It is important to be careful when making kombucha at home, as it can ferment for too long. It is also possible for kombucha to become contaminated when a person does not make it in a sterile environment. Overfermentation or contamination can cause health problems, so it may be safer to purchase kombucha in a store than to make it at home.
Most kombuchas contain large amounts of added sugar. Frequently drinking sugar sweetened beverages can negatively impact health in many ways. For example, drinking sweetened beverages can lead to weight gain, high blood sugar levels, and increased triglyceride levels. When shopping for kombucha, it may be best to choose brands that contain under 4 grams (1 teaspoon) of added sugar per serving. *
