Is Kombucha Good for You?

[801TheOutlaw801]

lol dude do RESEARCH!

[lowbrowrodeo]

Kombucha is the drink that put me on the path to health. After 2 years of chronic fatigue, Kombucha was the drink that started the detox. It's a powerful drink!

[potterylady1]

Wow when one person talks mess then other have to get rude too. It's his opinion folks my goodness. Do you all have to call him all these crazy names? Hun I am sorry but I guess that's what comes with making YT vids. They can't see you so think it's ok to yes crazy stuff. Hang in there!!! Well I guess you have because I still watch your wonderful show :) ;).

[madisonflooring]

I keep a batch of kombucha growing in my kitchen all the time (and like he said- out of the sun). I do believe that it is a medicinal and should not be consumed like regular tea. There are a lot of healthy teas - so everything in moderation is the rule. The beauty of it is you can keep a batch for 6 months and if will get a thick mushroom but still be good for making a fresh batch. You can soak your tired stinky feet in the vinegar that you have made.

[kingjames488]

people have been drinkin this stuff for thousands of year, not hearing a lot of kombucha related problems.

there is yeast everywhere, if you cut up an apple and leave it for any ammount of time theres probably gonna be trace ammounts of alcohol on it... should we not be cutting up fruit ahead of time either?

stfu renegade health idiots... and stop spamming my inbox with ur dumb@$& newsletter!!

[Metqa]

Wow, according to this then I must have a ton of problems. Kombucha helped my digestion when I was having digestive problems. I would crave kombucha when I had indigestion and it helped the food get out of my stomach faster than if I didn't drink it. So I started sipping it with larger meals. I did feel better while drinking it, and I don't think everything that is craved is bad for you. sometimes we crave things that have nutrients we lack, or help to relieve imbalances.

[zorbaknecromancer]

infact i think u should study more about bacteria not all of them will destroy your body

[zorbaknecromancer]

yes it is

[mixtld]

I dont think he actually answered the question on Kombucha! Way more research is needed

[Frenchy7652]

I gave you a thumbs down because of what you said about Kombucha and I see lots of people don't agree with you and you ether mess up or you don't know much about Kombucha. I pull this video off and redo it because your wrong about Kombucha, check out Kombucha Kamp the Kombucha Mama she on youtube.

[scorpk8]

what a dummy

[mydogprick]

heres a better way to make it take a log of shit and moldy fruit of choice mix it with cheap beer and tea and a splurge of cum then take some mildew of the toilet bowl and there you have it cumbucha its red bull 4 fags that want to act like there healthy and better then every 1 else and they can pretend like they will live longer like a snob but will die b4 they hit 30 form eating and drinking to much weird shit that makes no sense lol ppl are so smart these days

[smithacoya]

@mydogprick you are the biggest dipshit in the universe. are you realy so lonely that you have to make gay studip dipshit kind of comments like that. why dont you go get a life and stop being such a prickstain.

[mydogprick]

i think the ppl in this world are all gay whats with this gay ass moldy bacteria tea drinking this shit will get you sick plus its gross ppl will do anything for a trend or to act healthy its like red bull for fags i know i guy that llived to 98years old who ate and drank all the bad shit life has to offer i also knew a guy who was 29 and died who ate nothing but the best health crap for no reason to all health finatics you missing out on all the good shit life has to offer u only live once

[Julie5510]

Consumed ALCOHOL is turned into SUGAR. Bacteria will feed off Sugar and CANDIDA will TOO!!

[Julie5510]

Slayemachete, your right bacteria does not eat alcohol.I agree with the blueberries too. I think he's using the wrong words. However, alcohol once consumed turns to sugar therefore it becomes food for bacteria and candida to feed off. (alcohol turned sugar).. My suggestion: "Ask yourself why am I drinking kombucha?' Should I be drinking water kefir?

[Slayermachete]

"Craving" something means that your body wants it. Now that is not always a good thing, but there have been times when I was sick that I craved blueberries something fierce. Are you saying blueberries may be bad for you?

Also, bacteria DO NOT EAT ALCOHOL. Yeast consumes sugar, and turns it into alcohol.

Before you slam my comment, research these commonly known facts.

[giaofnature]

Where did you get the statistic that 80% of Americans are deficient in magnesium? I'm guessing that would have to be a large study having at least one sample from every state, and checking each person multiple times. Ideally, they would also use different age groups. Please respond if you can.Thanks.

[tonymariewiseman]

Subscribe? Why do all of the dipshits have a big "subscribe" banner next to the subscribe button? Are you begging me to subscribe to this bullshit? Hahaha

[krysruleshooray]

When Kombucha tea is made correctly, all the sugars are fully converted into organic acids during fermentation, enabling Kombucha tea culture

to be is safely drunk by diabetics and Candida sufferers. Also the yeasts found in the Kombucha culture do not stimulate the Candida yeasts as

they are of a different type; Candida sufferers have therefore often found considerable relief in taking Kombucha.

