Hi,

I just joined this group. I have been drinking kombucha for a while

now, sometimes I really crave it. Sometimes however, I notice that when

I drink it a lot, I have sugar cravings. I am not sure if this is a

coincidence or not, but someone else on another list mentioned the same

thing.

Does anyone here know what this could mean? Does anyone know how

kombucha is metabolized, meaning how it affects blood sugar (I think it

has carbs in it) and PH?

Also, how much would you recommend drinking a day? What about when

pregnant?

I haven't made my own yet, I usually get GT's kombucha.

Thanks so much.

Hi Deb,and Welcome!I buy some of what I sprout in the bulk section of Whole

Foods and health food stores, provided they are organic. I have much success

sprouting their products.I recently made " Essene Bread " for the first time (Mike

Synder's recipe in his " Raw Food Recipes " book), and what I did was first soak

the wheat berries, let them sprout, and then I processed them in the food

processor (as per the recipe instructions). I will put them through the Omega

next time as the food processor makes them too chunky. If you have the dry blade

and container for the Vitamix, by all means, use that. If you don't, be sure the

mix you are making with them is wet enough so you don't jam your vitamix. There

are folks on this list who know quite a bit about this stuff, so I am sure some

will chime in there. n

Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its

victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this

world... We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any

living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic

delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity.

Hi all -

I am brand new to sprouting - almost. I did look a bit on-line, and tryed

sprouting my kamut and hard winter white grains. It worked, and I'm very excited

about trying many different seeds.

Can I just use the seed I get in the bulk section of my health food store? As in

lentils, flax, garbanzo, etc.?

For sprouted breads, do I have to dry the sprouts? Or can I just blend them with

my vitamix?

I'll start with those few questions for the moment -

Thanks! Looking so forward to learning from this group.
