In this video, Dr. Berg answers the question on what is better to consume, Kombucha Tea or Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar is made through the process of fermenting the apple juice. Kombucha Tea is also a fermented product made from sugar and black tea.
Apple Cider Vinegar
• Acetic Acid - The main acid in apple cider vinegar. Acetic Acid Bacteria Ferment and eat glucose and ethanol (Alcohol). The benefit of this acid is mainly for the blood sugars, helps with insulin resistance, helps insulin become more sensitive, is good for digestion, and good for fatty liver because it strips of fat, and has 0 sugar.
Take it with meals one teaspoon with lemon juice
Kombucha Tea
• Lactic Acid and Gluconic Acid - These acids are good for lowering the digestive tracts.
• Probiotics - It helps build up the friendly bacteria in the gut.
• It has 2-6 grams of sugar
• It is good for improving digestion
• Good for the intestines
• It has a lot of antioxidants
• Recommended for people as a substitute for alcohol.

@sharonphillips3700 6 лет назад

luvyou baby I know it to be a “pre” biotic, which is food for the probiotics. I’m not positive on that, but I do know it’s not a probiotic.

@pam0077 6 лет назад

In raw, unfiltered ACV, there may be a small amount of probiotics still alive in the mother, but it's not going to be in an amount that's going to have an affect in your lower gut. And, it has no prebiotics. A prebiotic is basically a sugar, starch, or fiber, and ACV has none of these since the sugar that was originally in the cider has all been eliminated by the mother bacteria.

@SoundMind. 6 лет назад

luvyou baby ACV actually is a prebiotic (food for good bacteria in the gut)

ACV IS NOT probiotic or prebiotic, the mother will die in vinegar! This means all the bacteria you were after dies with it. You have to remember that Vinegar is ANTI-BACTERIAL.

So what's your point? A regular booch litre contains 1g of sugar, the 2g is just a bit underfermented booch. A spare few grams of sugar isn't going to kill you, not like you will consume it in large quantities daily for that to make a difference.

@orionxavier6957 2 года назад

I did intermittent fasting of 20-24 hours a day on a ketogenic diet with lots of ACV. I took a gallon of water and poured about 1 cup of ACV in it, and consumed about half of that per day. So significantly more than 1 tsp of ACV per day. Blood sugars took about 4 days to come down from 350+ mg/dL, stayed around 130 mg/dL for a week (normal for when starting keto), then went down to normal. After 5 weeks I stopped keto-I LOSE TOO MUCH MUSCLE on keto. I went back to carbs and high protein (I also need a lot of protein because I'm a large guy). I felt great. The first few days off of keto, I could feel my muscles just soaking up the glucose and I had a lot more energy. I don't do well on keto, I've tried it many times. So far OMAD with carbs and high protein is what works for me. My blood sugar is still normal as well, and I don't get food comas (very high insulin) like I usually do with large carb meals. Edit: Also I had very poor kidney function when I began fasting. After fasting they returned to normal and remained normal while eating carbs. I think it might have been a combination of autophagy and ACV. Autophagy is basically an enhanced healing state that begins after 16 hours of fasting. I was getting 4-8 hours of autophagy every day, which I believe was repairing kidney damage. Also the ACV really helps to loosen and eliminate any kidney stones.

@janellekm 5 лет назад

My mum drank Apple Cider Vinegar back in the 70s as it was consider good for weight loss, and yes she did lose weight. She also had insulin resistance. I only drink Kombucha when my stomach is upset, I had food suspected food poisoning but was in so much pain in the gut that I couldn't go anywhere. I did have a can of Kombucha in my fridge and I drank that slowly. It took me 15 mins to consume and within about 20 mins after drinking it, my stomach pain stopped. The feeling of me wanting to vomit stopped. This stuff made me feel well. I of course only knew this stuff was good for the gut, hadn't read about the probiotics. I feel that there is room for both in the diet. Thanks Dr Berg for your youtubes, because of you I have lost 30kgs doing the Intermittent fasting. I have also reduced my fatty liver by 2cm from drinking Apple Cider Vinegar...or maybe it has occurred because of the intermittent fasting or eating high fat low carb. Either way...who cares...I watched your videos, I learn and I put your info into practice. Please keep them coming, and thank you for caring enough to share your knowledge with us.

