    It helps when I get a cramp or charlie horse...my guess would be the potassium. It's also fairly rich in antioxidants and probiotics...

    As far as the vast majority of claims go...bunch of woo...it's not going to help with weight loss or anything like that.

    It does nothing for weight loss.

    There are benefits, but it isn't the magic weight-loss solution people make it out to be. I like the taste of it, but for people who don't like it, I say don't torture yourself.

    Beneficial for what? I know for a fact, it didn't help with my acid reflux. It's pretty good on salad. Other than that, I have nothing.

    I've tried it. It's awesome on pulled pork and can also be a reasonable substitute for malt vinegar on fish & chips if I don't happen to have any malt vinegar handy.

    For weight loss? Doesn't help one bit, unless maybe chugging the malt vinegar keeps you from drinking a chocolate milkshake instead.

    I'm trying ACV for fibroids after reading this: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/38292073/#Comment_38292073

    Not optimistic but it's not hurting anything. Been doing this for a few weeks. Have not noticed any weight loss effects.

    I heat 12 oz water, add 1 T blackstrap molasses, 1 T vinegar, 1 t powdered buffered vitamin C. It's absolutely dreadful.

    Yeah. I wouldn't expect weight loss from it. I've only ever seen it used for fibroids and cysts. It definitely takes several months to work. Have you had an US to measure the size of your fibroids? Or are they located in such a place where an US would work for that? It was kind of cool that one of my best friends had hers measured before and after because she (and the doctor) could actually see then how much it had changed.

    Probably works better than expensive meds with side effects!

    It worked great to help clear up a hot spot my dog had on his head.

    It is great in cole slaw. There is no proof that ACV is helpful for anything besides making food taste good.

    It does have antifungal effects. Also there are a number of these sorts of studies around.

    so there is some supported conclusions that it reduces blood sugar for some with insulin resistance.

    I use it as an astringent on my face after I wash it. I don't have acne.
