Kefir or Kombucha?

Here at Fizzicle, we are kombucha/kefir makers and health & wellness enthusiasts first. There was a stage when our Chief Fizzician wanted to pursue medicine, but she didn't have the patience to make it as a Physician (pun intended). 

So here we have a great video by Dr. Eric Berg DC explaining the difference between Kefir and Kombucha. Please do note that in this video it is a sharing about milk kefir and not water kefir, which we produce. Water Kefir does contain Lactic Acid, which Dr. Eric Berg mentions in the video. 

Kombucha vs Kefir: What Is the Difference?
