sold in health food in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has found this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

Nobody has ever died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage 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 might be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange 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 quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking very large amounts of anything is usually not a wise 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 spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
