Google "acid alkaline food list" or something similar, and you'll get at least a hundred different sources quoting the exact same information I supplied.
I'm going to bow out of this discussion now, because I've said what I wanted to say. Try it or don't; it's no skin off my nose! (:-)
You realize that the quantity of Google results doesn't correspond to the truth of a statement, right?

I drink a vinegar cocktail made of 1tbsp vinegar in a tall glass of cold water AM and PM (or I skip the PM cocktail if I'm having a salad for dinner as I'll use 2-3tbsp of vinegar on the salad instead). I started doing this ten years ago and haven't had a single cold since. It's also a great palate cleanser and I quickly got used to the taste.
LOL no
EVEN IF there was a shred of truth to this...how in the world do you think you're making your body more alkaline by drinking a strong acid??
Here's an alkaline 101 primer for you: "Note that a food's acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so, lemons are alkaline forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion, but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid forming."
Now why don't you limit yourself to comments on subjects you actually know something about?
Source?
Looks like a website called Essence-of-Life.com
OMG. They sell baking soda for $31.25. Excuse me, it's in LIQUID FORM and CONCENTRATED.
I felt myself get dumber and dumber the longer I looked at the site.
Which might explain some of the posts in the threadDo people actually think that if they read things on the internet, they must be true? smh
I read once on facebook that everything on the internet is true.

So you've got nothing but your unshakable belief in the rightness of that belief.
Have fun with that.

It may just be my imagination but I feel that I have more energy, or it could be the combination of the massive amounts of water I'm drinking as well.
I use it as a toner and my skin is amazing now! I use it in conjunction with coconut oil.
Also, my friend had a nasty wart on her foot, the vinegar took care of it over the course of applying a soaked cotton ball on it daily for about a week or so.
Braggs is about 4 dollars, I figure its cheap, its natural, so it couldnt hurt.
By drinking or washing with it? Also do you smell of vinegar after if you do wash with it?0 -

Apple cider vinegar, if you like vinegar, is good for salads, and I guess drinks called shrubs in the olden days.
I hate vinegar like I hate woo.
I like vinegar for cleaning and laundry. I just use regular white distilled vinegar, though.
I already posted the link to the only scientific study that's been done, which was basically inconclusive. So it comes down to a matter of opinion, and it seems that on this forum we have several people who use cider vinegar and say it has some benefits for them, and a bunch of people who've never tried it yet are keen to shout about how it can't possibly have any benefits.

I have Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar. I use it to remove moles and warts from various parts of my body and it does an excellent job. I used it on 2 warts on a cuticle and the pain was excrutiating but the warts went away and have stayed gone for a few years. It removed a mole on my back with no pain whatsoever.

I've also tried it in water out of curiostiy. It made the water taste bad.0 -

No it was quite conclusive based on the two or three quotes (including one I posted) from the study itself. It just doesn't say what you think it says.0 -

No, you have people who know how the digestive system works arguing against you and your anecdotal evidence and the logical fallacy of confusing correlation and causation.

The apple cider vinegar alkalinizes the body and creates an environment where viruses can't survive. Or so I've read, and going by my own experience it works.
This is impossible. We can't change our body chemistry that way -- and it's a good thing we can't because making your body more alkaline is no minor change. It would do a great deal more than just make you immune to all viruses.
Think through what you're saying. You're saying that drinking minor amounts of apple cider vinegar would eliminate the threat of all viruses. Why doesn't Braggs send ships filled with apple cider vinegar to Africa to fight HIV/AIDS?
They probably think that the aids epidemic isn't real.
I wouldn't be surprised, y'know, they recommend putting that stuff in your vagina.
Your user name responding in this thread is just so great.

That which you posted wasn't a study. It was a brief summary of different studies and I believe you misread it. Did you read the part that I pulled out, about how the human body is very good at maintaining a stable pH in the body? That contradicts your theory that drinking vinegar can change your body chemistry enough to kill any virus that enters your system. And the "study" that you posted didn't have anything about killing viruses this way.
I use cider vinegar regularly. It makes delicious dressings and pickles. It also does a great job of deep cleaning my hair. I don't think that it can prevent viruses from surviving in the human body because there is no evidence that it is true. If you have evidence that this is true, it needs to be shared with the world. This is bigger than helping someone get over a cold -- we're talking about eliminating Ebola and HIV.0 -
I'm not sure about the appetite suppressant, but I have used it to treat my acid reflux and remove skin tags. It's pretty good in a vinaigrette too.0

Yes, because if there is some useful information on the internet, it logically follows that everything on the internet is true.

I have it every morning and before I go to sleep. I put 2 tbsp(s) in 1 glass of water and 1/2 lemon. It wakes me up in the morning and makes feel full of energy. It also helps you feel better after eating oily food.0

I certainly wouldn't "come onto this forum" expecting valid information just as I wouldn't go on any old website (especially one wanting to sell you something) and believe what they say without doing some investigating for myself. There is a sucker born every minute. Please don't be one of them.

So....is that a "no source"?
So are you a "No Brain"...? Or don't you know how to use Google?
@ceoverturf Don't take it personally. She's just hangry from eating less than 1,000 calories a day.
Hmmm...sounds like she's got this whole weight loss thing figured out!
Starve yourself
Drink Vinegar
PROFIT!
Wait, isn't the vinegar supposed to suppress the appetite? I think you have the steps backward. It's OK though. You can't help being a "no brain" can you?
The vinegar ate my brain tissue.0
