Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not better health why have millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that many 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 studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories supporting 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 forms the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some mushrooms are toxic 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 as a health remedy for thousands of 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 Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage if it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated 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 person has died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over two millennium. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

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

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 cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are harmless but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small 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."]
