Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really work? Answer is...Yes! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha


Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal stories telling of 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It grows on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Is Kombucha safe?



Most ask this question because they have heard that some fungi are toxic or they have been misinformed 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 two millennium and is now being sold in food and health in the USA, 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 stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No person has ever died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage 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 beverage and , but then again some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking very large quantities 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 not harmful but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor 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."]
