This article is poorly written - most of the copy is cut and pasted from the Post article - and more importantly, poorly researched. I'm curious if the author has even tried Kombucha. If you haven't, I suggest you do, and you may be surprised at how much you like it and how much your body craves it. It's a detoxifier, great for digestion and an amazing hangover cure, to name a few benefits. It's definitely not for everyone, but there's gotta be something good about it because it's been around for more than 2,000 years. So next time you say something 'tastes like a douche' you should try it first.
