We are always being asked if Kombucha is good for the health and whether it has a beneficial effect on your Gut Health. We speak to Adam from JARR Kombucha to find out his take on the health effects of drinking Kombucha - fermented tea.
It is important to note that studies continue to be done on Kombucha and tea in general. The opinions in this video represent Adam's understanding of the literature available and are by no means exhaustive or fixed in any way. There may be some probiotic effect by drinking Kombucha but at present, there is no evidence that he has seen to suggest that any probiotic action is significant to our health and the value of Kombucha on gut health seems to be more pre-biotic in nature.

Stop making me want to travel to London just for tea!
oh my gosh that exactly what I'm thinking after Don uploads new video 😩
Same here every day. I want to go to London so bad ....
lol. what makes you think the english travel across the ocean, just to buy tea from china? go go go
tea sucks !!
Kombucha is a very healthy alternative to soda. I say this as I’m drinking a large coke from McDonald’s
Lol
We need fackts about subject, results of research
I love that even with a clear financial conflict of interest, you tried to present the best available scientific evidence in a neutral manner. The marketing pitch of "it hasn't been scientifically proven to *not* give you eternal life so who knows" that some people subscribe to turns me away from products. Ultimately this is about tasting good and being an alternative to things that have been proven unhealthy. If we find out down the line it has some previously unknown benefits, all the better.
Sadly The nationally announced scientific research won’t let you know the best natural cure human can have 🤣.
I'm in the field of nutrition so I think it would be really interesting to see a study looking at whether or not spore-forming bacteria in Kombucha outlive the acidity of the stomach or even if the digested bacteria, as they release DNA in digestion if this would be picked up by the microbiome - bacteria have the capacity to pick up DNA from other bacteria to incorporate in their cells or even genome via vectors, ultimately, modulating their gene expression and possibly their benefits. This is how we now produce insulin from microorganisms - we insert a plasmid vector in them so that they replicate this plasmid. I made bacteria glow last year by expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP). If anyone is interested go check that out and feel free to reply to the comment if you have any questions etc.

Thanks for this. Too many lay writers and social media personalities traffic in misinformation about basic biochemistry and biomedicine let alone interpretation of what scientific evidence does or doesn’t support the health benefits of kombucha. Dialogue and difference of opinion are valuable so long as misinformed “truth” claims don’t promote dietary choices that can be outright harmful.
How much caffeine is in kombucha? Does it not retain 100% of the caffeine from the tea?
Adam says that there are about 15-20mg of caffeine per 240ml bottle of their booch which is probably less than the fresh brewed tea and about a quarter of the caffeine in an average espresso.
oh i love so much combucha. i would like to drink a XML combucha. XOXOXO from Japan. kombucha is not popular in japan. i'm sad!
Respect this guy s lot for presenting an accurate picture of the benefits. Much easier as a business owner to milk it a bit.
I love the feeling of biting the soft chewy bit of young scoby in the f2 fermentation after extracting the product from the main batch to smaller bottles added with fruit juice and fruit flavour😎😎
Interesting about the probiotic myth. Would that hold true for other fermented/cultured foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, yoghurt etc which contain live bacteria?
Try Kombucha colonic irrigation, bypass the stomach acids.
What do you say to Dr Michael Greger's assertion that kombucha has been shown to be detrimental to health putting people in the hospital or even in the grave, due to lactic acidosis and liver toxicity?
fermented foods and drinks have a long history of use among many cultures - and for very good reason - unless we are eating fresh raw fruit and veggies that are full of enzymes most of the time, our digestive systems invariably need a little help - not so much when we are young, of course - but get a little older than 35 or so....
The reason is preservation. That's pretty much why we started and continued doing this. I don't think potential health benefits played a major role in the adoption of fermentation into the different cultures. That doesn't mean that there aren't any benefits though.
Interesting that just because something has not been proven true does not mean it is false. This is a common fallacy.
Yep totally agree (that's why we put the disclaimer in the description).
And just because you claim something to be true doesn't mean it is.
Anthony M I think most people get that, but it is a wide spread fallacy that if something isn't proven true it must be false. Observe this in the media and you will find it wide spread at least I have.
