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

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the fermenting tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for over 2000 years 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 Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you make 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 helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 then again some few people may be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink large quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are not harmful but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This limited problem is easily prevented by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
