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

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some fungi are poisonous or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not poisonous. 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 sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper 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 if it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage 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 correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 beverage and , but 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 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 very large quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can spoil 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."]
