Does kombucha tea really have health benefits?

the mix to ferment. The resulting liquid contains vinegar, vitamins B and a number of other chemical

compounds.

Proponents or supporters of kombucha claim that the tea helps prevent and manage serious health

conditions, from blood pressure to cancer. (11) , these claims are not backed by science. Limited

evidence (12) kombucha tea may offer benefits similar to probiotic supplements, including

The man in the baseball cap and sunglasses waited for the teller to notice him. The morning of
May 26, 2000, was quiet inside the LaSalle Bank in Highland Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

“May I help you?” said the young woman behind the counter. The man reached to the back
of his khakis as if to fish out a wallet. Instead, he presented her with an index card. The teller’s
smile wilted as she stared at the words: “THIS IS A ROBBERY. PUT ALL OF YOUR MONEY
IN THE BAG.”

The robber, a slender man wearing a blue oxford shirt, returned the card to his pocket.
“Nice and easy,” he said coolly, handing over a plastic shopping bag. While the teller anxiously
transferred bundles of cash, the man gently pressed his palms together as if he were about to
whisper “Namaste.” “Thank you,” he said, and walked out the front door.

Less than two minutes later, Tom emerged from an underground parking lot carrying a bicycle
on one shoulder and a messenger bag over the other and wearing a red, white, and blue spandex
bodysuit. He climbed onto the bike and began to ride leisurely.

Tom cruised up to a trash can. After fishing two crisp $20 bills out of the plastic bag, he held
it upside down over the can. Several bundles of cash – $4,009 in all – tumbled into the trash. The
man returned the empty sack to his messenger bag and pedalled away.

Thirteen-year-old Tom Justice watched in awe as the cyclists careened around the outdoor
track of the Ed Rudolph Velodrome, outside Chicago. Every time the pack whirled by, it cut the
air, unleashing a concentrated whoosh. Before that summer of 1983, Tom had never seen a bicycle
race, let alone a velodrome. But from the moment he entered the stadium, he was transfixed.

He returned a week later with his maroon Schwinn. As the stadium lights buzzed, a dozen
suburban kids gathered on the track. Everyone was wearing T-shirts and gym shorts except for
Tom, who stood out in the professional-grade jersey and padded cycling shorts his father had just
bought him.

Tom won the 12-to-14-year-old heat easily. Straddling his bike, his chest still heaving, he
felt a surge of adrenaline. He had finally found something at which he excelled at. His father, Jay
Justice, a Navy veteran with an abundance of athleticism, was thrilled.

By Tom’s junior year at high school, his identity hinged on cycling. In 1987, just four years
after his first velodrome victory, Tom was selected to attend the Olympic training camp in Colorado
Springs, Colorado.

However, after high school, Tom’s commitment to cycling and everything else lapsed. Instead
of training, he broke into empty houses to smoke cigarettes and chug beers with his buddies.

As Tom’s Olympic dream slipped away, he fantasised about identities he could substitute for
the thrilling instant gratification of cycling. He made a list, and then wandered from interview
to interview, growing increasingly unhappy with his mundane life. Then, robbing came easily
enough.

After that, Tom’s real life seemed mediocre and unfulfilling. He wrestled with depression and
brooded over the realisation that at 29, his opportunity to become a world-class cyclist had nearly
passed. If he wanted to pursue his Olympic dream, he had to do it now.
