Diseases crucify the soul of man, attenuate our bodies, dry them, wither them, rivel them up like old apples, make them as so many Anatomies. ~Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of popular stories supporting 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" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a 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 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 food and health 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 if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food 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 beverage which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage 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 itch.

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

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This small problem can be easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
