Question of the month; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...Yes! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for over 2000 years.

Description of Kombucha

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

Is Kombucha safe?

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

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over two millennium and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores 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 stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe drink provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by 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 makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No one has died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over two millennium. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

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 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 longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking very large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

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