"Kombucha, Baby!" — Bicycling June 2017

The first time Becca Schepps tried kombucha, she thought a conspiracy might be afoot. The label on the bottle of fermented tea claimed that it was low in sugar and loaded with natural health benefits, but the drink gave her “a buzz of clarity” and tasted like a slightly tart soda. So Schepps, a Type 1 diabetic and Cat 1/2 crit racer (and co-owner of the team LA Sweat) used herself as a guinea pig and tested her blood sugar after downing 16 ounces of the stuff.
