Question of the week; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and brewing it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but 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 looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Skin, Hair, Service: "I made and drank Kombucha religiously for 3 years and know from experience that the health benefits are phenomonal. The difference in skin and hair are amazing. When we moved to our new home my Kombucha was accidently destroyed. I had tried in vain to find another starter, but everyone I had given one to, and the person who gave me my initial starter, had gotten tired of the brewing process and let their's die. Ironically they had realized the difference and were also looking for a new starter. Last year after finaly venturing into Internet-land I decided to check for Kombucha and found this site. I ordered a starter and have had my wonderful Kombucha tea ever since. This site is wonderful, orders are quickly delivered with much care in the packaging, the Kombucha is authentic not scrap or scam and recently I had reason to call for help with a minor Kombucha problem and the gentleman I spoke with was polite and courteous. He took his time and helped me with my problem step by step. In other words his services are just wonderful. If anyone has any doubts about Kombucha it's great and so is this site and company. I would advise anyone to go Kombucha America and get their starter from this company... K.D."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium and is now being sold in food and health in the U.S., 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 beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No one has ever died from drinking properly 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 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 too long to a more sour condition. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink very large quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common food molds are harmless but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed drugs.

There is nothing that is inherently dangerous about this amazing tea; it is a delicious and safe beverage that can can improve health!
