Could be useful for those that need to lose some weight, but don't want any pills to do it or are a bit averse to exercise.
This was the experiment where they used worms as test subjects?
Caenorhabditis elegans, yes, that’s a roundworm, 1 mm long.
I started drinking kombucha last summer and am now addicted to it. I had avoided it previously because the whole concept sounded like some nasty hippie drink. I use it when breaking a fast (any fast over 24 hours. I don’t require the bone broth for fasts shorter than 24) in this order: 1) 1 cup bone broth, then Wait 30 minutes. 2) then take something fermented—kombucha, fermented pickles or sauerkraut. Wait another 15-30 minutes, then 3) some lean protein. If that all goes well, then have a high fat, low carb meal.
My favorite is the Synergy brand raw kombucha—-Lemon Berry, Strawberry Lemonade or Trilogy flavors are my favorite. They have a sweet/sour, zesty, fizzy kick to them. A whole bottle has about 12g carbs in it (from the fruit juice), so I usually only drink about a third of a bottle at a time. (Compare that to 52g sugar in the same size bottle of Coca Cola.)
