Kombucha has been one of the most popular drink known for improve one’s immune system, digestion liver function and cancer prevention. But no scientific explanation has proven these claims. You may never want to try this until you know this one ingredient that’s really disgusting.
According to Opposing Views:
The popular drink “Kombucha” has taken the world by storm in recent months, and it’s easy to see why. It’s sweet, effervescent and supposedly good for you. But before you take a sip of your prettily packaged Kombucha drink, it goes through a creation process that has many people today asking, “I’m drinking WHAT?”
One of the main ingredients in Kombucha is SCOBY. What’s SCOBY, you ask? It’s an acronym that stands for, get ready for it, a Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast. Appetizing, right? As if the name wasn’t already bad enough, SCOBY looks just as — if not more — gross than it sounds. Put simply: It looks like a rotten oyster.
Some photos showing the kind of bacteria and yeast that can be found inKombucha.
I bet you don’t find the photos above as good and appetizing.
Furthermore, Kombucha tea made at home that are not sterile can be risky and contaminated while on the process of fermentation. Many cases of home-made Kombucha tea has issues of becoming yellow of the white part of the eyes that can be a sign of liver damage.
Always remember to be cautious and picky enough when eating or drinking something for your health. It doesn’t mean that it’s good for some who tried it, it can be satisfying to your system too. Notice that majority of the appetizing and tasteful beverages nowadays are the unhealthy ones. So don’t drink it for the overstated benefits.
The bottom line here is, I don’t want to drink that kind of ingredient from the photos above. I’m sure you don’t want it too.
