kombucha & calcium depletion?

[Guest guest]

I just gave a scoby and a nice large glass jar to a friend so she could start

making kombucha. She googled and found this:

Kombucha and kids, is it safe?

http://www.domesticdiva.ca/blog/childrens-health/kombucha-and-kids-is-it-safe/

" Kombucha tea may cause calcium depletion because it binds to minerals making it

an alkaline drink "

Cautions & Concerns

" However you have to be very careful in not over doing this. An excess will rob

your body of ionic minerals. A cup or two is fine, but large amounts of these

acids are not a good idea. How much is too much? It is a relative term. For a

normal healthy adult the amount is thought to be 4-8 fluid ounces daily. "

My friend is very concerned about calcium depletion, as an older female, and has

decided to stop drinking kombucha after reading this.

Anyone know about this? I am relcutant to stop drinking kombucha, I love

kombucha!

Thank you,

I drink KT with added ionic minerals.  The probiotics and the enzymes in KT are

unique and well worth consuming daily.   I take boron, calcium, magnesium,

potassium, zinc, ancient sea salt.  I do better when drinking KT.  I sip it

all day long when I have a bug.  I also drink herbal teas and good quality

water(RO or natual mineral water).  KT is healthy and limiting it aught to be

based on how you feel.  Also I try to drink water or herbal teas in 4 or 5 to

one with the KT.

 

Minerals are hard to absorb.  So it is a focus for my health to take absorbable

minerals.  So far I seem to be doing just fine....for many years.
