As for food products - let's not pretend that off the shelf native alternatives like kvass (or beer) are much better - they're still chock-full of simple carbs that lend themselves to obesity and insulin resistance.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoWell yeah, but buying kvas instead of cocacola is better for russian industry, and worse for american industry. USA/EU stopping imports of kvas would probably hurt them more, but they probably don't import any significant quantities of those.
- 0x737368 5y agoHow dare you speak in such disrespectful manner to kvass, you philistine! On a serious note, most of store bought kvass might as well be Coca Cola but the real thing is good for you - it's a Russian kombucha. The sugar gets all used up in the process of fermentation and the bacteria are good for you.
- pmoriarty 5y agoI'd like to see some credible evidence that it's any better than beer, which is also made through fermentation.
- aaaaaaaaata 5y agoBeer can be good for you in proper volume.
- krageon 5y agoIIRC kombucha is barely alcoholic, the fermentation mostly makes it fizzy.
