Can children drink Kombucha Tea?
Michael Roussin, Director of the Kombucha Consumer Research Group ™ says: “Until today (4 Jan 1996), I would have recommended that Kombucha not be given to pre-puberty children. The reasons are iffy, and propounded in several books and papers, but the basis for those iffy suggestions are not valid, therefore, the suggestions are not valid either. In short, there is no reason (except concerns about caffeine) not to give Kombucha to children. I would suggest small amounts (less than 2 ounces per day per year of age), since we have not fully researched the effects of some of the compounds we’ve identified on human physiology. While our initial impressions are that they are very favorable to the human body, that is also an observation on probable interaction with a healthy adult.