In Australia, Remedy's Komubucha has less than 0.1! And it tastes soooo good. Also Nexba's tepache and komubuchas also sugar free (tastes so good)! they use erithrytol and Stevia to sweeten it. Both of these brands are my favorite and best tasting imo with little or no sugar. Only one thing, Remedy's is a tiny bit higher on the carb side, but Nexba is 0carb 0sugar. So nowadays I tend to drink more Nexba probiotic drinks. But Remedy's kombucha really tastes like cider!

While brewing a batch of black tea kombucha, I let some of it turn to vinegar. It tastes great, a bit like ACV but milder and a bit like apples with black tea overtones. Wondering if it can be consumed in a similar fashion as ACV, and whether it takes on different chemical characteristics from komboucha as it matures into komboucha vinegar.

@Goldies24 5 лет назад

IBS sufferers - Kombucha works very well for me ! Possibly because of the probiotics plus the low-pH. Before that I started with ACV. ACV didn't seem to help me as much for the IBS - but it is still good for many things. I brew my own Kombucha. It started with a thin Scoby - now I have serious amounts of it. Before that, my doctor just gave me antibiotics - which just made me worse & depressed. Depression sufferers - same as above. There is definitely a gut-brain-mood connection that modern medicine has yet to understand. Makes sense to keep our trillions of good colon bacteria happy. I am low in Vitamin B-12 & tired. B-12 pills don't help. Yet (possibly) Lactobacillus Reuteri produces Vitamin B-12. Maybe Dr Berg can explain it. I still take medicine for the "dark cloud". I take a swig a Kombucha before each meal (but not too late or it will keep me up). May take several weeks. All I know is that I feel better !

@@sweetmac17 Hi there, I bought a plain kombucha from the supermarket (GTs brand). I put it in a half gallon ball canning jar. I covered it with a coffee filter and the jar ring. I added one cup of lukewarm sugar water (1/4 cup sugar) to the kumbucha. And let it sit in my kitchen cabinet for a few weeks. Just let it sit. Don't stir. It will make a scoby. You can watch all of this on RU-vid. That's where I learn to do this. After I grown a scoby, I boiled 2 cups of water, took the heat off and added 8 black tea bags in the hot water and let it seep for 5 minutes. Take the tea bags out , than stir in 1 cup of sugar into the hot tea water. Once sugar is dissolved and some ice cubes to cool down to lukewarm. Add to the scoby in the half gallon jar. Add water to the neck of jar. Let it sit for a week to 10 days. Use a straw to taste it. When your kombucha is ready to jar up, always keep 1 to 1 1/2 cup of kombucha with the scoby. Start another batch or you can wait until you're ready. Keep in the cabinet either way. I refuse my store bought kombucha bottles. I favor my kombucha using tea bags with favor teas. I favorite is peach tea or lemon ginger tea. I soak the tea bags for 3 to 5 hours. I just take the favor tea bags out and put the cap on the kombucha. I write with a sharpie pen the date and favor on the glass bottle. When you clean the bottle , the sharpie cleans right off with a sponge and you're good to go. Watch RU-vid how others make their kombucha. You will learn a lot. I been drinking it for almost 2 years now and love it.

Something that’s not mentioned much; kombucha is a gateway for those who have a soda addiction. I was addicted to diet soda. I started chugging large bottles of kombucha and, even though that large quantity wasn’t good for me, it started to shift my body and mind. I’m slowly removing it from my diet but it def was a great bridge from fizzy sodas to cleaner beverages.

Am also blending [juicer died] carrots, cucumber, celeray, cauli, broccoli raw ] and adding to juice. Tastes good to me, and I dont hav to cook. Lazy HUH??? TU I also have ACV so how much a day.

Worth mentioning that kombucha is still tea and is therefore a caffeinated beverage, which may explain the increase in heart rate (along with metabolic acidosis). I personally don't consume caffeine after 5pm to avoid sleep problems, some people may say even that is too late. Also, other less expensive alternatives to kombucha (for the benefits of lactic, gluconic acids, and probiotics) include kefir and kvass if you have a Polish, Ukrainian or Russian grocery store where you live. Negatives of kvass and kefir - kvass is made from fermented grain so not ideal for people trying to avoid gluten or carbohydrates. Kefir is a milk product and thus still contains unfermented lactose.

