It gives me indigestion though. I use it in salad dressing. Not a fan of drinking it
You really shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.0 -
I like it for alkalyzing my body. When you get your body in a good pH balance it can decrease the unwanted inflammation (think of joint pain, ect). Some inflammation is good such as when you get an injury but chronic inflammation is stressful on the body. As far as weight loss though I don't have much experience with it for that. I just take it for my hip and knee issues0

This article discusses the affects of salt and potassium on our bodies, and the presence of those in our diets, but also notes that much more reseatch is needed, and that the human body does well well at managing its' pH on its own. No where it is mentioned that ACV will do this.
When you look up journals on ACV and alkalizing the body, nothing reputable comes up. Just natural news, Mercola, and other woo sites.0 -

It is incredibly difficult to change the pH level of your body with good reason; it doesn't take much change in pH balance to kill you...0 -

The only thing reputable studies show is that it has some positive effect on blood glucose levels if taken before a meal...so does a glass of red wine. It is also beneficial for cramping.
Amino acids, antioxidants, etc that are provided by unfiltered NON PASTEURIZED ACV can be found in a host of other food goods. Note that if you're using the standard ACV, all of those antioxidants and aminos are filtered and pasteurized out.
There is zero credible evidence that it does anything for weight loss.
I use unfiltered ACV all the time...I do not take shots of it though...I use it in cooking and dressings and other "normal" applications.0 -
I've never seen any reputable source endorse "alkalizing the body". I have seen MLM and woo pushers try to sell me alkalizing water to cure my Crohn's disease but it's woo since there is no cure. Why don't all these people who push woo products who claim they cure incurable diseases share their vast knowledge with the highly educated and hard working research scientists who are working their butts off trying to find cures. There's even a vegan in town who educates people on plant based diets who sent an email to all of the pharmacists in town telling them to send all their type 1 diabetics to her classes as her diet cures type 1 diabetes... Um ok0

I have noticed that with my one glass of red wine before dinner. I get my lowest before dinner BG readings those evenings.

It's a shame that people say things like that (which is illegal in the United States), but because of the weird MLM structure, they can just pawn it off as someone not speaking as a representative of a company saying something not supported by the company.0 -

I hope someone reported her to some kind of authority. Those kinds of claims are criminal.
If people want to believe the woo and waste their money, I don't care. If people put their actual life in danger (or their children's lives) I have a problem.0 -

You don't want to change your blood pH, in that fact you are right. Most benefit from alkalyzing the guts pH. Stomach needs to be acidic but majority of intestines need to be alkaline0 -

But the point is you can't change either by ingesting different types of food.
And even if you could, there's no need to because your body does it for you.0 -
Ok I drink it daily for water retention it's a mild diuretic and don't take any medications anymore, my grand father and father in law use it for gout and both were able to come off medication, I use it on the farm in water for our chickens during molting season to help prevent bacterial infections, and our goats also drink it as they sometimes suffer from bladder stones.
There is lots of anecdotal stories of it helping with gout, stones etc can't say I've ever looked for hard studies on the subject but I've seen plenty of success with it.
I use the one with 'the mother' and honey a tablespoon in a glass of water and I actually enjoy it. For our animals we get a different one in bulk but not for human consumption.
I can't say it's helped with weight loss that's all from hard work, the alkilize/alkaline thing is a load of rubbish.

What you put in is what you'll get out. It is important for us to give our bodies the tools it needs, it can't do what it's supposed to with the toxins many of us eat. My personal testimonial is that ACV has helped me and if someone wants to try it they should go for it.0 -

Can you name a few of the specific "toxins" that "many of us eat"? I don't mean the usual generalized woo like "processed foods", I mean specific toxins. Also, do you have any peer-reviewed studies showing how ACV rids us of "toxins" or "alkalyzes" your body? All I've ever seen is blog posts and advertising hype, never seen anybody post some real, actual science proving these things. It's my contention that no such science exists because it's all woo, but if somebody can prove otherwise I'm all ears.....0 -

Not only that, but what is the mechanism for apple cider vinegar assisting with getting rid of toxins? This must be some process that was never covered in biochemistry.0 -

One time I deadlifted with a hangover and pulled a PR. So, maybe toxins provide our body with the tools that it needs to succeed. This is just my testimonial though....0 -
There was a good study at Demirel University on ACV and how it effects oxidative injury in the liver and kidneys. It was by Naziroglu in The Journal of Membrane Biology and is fairly recent0

Isn't Naziroglu a character from Lord of the Rings? I wouldn't be taking dietary advice from a ringwraith, but that's just me.0

That's because it does contain antioxidants...so do many other foods, including red wine, colorful fruits and berries, vegetables, etc...that's not really detoxing though...0
