Question about Kombucha

[wifeandmommy2-4]

How much Kombucha can my Husband drink per day? We are just starting and sill have a lot to learn.

Also, FYI he probably has a lot of toxins in his body as he is in the Army and is exposed to a lot. He is currently in Iraq and says the environment is pretty bad around there. I'm not sure if that matters but I thought I'd put it out there.

Thank you for you help!

You're supposed to start slow, like 1/2 a glass a day, and go up to as much as about 3 small glasses a day.

Oh, now you tell me! My ds liked my kombucha so much that he drank 2 quarts over the last 3 days. What is the reason for starting slow?

Starting slow minimizes the detox effect or at least allows your body to better deal with the toxins. Once you're used to it though, I know some people (including myself at one point) who drink a lot--like a quart or two a day.