Too bad kombucha tea and mother of vinegar are comfortable in different acidity levels, if you let the acidity rise more than 1% in kombucha it will kill the lactic and gluconic cultures leaving only acetic acid culture. I've made a SCOBY of both kombucha and mother of vinegar from ACV, going to find out how it's going to end up. Hoping acetic acid culture will live in lowered acidity levels so that my bucha has the best of both worlds. Will have to watch this Frankenstein of cultures closely and not let the batch sit longer than 7 days.

Hey guys Remedy is a great sugar free option and it’s sweetened with Stevia Extract and lemon juice. This isn’t a sponsor. I just love it.

@russf6572 5 лет назад

I'm a home kombucha Brewer, and prefer my kombucha at the 9-10 day brew. Much more of a vinegar taste then sweet. Although I don't know how much (if any) sugars are still in it, I am confident that the sugar content is far less than store-bought kombucha. ALSO!! I want to thank you for pointing out the need for lemon in my diet. I've had kidney stones before and I'm in no hurry to go through that again! Ever! I've got a big jar of fermented lemons that I was wondering what I could use for. Now I know! 1/4 lemon as a bedtime snack! Great videos. Thank you!

@MrAnd3rson 2 года назад

Can you teach me how

@lindamyers8475 Год назад

I agree. The sugar is the food for the fermentation, so especially with a longer brew time, there would be less sugar left. I was eating keto at the time and had no issues with any remaining sugar.

@yohann1960 Год назад

My wife brews 4 gallons at a time. He favorite is Lemon and Ginger. Gingerade. Hardest part is keeping it to 1 a day and waiting a week.

@rodb4523 Год назад

Idk how you can drink more than a splash of kombucha, I treated it almost the same as ACV. Therefore, I should probably just stick to ACV.

@yasminefromagrabah5458 2 года назад

I want to gain weight. Can I use ACV? I lose weight when I’m stressed. I’m not sure why some people gain and some people lose weight when stressed. I also have muscle spasms and that’s why I want to try ACV…

@n0426 6 месяцев назад

As a Muslim I don’t touch alcohol. Kombucha still has a small amount of alcohol right?! I like my acv before bed.

@keepdancingmaria 6 лет назад

I drink both. I make my own Kombucha, and sometimes it gets really vinegary! Not a lot of sugar left after my long fermentation times!

@traceylok675 6 лет назад

How long do you ferment you Kombucha? I let mine ferment for one week but also wish I could know how much sugar is left at this stage?

@keepdancingmaria 6 лет назад

Tracey, it depends on the temperature in my house, but it is always much longer than 1 week. I use a straw (regular drinking straw) and test the taste after 2-3 weeks for any sweetness at all. When it tastes very tart and slightly fizzy, I put it in jars with a couple of pieces of crystallized ginger and tighten the lids very tight. If I don't want it flavoured with ginger, I use a bit of frozen fruit. OR I just put it in jars with no flavouring at all for plain. That sits in my dark cupboard for another 3-4 weeks. It comes out very fizzy and mouthwateringly tart (but I like that) That's my Summer fermentation. Winter takes much longer (cold house). After I put the batch in jars, I start a new batch of course, with some of the kombucha I just made, and more sweet tea. You know this, of course, I am just saying for other viewers. I don't need to store my SCOBIES because they are always in use for long periods. So... MUCH longer fermentation than your batches have. But if you like it that way, then your way is best for you. I'm sure there are instruments that will measure sugar in alcohol making that would work for you. I don't know what they are called right off. If I find out, I'll come back to say.

@traceylok675 6 лет назад

keepdancingmaria wow that's way much longer than mine. When you do your second ferment is it without the Scoby?