[WilliamBroichYAY]

do you hav to be 21 to buy kombucha tea?

[gagebug]

@WilliamBroichYAY No, its not actually an alcoholic drink(if brewed right), the amounts of alcohol in store bought brands is so low that it is not considered alcoholic.

[Slic3R1]

wow this guy is ugly as fuck and doesn't know shit about kombucha tea

[thehaikucircus]

You said you were buying it when it first came out. That was in East Asia around 200 b.c. You couldn't even be old enough to drink it with the Russians, 50 years ago, during their recent kombucha craze (we can also bring up their very low cancer rate, of that time). Good Night, man!

[Guilddude2]

He said ostapenia... I think he's saying he has a small johnson. He's definetly a friend of big pharma in a round about way. YOU'RE NO FRIEND of the health community at large. Tha'ts also why the Govt Tools are becoming involved in the kombucha alcohol issue. A coors light beer is 4.3% alchol by volume a kombucha maybe .7% but usually under .5%. If they cared about alchol they would stop selling everclear, no? Really they want #1 tax revenue and #2 sick people. Kombucha CURES some Cancers!!!

[01mattsmith]

douche -disinfo on Kombucha -how can you compare it to a browine??

[alanbrit]

What a faggot --- Ive been drinking kombucha for 2+ years and this guy is dead wrong about everything. He's high on PCP or braindead (or both)

[kardtable]

Back off my ass. This Kombucha stuff does my body good. You're full of shit man!!

[rawmark]

The reason I don't subscribe to this channel is that I refuse to take advice from someone how isn't vegan and who is not been living a healthy lifestyle as long as me. I have been a vegan for 25 years and raw for three. Message me and I will point you to the best place for info on kombucha.

[doctorsizzle]

i'm really so sick and tired of so many american's and their preoccupation with perfect living. why is it that we have all the god damn answers here in america...but still suffer from so many diseases, cancer, stress, etc.

yes, i believe in healthy eating, but i like to enjoy some of the food too! you shouldn't do this or eat that...shit...just eat napkins.

people in other countries don't stress over this! they live their lives man...

[justintrayford]

According to the American Cancer Society there is zero scientific evidence supporting health claims by Kombucha Tea. However there have been reports of serious side-effects, and even several deaths linked to Kombucha tea.

[aparaajita10]

I see this kind of negative talk about any thing that the corporations can't make money off. This is the type of guys they hire for such things. This take on vegan diet is really totally wrong. For the ostopenia & osteoporosis is the highest in the rich countries, 7 about the lowest among the vegetarian cultures.

[subliminal7891]

candida is a yeast infection,

[silverbak1978]

Kevin, Im new to the raw foodist world, But I am very interested in apricot kernels. I have read that there are two types of kernels which are sweet and bitter(b-17) and that the bitter ones if consumed to much is toxic. do you know anything about the apricot seeds?

[TarotLadyLissa]

Kombucha only contains 0.5% alcohol or less per bottle. That's like a non alcoholic beer!

[Pr3tty001806]

Hi, I've been raw for about a month now so Im still very new, I bought some flax seeds the other day and planned to eat them whole but I saw in the video that you spoke about grinding them......how to i grind them? Im a food processor? I've also seen small electric grinders at walmart but wasn't sure if those were best to grind coffee, and last....do I soak the seeds overnight before I grind them?

[nina0875]

i lost 4 lbs over the weekend by drinking it the first time! once a week is good enough for me.

[truth2masses]

i drink the synergy brand. i like the rasperry rush flavored one. it gives me a lift for hour. 1 sip!!!!!!!

[brewmodeus]

kombucha is simply not for everyone, i believe it depends on your diet, bad diet=bad side effects

[00MORDRED]

cool video!!

5*****

[reveries119]

on the bottle it reccomends consuming one bottle per day this this video suggests no more than 3 times per week...did I understand this correctly?

[MikeyMacky]

I drink one bottle of Kombucha every day. Since I started doing this about three weeks ago I have never felt better, lost a little bit of my belly, and never have acid indigestion anymore.

[jschrein]

kombucha 'came out' about 2500 years ago...

[andrewnowickirules]

@jschrein Kombucha was invented by the Russians...the problem with your comment is that the Russian/Slavic people have been on earth for only 3,000 years....Russians are one of the youngest 'peoples' in the world...The Russians invented kombucha (called mushroom tea in Russia), in the 1800s...so it isn't as old as you say...

[Samasnier]

Just because you crave something does not mean it's bad for you.

