Question of the day; 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 preparing it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such 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 spongy 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 really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some mushrooms are poisonous or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and 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 over 2000 years it is now being widely sold in health food 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 this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking properly prepared 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 things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long in which case it becomes more sour. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common food molds are harmless but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This limited problem can be easily prevented by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
