About Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that is often drunk 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 medical studies. There are several centuries of popular stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles 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 misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not poisonous. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for thousands of years 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 FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

Nobody has ever died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over 2000 years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people could be allergic to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange 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 were to huge amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This small 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."]
