Kombucha: I did not read the earlier entry. There have been some case reports of hepatotoxicity with Kombucha. It would be more likely to cause a problem if there is a pre-existing health problem. Contamination of homemade Kombucha is also possible. See: https://www.livestrong.com/article/484465-kombucha-liver-damage/. Kombucha is also reported to help liver health.