@keepdancingmaria 6 лет назад

Oh yes, certainly. I have a primary and a secondary fermentation going on simultaneously. I make a gallon of sweet tea, wash my hands, take the SCOBY out of the brewing vessel,and set it on a largish saucer (VERY clean of course) Then I start pouring the ready batch into their jars. I want to start bottling, but don't yet have a capper and caps, so I just use small jars that I know will seal well. You want them smallish because once you open the jar, the carbonation won't last for a very long time, so I don't use quart sized jars. When I have filled jars and kept back about a quart of just made Kombucha, I wash the fermentation vessel, pour in the reserved kombucha as a starter tea, and then pour in the by-now-cooled sweet tea, Wash my hands and place my SCOBY on top, smooth shiny side up. Secure the cloth, wash my hands again, and take it to the spot where I ferment. Then I put the small jars in the cupboard for their second fermentation. And reward all my backbreaking labour by opening up a small jar from the PREVIOUS batch (not the batch I just put to bed) So every 2-3 months all this takes place in a single 2 hour process. Often I make the tea overnight while I sleep, so it is room temperature when I'm ready to do my switcheroo magic. If you like it sweeter then of course you would be doing this more often, and possibly making smaller batches so you don't get overwhelmed? That all depends on how much you and your family drink. Or you could store your SCOBY in some starter tea in between batches. That is called a SCOBY hotel and there are videos on youtube to explain. I do have one stored in case of a mold invasion. And you can skip the secondary fermentation altogether once you really like your kombucha taste in the primary fermentation. Really, the only requirement is cleanliness. I hope this helps anyone who might be interested.

@traceylok675 6 лет назад

keepdancingmaria thank you for the info that helps a lot. I love mine but always worry its knocking me out of keto coz of the sugar. Good advice, much appreciated. :)

I put 2 small spoons of ACV, with water, stevia, cinammon and powdered ginger, and sometimes I add some chia seeds, It just taste delicious and is super healthy. Give it a try!

@InAweOfAnimals 3 года назад

My husband & I drink a whole bottle of homemade kombucha all the time (at dinner time, around 6:30-7:00pm). We go to bed about 11:00pm. Neither of us have ever had a problem with it affecting our heart rates. And my husband has had an episode of A fib in the past (before I ever started making kombucha). Kombucha is a great drink to replace soda. My hubby used to drink a lot of coca cola. That probably had about 33-50gms of sugar (high fructose corn syrup) per can so I am not too concerned about 2-6gms of ORGANIC sugar in kombucha. I think that's a pretty good trade off.

@Российскийбот-ы3у 6 лет назад

Which is better? Personally, I prefer a pint of Guinness Stout or, in hot weather, a nice Wheat Beer. We can't be carb police 24/7, can we? I like kombucha as much as the next Russian Bot, but it aint no substitute for beer. And if, from a keto perspective, occasional beer-drinking may seem to be a vice, I see it as a redeeming petty flaw that not only provides much pleasure, but may also stave off a more substantial threat to life and limb (like breaking a fast with a glazed cinnamon roll). Like the poet said, All things in moderation (including, presumably, moderation itself).

@namkhatsogyal 6 лет назад

What if you make kombucha at home and let it ferment till it becomes vinegar?

@keepdancingmaria 6 лет назад

I have really long fermentations and it gets quite vinegary. I've used it in cooking as a vinegar even. Making Kombucha at home is not difficult. It takes a long time, but it is not tricky or finicky. Be certain everything you do is sterile. I'm sure you know that. I was writing for people who might be interested and backing up what you say.

@namkhatsogyal 6 лет назад

keepdancingmaria I use it mixed with green tea and sparking water. Great refreshing drink in summer.

@eugenemonaghan7047 5 лет назад

Kombucha has acetic, gluconic, glucuronic, citric, L‐lactic, malic, tartaric, malonic, oxalic, succinic, pyruvic, usnic acids. If you ferment until it goes below ph 3 and eventually turns to vinegar, the acetic acid is the predominant acid that gives it that sharp vinegar bite. Fermentation will only cease once all the food (i.e. sugar) has been processed and turned into acids. If no sugar remains, only acid would this have a similar effect on the body as acv?

@jennyscakesscotland 6 лет назад

@christineplaton3048 2 года назад

Let it turn to vinegar. Use it in a myriad of ways non alcoholic is best.

@jay6817 Месяц назад

I recently had a really cramped up stomach from whatever caused it, but by drinking kombucha tea I was able to walk around again within about 3-4 hours and within another 10 hours I was almost completely cured. One thing I noticed with all of this was that my mood was extremely lifted. So I can say without a doubt it's true what they say that if you have a good gut, you have great feelings. With ACV I noticed my teeth became terrible to the point that fillings dropped out. But this could have been because of my sugary diet well before this. So just to be sure, I now only drink it with a straw as the doctor recommends.

I can mix ACV with Kombucha somewhere in the middle of the day. It simply tastes great and is very refreshing regardless of other benefits. 0.33 of Kombucha + a table spoon of ACV and some 2-3 pieces of cheese as a mid-day snack.
