'The only villages near Chernobyl that didn't experience radiation poisoning were the ones drinking Beet Kvass. I have heard this from multiple sources but I haven't been able to locate any scientific studies, so I'll keep you posted, and if you have any resources related to this please let me know, thanks!
What is verified is that beet Kvass and beet juice helps detox from radiation and toxin exposure, is used as a cancer therapy throughout Europe and is frequently recommended to cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy . Beet Kvass is also a good source of whole-spectrum, natural iodine. Beet kvass cleanses the liver, improves digestion with over 20 different beneficial probiotics and b-vitamin rich yeast, helps with allergies, and more and more. This is why the Ukrainians call it a "Cure All".
If you or someone you know has stress, digestive problems, blood issues, cancer, toxicity, or general health issues please forward this to them."

Beet Kvass and Health
• Beets and beet kvass are valued for their
liver-cleansing properties and widely used
in cancer therapies in Europe.
• Anecdotal reports indicate that beet kvass
is an excellent therapy for chronic
fatigue, chemical sensitivies, allergies,
and digestive problems.
• “Professor Zabel observed that sick people
always lack digestive juices, not only during
the acute phase of their illness, but also for a
long time afterwards. In addition, he never saw
a cancer victim that had healthy flora….Thus,
the different lacto-fermented foods are a
valuable aid to the cancer patient. They are
rich in vitamins and minerals and contain, as
well, enzymes that cancer patients lack. Of
particular value are lacto-fermented beets,
which have a very favorable effect on
disturbed cellular function. Many scientific
studies have demonstrated that beets have
a regenerating effect on the body.”

Inside the Crock
Beets are chopped and submerged in salt
water and whey. Whey is necessary in
order to prevent the beets from going to
alcohol instead of lactic acid. After bottled
and refrigerated, kvass may be consumed
but the flavor deepens and improves after
a couple of weeks in the cooler.
