Oncoming Headlights Do Not Bother Me As Much

I've recently started drinking kombucha, thanks mostly to Carol's homebrewing. (Seriously, I greatly appreciate it, Carol.) Since I've been carrying around jars of the stuff, people have been asking me about the gelatinous jellyfish thing floating in my tea.

Thus, I have to explain kombucha. ("It's fermented tea, made with a live bacteria culture, blah, blah, blah. It's really good for you, blah, blah, blah.") Still, people don't understand why I'd want to drink vinegar flavored-tea with bacteria growing in it.

So Carol sent me a list entitled The Benefits of Kombucha, compiled by a Yahoo kombucha group. All the benefits are testimonial and not backed up by medical science. With some consideration to these dubious origins, here are my favorite "benefits":

• Has brought me into contact with some very caring people
• Addictive taste
• Makes a good hair rinse
• Shrinking large fatty tumor
• Oncoming headlights do not bother me as much
• I can see the pupils of my eyes again without glasses
• Good underarm deodorant
• For some people; eliminates desire for alcohol, & helping to relax
• People begin taking responsibility for their own health

Hippies and their homeopathic cures... I will say this: Kombucha has made a significant difference with my digestive health. As for eliminating the desire for alcohol and seeing the pupil of my eyes, I'll let you know.
