Is kombucha good or bad for your liver?!
Question: Is kombucha good or bad for your liver?
If you don't know what kombucha is - it's a fermented tea used for benefiting your health.
So, I just want clarification as to whether or not kombucha is good or bad for your liver, being that i have liver problems (I've only had a couple kombuchas in my life, I want to know if I should start drinking them on occasion to aid my liver's health, or not drink them at all?)
Thank you!

Natural News is a site I've been getting their newsletters for yrs. and they are "right on".
Here's their article on kombucha tea and it's many benefits.

There would be very little research on the side effects and risks of kombucha. However, you can be assured that it will NOT cleanse 'toxins' from your body, or 'promote' liver function in any way (what does that even MEAN??) Your body already deals with unwanted substances very efficiently via the liver and kidneys - you cannot improve on that function without medical assistance. The alt med 'detox' concept is a scam - in reality 'detox' has NO meaning outside of the clinical treatment of drug addiction or poisoning.
So now you are left with risk and no benefit.
Im no genius,but how about ask a doctor?
