Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the fermenting tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Is Kombucha safe?

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

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for thousands of 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 found this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

Nobody has ever died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over two millennium. 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 sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking very large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are harmless but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor 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."]
