Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 The warning on plastics should not be limited to just brewing KT in plastic. Plain water in plastic bottles as well as a host of foods we buy and eat from plastic have the same effect, as does the environment. The adverse effects of plastics that may affect humans do not affect the kombucha. Kombucha's will grow and thrive. That is not to say that those that drink the KT will... Therefore if plastics are already in your life - don't stress out. Every little bit helps, but stress is by far the bigger killer. Ed Kasper LAc.

Kombucha being acid tends to leach from whatever container it is put in that is why it is recommended to use glass.
