What does /sci/ think about Kombucha, Kefir, Water Kefir?

Did you tried them yourself? What was your experiences? Are there proven benefits of ingesting?

tasty and refreshing but very acidic and it might not be the best thing for your teeth.

also pretty expensive in the west

>> No.11158514

dude they're literally just fermented beverages
if you want to see if there are any benefits to ingesting buy a few hundred lab rats and do a study on them

Just seems like drinking flavored vinegar to me. I'll stick to fermenting wine and kimchi

just finished my first water kefir brew today. it tastes absolute amazing. what do you guys think about the alcohol content of max 2 %. is there a proven beneficial effect of alcohol on the human body

>. is there a proven beneficial effect of alcohol on the human body
No, it has been proven to be detrimental. Even in moderation. There are new studies out.

Kombucha I tried once
I didn't like it very much at first but was kinda into it by the end of the experience, but it's too pricey for me to buy it again

you should never buy kombucha or kefir. do it yourself at home. its quiet simple and doesnt take any time. everything else is pasteurized and do not have the microbiome you are looking for comsuming this products

Legitimately curious about this stuff but haven't heard much about it's benefits from a scientific perspective.

Hey anon, have you tried Binzango and Dookadooka? It tastes bad and there's no reason to think it's good for you, but hey! I'm a good New Yorker reader, and the emperor has clothes after all.

I prefer Filmjolk to Kefir, it’s almost the same thing but it just tastes better.

It's probably a decent supplement for your stomach's microbiome, a friend of mine is doing some research on immune response and microbiome relation with a shitload of mice