@@growingmelancholy8374 yes it works both ways
@@growingmelancholy8374 Surely, but there's a certain level of confidence where one can say without any doubt that x must be at least very close to the truth and thinking about it.. one can only get so close right?
It keeps me from craving soda pop. That's a win in itself.
I love how "stay away from tea bags" is one of his signoffs
Thank you. Question does kombucha give gout.?
I love to drink Ferm Kombucha!!
great video, inspired me to make my own again and im already on my 2nd batch! rhubarb pear and bayleaf is tasting pretty fantastic and also cedro lemon! BOMBA!
Don, Adam guys, thanks for sharing this info with us. I make my own kombucha at home and it's fantastic. However, people refuse to drink it (the same problem with tea) because of caffeine. Is there a study about exactly how much caffeine stays in the drink after fermentation? Also, is it OK for kids to drink?
Adam says that there are about 15-20mg of caffeine per 240ml bottle of their booch which is probably less than the fresh brewed tea and about a quarter of the caffeine in an average espresso.
I make my own kombucha and use the best able seasonal freshly squeezed fruit juice, for, the second fermentation, mix it half glass of sparkling wine drink it, with the meals , and after meals continue to drink only kompucha, in all, 500 mls,, no caffeine effect , in night sleep. Only coffee will do it to me. . I make June kompucha , use good white tea one must work out slowly with own needs . ..
@@emanuelaaturco6401 does the quality of tea effect the taste of kombucha, doesn't the fermentation and the fruits u add along the sparkling wine cloud the original taste and nuance of tea?
The same people who drinks coffee.
Odd, there are NO Long Term LAB TEST of any of these Claims. Yet, they CLAIM IT DOES ALL THESE THINGS. Not Good.
I wonder how many vitamins are in the yeasts that would have been filtered out of a store-bought kombucha. I remember reading Kombucha bottles that touted a much higher level of B Vitamins and Vitamin C than are in tea itself.
wonderful informative video, exactly what I was looking for
Whatever is true or not it helps me when I'm nauseous, stronger stools, and makes me feel a bit high
thanks!
Well done! Very good video!
Any studies/updates on if the tea benefits "antioxidants" come out in Kombucha?
very interesting. thank u for at least trying to be honest.
Very interested to get more information in Kombucha. Have bought some books abt fermenting, but by making own kombucha with the scooby, always need much carbs/sugar. Is there a way to brew a kombucha with less carbs/sugar for people who do lowcarb or ketogenic-diet ?!
If you allow the booch to ferment longer you will have less sugar and a more vinegar taste.
Taste like wine
I could write a book about the benefits. Recovered from traumatic brain damage years ago.
Wow, I am fascinated to hear your story of recovery.
Interesting to hear that the probiotics don’t have any health benefits. I though lactobacillus was a well studied bacteria for helping digestion?
As per my knowledge, the predominant strains of bacteria in Kombucha are the acetobacter and gluconobacter, which are not normally found taking up residence in our gut. A few Kombuchas, not all, have lactobacillus as well, but in smaller quantities. You are better off eating yogurt and fermented vegetables for probiotics. But Kombucha has lots of health benefits nevertheless because of what the bacteria do to the tea as they ferment it...the acids, enzymes, vitamins and glucosamine that are created in the process.
The kombucha guy sounds American.
I hope he is, we need more Americans in the tea community
Is it good for diabeties
Do you guys have any data on how much caffeine is in the tea before and especially after the fermentation? Would be super interesting to know!
Adam says that there are about 15-20mg of caffeine per 240ml bottle of their booch which is probably less than the fresh brewed tea and about a quarter of the caffeine in an average espresso.
What about its health affects to your teeth? Does the acid have extra negative effects or is it just the same negative effects as any carbonated drink?
Though this is obviously anecdotal , I had to stop drinking kombucha after developing a number of cavities in a relatively short period of time. (Prior to getting into kombucha, I had stayed clear of any sweets or sugary drinks for many years.)
Something to be aware of, but nowhere near the issues with soda. it's good practice to take a swig of water after sipping booch.
Another great video from the East End of London. You guys are sharing some great info.