Kombucha's alcohol content is, at the very most, equal to that of a ripe fruit - about 0.5%. As the yeasts consume the sugar, they produce alcohol, but the bacteria turn that alcohol into vinegar. So the alcohol content is always extremely minimal.

From what you've said in this video, it's obvious you're not qualified to say whether or not kombucha is good for you.

[br3ntor]

What's the difference between a craving and a healthy urge from your body to eat something good for you? If it's a craving, which you get from something that is weakening for your body, the more you eat, the more you want. Like with chocolate. If it's a healthy urge, then when you've eaten some, you don't want anymore.

[5604753]

your a fag, u need to research BEFORE U FUCKING SAY FALSE THINGS!!! I now its good for u, and i am very healthy. U dont ruin ur health by drinking kombucha lol. It detoxifies u body and the Japanese had it for 3000 years now and spies stole some and it spread through out the world. DONT LISTEN TO HIM!!!!

[hangover71]

You have to do everything in moderation.

he's edjucating people, you don't have to atack him by calling him a fag.

Are you homophobic..?

[snipsnapparty]

Thank you!!!!!! I mean... this dude makes it seem like it's BAD to enjoy anything outside of fruit and veg and it better be organic! Ughhhhh!

[thehaikucircus]

@hangover71 nice one liners... just like this pharma-worker in the video... jeez. nice spelling of education. worse than my dad and he's dyslexic.

[meatymonty]

I could not even stand to watch all of the video, this guy is a douche

[MrThefutureisnotset]

i sure hope so since i drink a jar a day.

[momofbrock]

You drink Kombucha to cure stomach and digestion issues.... and it KILLS candida. This video is unreal.

[shawandrew]

On Kombucha... (disclaimer, I have kefir but not kombucha, never have)... O.K. you completely dodged the question and told her to avoid it because its tasty... Brewing yeasts and infectious yeasts are not usually the same, and candida overgrowth in the gut is rare. Also candida may not be the yeast used in brewing. Alcohol: The tiny amount in kombucha will be absorbed by your body quickly. Yeasts don't eat alcohol, they make it. Bacteria can help with vitamin production.

[TwoSet]

holy shit.. dude is really healthy or on crack

[AtkinsonKanelli]

He didn't Mention GOJI BERRIES FOR PROTEIN? WOW

and CACAO should be the first thing you grab to improve your MAGNESIUM levels

[zuphu]

you must be kidding me. You have been taken in by the wolfe.

[reforest4fertility]

There is a big difference between store bought Kombucha & home-brewed you've done yourself. Commercial Kombucha tends to be stopped short, so it's still sugary & without that very light, nice alcoholization. So when it's "dry" I believe it's more salubrious (healthful)--DIY, or stop depending on sweetness for sales. I know the alcohol level must be kept right down to sell products openly, but can't commercial Kombucha be a little more dry & less sweet? gotta draw em in somehow, eh

[dvsn23]

Seems like a lot of people are writing this guy off just because he is slightly wary of the Kombucha hype. I worked in a store where we made it ourselves, and yes, homemade is the best way to go. Synergy was claiming that its tea cured some lady of breast cancer...I would definitely want to see the evidence on that one. On the other hand I like Kombucha a lot, people just shouldn't kid themselves and think it's the greatest thing ever. I've drunk it for months str8 every day and felt great.

[TheCavemanRunneth]

I have a question for you - Do you just make this stuff up? Everything you just said about Kombucha is exactly contrary. After watching quite a few of your videos and I've concluded that you dont have a clue. I don't know if you are a proffessional or not but a lot of your videos are spreading bad information and you're making it harder for people looking for the truth. If you're watching this video please don't disregard Kombucha (or raw Cacao) because this quack says so. Please research more.

[shawandrew]

Agreed. This guy sited no evidence for anything he said. Everything was a guess. Also the distinction between infectious microorganisms and beneficial ones was blurred. basically he said if anything happens within a week of drinking kombucha it means kombucha is bad.

[truthnmercy]

@TheCavemanRunneth

[Thomashed15]

@TheCavemanRunneth Yeah man, your right. I''ve been drinking this for a year, and the benefits are positives! And I drink it every day! Since I started, I have lost 20 lbs... That's a good thing. So Kevin, you're probably a nice person, but you're not Classified as a supervisor in that area. Find some more info about the Kombucha, before you go spreading lies all around you!

But besides that, have a nice day.

[BlueOBlood]

@TheCavemanRunneth Speaking as a kombucha fan:

He's not dissing kombucha altogether -- he's just pointing out a few rational concerns that come up for people who have a candida issue, and advocating moderation. When it comes to looking after the individual body's well-being, moderation and monitoring the body's response is important when using any product, regardless of how close it's sitting by the wheat grass juice.

