About Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that many 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 expense of such studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It grows on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

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

Kombucha Tea has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium it is now being sold in food and health in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if 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 as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

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 over 2000 years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

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

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long in which case it becomes more sour. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is usually not a good idea.

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