The drink became popular in Japan and Russia before spreading to Europe at the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. In recent years, US sales of bottled kombucha increased such that in 2016 big beverage business PepsiCo purchased kombucha maker KeVita for approximately $200 million dollars to get into the game<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What IS Kombucha?<\/h3>\n<p>A kombucha culture is a combination of certain bacteria and yeast. The culture is added to a broth of sugared tea and left to ferment in a sterile environment for a period of up to 10 to 14 days at room temperature. The resulting liquid is strained and bottled for a secondary ferment lasting a few days<sup>3<\/sup>. Homebrewers must prepare with caution as the drink can grow harmful bacteria or mold. Experts recommend using proper hand sanitation and sterile glass, stainless steel or plastic containers to ensure safe brewing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Is it Healthy?<\/h3>\n<p>Some health claims promoted by kombucha advocates include, but are not limited to, boosting energy and the immune system, weight loss, warding off high blood pressure, cancer and heart disease. These claims, though fantastic, are unsupported by reputable evidence-based research. Therefore, consumers should choose kombucha products based on taste preferences and not health claims.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One likely health benefit of kombucha is the presence of probiotics or \u201cgood bacteria\u201d. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics<sup>4<\/sup>, probiotics help to enrich the community of microbes residing in the gut referred to as \u201cgut flora\u201d. A well-balanced gut flora can boost immunity and overall health, especially gastrointestinal health. If you are thinking about including more probiotics into your diet, choose fermented dairy foods including yogurt, kefir and aged cheese. Some examples of probiotic-rich non-dairy foods include kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh, and cultured non-dairy yogurts<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"well well-small\">\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hamblin, James (8 December 2016).\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2016\/12\/the-promises-of-kombucha\/509786\/\">&#8220;Is Fermented Tea Making People Feel Enlightened Because of &#8230; Alcohol?&#8221;<\/a>.
