These links make your article more valuable. Also since sugar cane is not unhealthy, someone can buy dried sugar cane juice (Sucanat) and use that. What makes this cane juice unhealthy (refined sugar) is they take out every single vitamin and mineral so all it has is carbs and nothing else.

Hi Betsy, sugar is what feeds the SCOBY and keeps it alive and happy. Once the fermentation process is complete, there is very little sugar left in the kombucha. In fact, you can allow the fermentation process to continue until all of the sugar is gone, however the kombucha would taste like vinegar. I use organic cane sugar when I make kombucha, I’m not sure it would work with anything else like maple syrup or honey because they may damage the SCOBY or be too difficult for it to breakdown. Let me know if you find anything that says otherwise!

So much research that white sugar is the root of all evil!! Have you tried substitutions? The store bought Kombucha has very low sugar per serving to I am surprised that white sugar would be used in a healthy recipe.

You can actually buy them on-line through Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha if you live in the US https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1804595130/rowdy-mermaid-kombucha-0 or you can make your own SCOBY http://www.sarahramsden.com/growing-a-kombucha-scoby/

A friend of mine had tried lots of things to help his digestion and nothing worked until he tried kombucha. I wish that I lived in Toronto so I could get a SCOBY from you. I live in Southern Arizona. Make sure to get enough vitamin D. I love seeing your face since you are so beautiful looking.
