Question of the week; Does Kombucha really work? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. 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 many centuries of anecdotal 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 a true mushroom. It grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Is Kombucha safe?

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

Kombucha Tea has been used as a health remedy for over 2000 years and is now being sold in food and health in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No person has ever died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 drink and , but then again some few people might be sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange 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 amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking very large quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common food molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This limited problem can be 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."]
