Which bugs in Kombucha tea?

[Guest guest]

Hi.

Do you happen to know which beneficial bugs thrive in Kombucha?

There is so much talk about the benefits of lacto-fermented foods, but

sometimes I wonder if people overestimate their health-bolstering

powers. I drink Kombucha these days 'cause it's a fine substitute for

soda, and it contains tea, which is rich in anti-oxidants. I don't

really eat any other lacto-fermented foods. I don't drink Kefir, eat

yogurt or even kimchi any longer. So KT is my only bug-rich food. Do

you think it's accurate to imagine that it's as therpeutic to my gut

as, say, yogurt or sauerkraut? If it contains only one or two ho-hum

strains of lacto bacteria, I wouldn't want to fool myself into

thinking it was particularly good for me.

Thanks for reading!

Even though I drink about 2 bottles of KT a day, I still take my probiotics

every day. I want to

get the strong bugs that are in DDS.

You can find more than you ever wanted to know about KT by going online. I'm in

another

group which I'll list below plus I like www.happyherbalist.com

I'll put these on the LINKS page for future reference.
