Question of the day; Does Kombucha really work? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and preparing it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated 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 expense of such medical studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores 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 commonly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they know that some mushrooms are poisonous 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 Tea has been used for health improvement for over 2000 years and is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one has 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 some few people could be allergic to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long in which case it becomes more sour. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish 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 likely. Most common such molds are harmless but they 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."]
