How Much Sugar Is in RTB Kombucha?
Being a Nutritionist, I always encourage my clients to quantify whatever they eat. No food is good or bad.
The main goal for starting this RTB Kombucha is to encourage people to take care of their gut health seriously. This is a perfect soda-replacement and great way to satisfy your craving for a fizzy drink while slashing your added-sugar intake & potential health benefits- of Probiotics.The Goal here at RTB is to make sure the Kombucha is low in sugar, kids and adults friendly.Good news is – Kombucha needs sugar…But that the sugar in Kombucha is for the yeast and Bacteria culture to consume, not for YOU and ME. When fermentation is done, the sugar levels are reduced for sure.Here is the comparison of other beverages:Amount of sugar in 240 ml (1 cup) of:
Cow’s milk: 14g
Coconut water: 8.8 g
Apple Juice- 24 gm
Orange Juice- 25.8
Soda: 27g+.

Food doesn’t need gravity to get to your stomach
Our body can move our food through the digestive system even while we are standing on our head. It is not connected to gravity because it works with muscles.
Yes, you heard it right- we can eat Upside down. Food doesn’t need gravity to reach our stomach. When we eat something, the muscles in our esophagus constrict and relax in a wavelike manner, which is called peristalsis and pushes food along the esophagus and into the stomach. It’s difficult to eat upside down, but it’s possible.
Where will the food go if you eat it while hanging upside down why?
Yes. Even if we eat food while hanging upside down, it will go through the alimentary canal because of the process of peristalsis. The muscles of the oesophagus will push the food downward in a wave like action throughout the alimentary canal.

Acid in our stomach is so powerful- It can dissolve razor blades
The acid in our stomach that is HCl hydrochloric acid ( pH 2) is so powerful that it can even dissolve razor blades. Of course, we are not supposed to actually get razor blades in our body, but this is just to indicate how strong your body acids are, if they can dissolve something like metal.
Food for thought:
If it is too powerful then how does it not harm the cells in the stomach?
Well, the cells in the lining of the stomach regenerate so rapidly that HCl does not get enough time to destroy them (The intestinal epithelium is replenished every 3–4 days through an orderly process that maintains important secretory and absorptive functions while preserving a continuous mucosal barrier).
Stomach acid’s low pH level is largely attributable to one ingredient: Hydrochloric acid (HCl). Other components include Potassium chloride (KCl) and Sodium chloride (NaCl).
The cells lining our stomach wall secrete this acidic trio. The cells also release several enzymes and mucus. This mucus is vitally important to the process. It protects the lining of your stomach so the acid and other gastric juices don’t damage the sensitive organs.
Scientists have experimented with razor blades, disk batteries and capsules by putting them in an acid-simulating juice to see how best to deal with them if swallowed accidentally. The researchers found that 24 hours later, razor blades lost their original weight and became 63 % Of its weight, and became fragile. Forget what they say about swallowing a seed and having a tree grow inside you. The Ph level in the stomach ranges from 1-3 which is so strong a mere seed cannot hope to survive.
