Question of the week; Does Kombucha really work? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not help to improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly forms on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Diabetes: "I am a middled aged Type I insulin dependent diabetic, female. I first learned of kombucha tea through my sister who is an RN. I tried it. I was absolutely astounded to see that my need for insulin dropped considerably almost immediately, like the next day. And as long as I stayed on the tea, my body needed to be injected with less insulin. For those of you who don't know, the less insulin you have to inject, the healthier your body is. This past weekend I had company. We took an out-of-town train tour of my state. I didn't drink kombucha tea. What happened? Blood sugar levels went up! I got right back on kombucha tea and am now back on low need for insulin. This is for me something to shout about... M.B."

Is Kombucha safe?

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

Kombucha Tea has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, far less expensive 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 correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No one has 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 beverage and , but then again some few people may be sensitive to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink very large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking very large amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

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