    Apple cider vinegar is useful in cooking and as a condiment. It can be a great inexpensive non-toxic cleaner around your home.
    It does nothing for weight loss unless it helps you consume fewer calories.

    If you're going to use vinegar as a household cleaner, why wouldn't you use a cheap gallon bottle of ordinary white distilled vinegar instead? No criticism implied. Genuinely curious.

    Because I have a giant bottle of apple cider vinegar and sometimes use it for multiple things. The price difference between the same brand and size bottle is something like $0.50.
    I also have some white vinegar but this thread was about apple cider vinegar.

    I drink a tbs every night before bed to help me go to the bathroom in the morning. It works wonders. As for weightloss, I doubt it.

    Your body regulates your PH level very well. There is only a miniscule range and if you are out of it you are pretty much dead. Food doesn't alter your PH level.

    This.

    What I believe it steams from, the idea of alkaline diet, is that they found sick people have an acidic ph level. What the proponents want to believe is that the diet caused the illness, not the illness causing the ph to be out.

    For that matter, even if you did want to increase your pH for some reason, there's a very easy way to actually do it (vinegar wouldn't do a thing). Hyperventilate. Notice how you feel like passing out? That's alkalosis.

    Huh. Really? I've learned something today.
