    It's no magic pill or anything but it can help get rid toxins in the body and help with bloating among other things. It's kinda like an aid, I myself tend to stay bloated so I drink that or lemon water for those reasons. But, honestly, it's best to just do the research yourself instead of asking these types of questions on here.

    When you give it some thought, it makes good sense that drinking apple cider vinegar before meals would help with weight loss. Apples are a good source of pectin, and including pectin in your diet can make you feel fuller and more satisfied. Since apple cider vinegar contains the same amount of pectin as apples (one apple has about 1.5 grams pectin), it can suppress your appetite in a similar way.

    There is also good science behind why apple cider vinegar would encourage weight loss even more effectively than eating raw apples. In general, acids help with the digestion of protein, the building blocks for some of our hormones, especially growth hormone.

    We’ve seen how this hormone is instrumental in breaking down fat cells. By increasing the acid present in your stomach before a meal, you’ll ensure the chances for thorough digestion and increase the availability of protein for hormone synthesis.

    This isn't good science, it's a blog.

    Name me one "toxin" that it gets rid of.

    ...and by what mechanism it gets rid of said toxin(s). In other words, what is the physiological process ACV evokes to rid the body of toxins?

    (Hint: no physiological process, and no elimination of toxins - because it's all woo.)

    I posted the blog because it's an easy read, but I'm just saying it's not hard to do a little research there are tons more that I could have posted but I don't have time for that, your going to find people who say it works for some and people who say it doesn't just like any other medicine, service, facial cleaner, cleaning product, grass seeds, etc, it's just one of those things.

    One of my housemates regularly goes through a gallon of ACV every two weeks or so. She drinks it straight. It freaks me out

    I would be happy to drink that much ACV if it is in the toddler stage of development (aka hard cider)

    Apple Cider Vinegar is a cure for warts and I HAVE PROOF.
    Weight loss sorry no proof

    Mildly acidic liquids are known for being helpful in removing things like warts and skin tags. Vinegar is the most popular.

    I like to take boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and briefly marinate them in a mixture of my favorite dry barbecue rub, garlic powder, McCormicks montreal chicken seasoning, salt, pepper, olive oil, and Apple Cider Vinegar. If I'm out of Apple Cider Vinegar, I will use other acids like lemon juice or red wine vinegar. Put them in a baking dish, add just a little water (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on how much chicken and the size of the dish). Bake in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes, and it is so tender and delicious.

    Given that vinegar is used commonly in cooking (and salads) I can't imagine that it's bad for you in moderation. Can anyone report that it reduces their appetite?

    I really dislike the taste of vinegar. I don't even use it in salad dressings. I always use lemon juice instead.

    It is great for getting rid of soap & surfactant residue though... as in for a decent hair detangling rinse after shampooing, or in the dish rinse water to get the soap residue out of plastic-ware.

    Dammit, while we're on the subject of vinegar, I picked up a bottle of mango white balsamic vinegar the other day because the samples they had out smelled heavenly. I just dumped a bunch of it on my salad and now I'm looking at the calories (wrong order, I know) and it's 40 calories per tbl! This is so unfair!

    This is why I don't eat salad. By the time I'm done adding things to it, it has as many calories as a stack of protein pancakes. So I just eat those instead :p

    ACV is a dieretic, so it will only take off water weight.

    I took ACV for something else for two months and didn't notice any diuretic properties. And I didn't lose weight.
