Kombucha

Post by MachineGhost »

What is everyone's direct and/or indirect experience with kombucha? Let's hear some stories!

I drink it, I like it. Started with the store-bought stuff, but there's a fermented-food stand at the farmer's market, so I buy from them.

What's an indirect experience? Like if someone drinks it and pukes on your shoes?

LOl, no stories about if other people than yourself who drank it.

What health benefits have you personally experienced?

Hmm, I'm pretty healthy. I'm not sure what can be attributed to this specific beverage, as I eat a lot of fermented food for health benefits. Also, shiitake, blueberries, etc. Things I like or can tolerate which purportedly are good for one's body.

I know some people take vitamins and then start to imagine that their fingernails are stronger than they used to be, but I feel pretty much the same.

I definitely have experienced no adverse effects from kombucha.

I'm a bit off topic, MG, but there is one thing from which I can confidently say I draw benefits: fiber.

Not only does it make me feel better, I also think it is the secret to longevity.