[teasnax]

who the shit is this guy? next month, i will have drunk KT for two years straight, everyday. digestion has never been better and my general quality of life is improved. KT is amazing for halting ANY yeast problems in your body. it has yeast in it, but most of that interaction was spent in making it. the bacterias are what you will benefit from largely. KT controls cravings too. you want junkfood less and it helps your body uptake all the nutrients out of your food. i no longer require caffeine.

[WIGNSWORD]

I love Kevin Gianni's personality but what works for him doesn't work for me. Raw Cacao every day for two years has done a world of good, and kombucha tea (and Apple Cider Vinegar another bacterial product) give me more energy. I know what fake energy is because I was once a coffee/black tea addict. Natural Hygiene (Gianni sounds like them) works for some not all. Life is better with more added. I'm not putting aside KOMBUCHA or CACAO for anybody!!! ;-)

[Kharami888]

OK, after kicking bone cancers ass! I used kombucha to power to yet another level. One bottle Synergy per day was fantastic on a empty stomach followed by 16 onces of water, 15 min after the kombucha. I would urinate like a stallion, and fuck like race horse on steroids, plus I had fantastic staying power. I eat 80% raw, 99% vegan, 50% + organic. Lots of relaxation / exercise. two bottles per day too much certainly, unless fasting or at war on the battlefield. Peace

[Menniposa09]

This guy gets paid to voice his uninformed views? Glad I saw this one first. Now I know better than to even bother listening to him, much less trust his advice.

[trustbaby7]

To be honest, if you had to limit a drink that much it probably just isn't good for you. I think who produces it makes a big difference too. There are different Kombucha brands out there with Synergy being at the bottom of my list. But honestly if any drink affects you adversely I wouldn't drink it at all. Just my thoughts. I love Kombucha and drink it several times a week. I have never experienced adverse affects but that's me. Go by what your body tells you, it's always right.

[azintp]

what is wrong with "Synergy"? I drink it all the time.

[deathsapprentice]

Local brands are generally better in quality. I'd also check out some other brands that don't "need" to be flavored, and that taste great by themselves.

[azintp]

thanks for your assessment! i'll definitely try others!

[sinterQ]

wow, this vid ws uploaded a day before it was made :) freaky

[dlw3m]

another great vid

[DotingANARCHIST]

Dude, kombucha is ridiculously good for you. You're pulling the "three times a week" thing out of your ass.

[Acknowledge1]

EPIDEMIC !! It is the newest trend

The mixture of sugar, tea, room temperature, and yeast/bacteria provides an ideal breeding ground for many micro-organisms (some pathogenic) and airborne fungi.

[aklnj]

A co-worker took the stuff a couple of years ago and he had a very adverse effect. The guy was throwing up , peeing and crapping -all at the same time, at work!. Took 2 hours to get over it. He did not want us to call 911, so we kept a close eye on him till he recovered. Maybe he took too much or he is allergic to this tea.

[fackherhard]

maybe its not the food your are addicted to... MAYBE ITS THE RELIGION OF BUYING THINGS. consummerism.....yeah..

[fruitarianqueen]

Yes when I first tried Kombucha the texture came accorss as a pop or carbonated water. We breath in oxygen and out carbon dioxide. So, since Kombucha is fermented, Fermentation is the name of the process that the yeast uses to make carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a is a deadly waste product of cellular metabolism. Drinking carbon dioxide robs your body of oxygen & increases level of CO2 in blood thus place heavy load on gaseous waste handling system -I'm not for liquid fermentation of any sort

[maxima4you]

kombucha is great. i drink it everyday. i fell excellent. if you make it right, you wont have any problems is totally safe. it has all the b vitamins, and friendly bacteria, not harmful. read before you talk about something you don't know about. kom has been drank for thousands of years. it has helped people around the globe with numerous diseases. long live kombucha!!!!

[labamba7]

so, so interesting...I love when Kevin answers questions, or gives little health tips...brilliant!

thanks.:)

ana.

[thecrazychiko]

why you look so red man? you need some kombucha 1

[calavacita]

hey is at grup band call kombucheros at you tube they are good

[mehealthyme]

Thanks for the great info. I have had kombucha several times and yesterday for the first time I was "high" for a long time.  Didn't feel good, plus I have a sinus infection, any help with that? I have stopped taking OTC remedies for sinus and colds and since I haven't been sick for over 2 yrs I am at a loss on how to alleviate the symptoms naturally.

[Insurgent88]

I have had the high too after having kombucha, sprouts and wheat grass for the first time. It may be because of their detoxifying effect but it it only happened once for each.

[annatacha]

cool video!! what is kombucha??? and what its good for?
