Hannah Crum aka the Kombucha Mamma. Founder and Master Brew maker of Kombucha. 

Kombucha is a fermented tea that many people for centuries have used for longevity, lowering cholesterol, protects against heart disease, helps manage type2 diabetes and neoplasms. It contains antioxidants that kills harmful bacteria.

It's also loaded with beneficial probiotics.

Many people have asked me about the sugar required to make it and how it would affect them if they were diabetic. The SCOBY (symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria) absorbs the sugar to use as its food source. No need for concern.
