There are better sources of probiotics

I posted this graphic ages ago and I got a lot of heat because people were upset to hear this information.

When I saw @glucosegoddess’ CGM graph of the kombucha, it confirmed what I had been saying all along so I wanted to share this again.

Store bought kombucha has a ton of sugar because most of them add fruit juices after fermentation.

I remember when GTs kombucha used to only have 1tsp of sugar per bottle and now I can’t find any with fewer than 4 tsp per bottle!

Thanks to @glucosegoddess for subjecting your body to such a sugar bomb to get this very eye-opening glucose graph.

Not only did her sugar spike more than 30 mg/dL after drinking the kombucha (which is inflammatory), it also caused a big spike of insulin which lowered the glucose below baseline, putting her in what I call, “The Craving Zone”.

When the blood sugar is going down like in that graph, a person might experience cravings, anxiety, irritability, headaches, hunger, brain fog, nausea, shakiness, dizziness and more.

Pro tips:
✔️ Brew your own kombucha at home
✔️ Have only a small amount of store bought kombucha at a time (like <2 oz or a few sips)
✔️ Have the kombucha right after a meal, or before/after a workout (still keep the quantity small)
✔️ Swap the kombucha for fermented foods without sugar like sauerkraut, pickles, water kefir, kimchi, etc.
