Re: Thoughts and Tips on Kombucha and Kombucha-making

[Guest guest]

Hi

I don't think I advocated using only distilled water for Kombucha-making.

However if one uses ONLY distilled water for Kombucha, the amount of Kombucha

consumed in a day should not present any problem IMO, compared to what Kombucha

seems to bring, least of these the probiotics and the enzymes. Furthermore it is

recommended to drink a lot more water than KT.

Now if one Google distilled water the first page comes with a lot of warning

against drinking ONLY distilled water but there other point of view like this

one HERE

SO there is a debate, if one want to play it safe drink good amount of spring

water or Osmosis Water and add trace elements if possible. We must  understand

that in our modern world several essential nutrients ( trace metals ARE

nutrients) are missing.. it is said for example that because of  the USA type

of farming (read heavily reliant on petro-chemicals), our soil is severely

lacking in chromium, which the body needs to activate the production of insulin,

thus it is good to add some chromium and other minerals to our water intake ,

when good, honest real spring water.. several so-called spring water are not

really from real springs ( read this article HERE ), is not available .. SO

distilled water plus trace metal is a safe way to get your minerals ... and you

can control the amount ...

It is of course laudable to go as pure and totally natural for many it is not

possible. Even Kombucha does not seem to just occur in nature all by itself, it

must be prodded by brewing some tea, sweetening it and leaving to ferment in

some way .. I am wondering to this day how KT came to be ....

I am sorry if my bluntness has hurt you! i feel like my little engine is

like an old radiator,Hee. . hee and needs a cleansing, and i drink a very little

at a time in the morning. A nurse, here at this site( not going to name

her)said it is OK. I am a vegetarian an live on live foods, that is why i do

not use so much additives. I have recently got Magnesium though, and take

calcium and potassium.I know what i probably ment to say is that brewing with

distilled water is doubleing the leaching effects of Kombucha. Still i said this

is a personnal choice! i beleive we are both entitled to our opinions.I am

grateful though because you are teaching me something new here....I would never

do intentionally to anyone! Love as always..Jahjet
