Possible Protection against Cancer
From test tube experiments, kombucha has been found helpful in destroying cancer cells and preventing their growth. Cancer develops from the mutation of genes in normal cells, after which they begin to divide rapidly. It is one of the leading causes of death in the world. The effect of kombucha in fighting this deadly disease arises from the polyphenols and antioxidants contained in the tea. Polyphenols are believed to block the reactions for gene mutation, as well as destroying cancerous cells.
