About Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are several 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" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - General Health, Cancer, Joint Pains, Appearance: "Hi... My name is Jim I was introduced to the tea about twelve years ago made my first batch thought it was good, drank for a while, during this time my daughter was diognosed with non hoskin lymphonia cancer. She drank the tea for about three months and was given a clean bill of health. Shes now over forty and doing well. I've seen a a man who drank the tea for about a week and stopped using his walker. Myself I drank on and off until about a year ago when the doctor told me I was growing cacarats so I drank it daily. I'm 70 years old, I take no medicines, pass for fifty, at least that is what I'm told. I only go to the doctor for check ups. Not bieng sick is the greatest blessing one could have, not having those aches, the joint pains, great. I must give some credit to the tea. Thanks... J.W."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because are aware that some fungi are poisonous or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for thousands of years it is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage if it is correctly prepared in a clean manner 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 because it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage 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 may be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. 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 usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common food molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem is 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."]
