The ancient fermented tea drink has grown in popularity in recent years due to a range of purported health and energy benefits, though evidence to support many of the claims is thin.

Kombucha contains both sugar and alcohol
I don’t know how kombucha might be “good” for type 2 diabetics. The test sample in this study was of 12 people, I don’t think any conclusion can be drawn yet.
True, but hopefully the next study will be wider in scope.
Guys, is alcohol made from fermented food? Is that really true? /s
I recently watched a YouTube video of someone making Kombucha and when they added in the large amount of sugar I thought that there is no way it is “healthy”. Ive never tried kombucha so I don’t know how sweet it should be, but I’m hoping that recipe was the outlier
The bacteria eat up a most of the sugar however it has sugar in it. I was into the homemade stuff for a while and if you spilled it outside ants had a party there the next day and you could feel that sticky sweet residue.
If it is prior to fermentation, the bacteria will eat up most of the sugar and either make alcohol or carbonation.
