not really about weight, but I read on a health magazine web site than an ounce of pom juice and an ounce of apple cider vinegar each day could relieve some osteoarthritis problems, so I tried it-- pom juice, it's okay, not my fav drink but it's okay..... apple cider vinegar, I literally almost vomited, omg how on earth do people drink that krap?

    I've read from various sources that apple cider vinegar has tons of health benefits (as long as you're using the raw, unfiltered kind). I used to drink a tablespoon of it every night with some apple juice or white grape juice. I like the grape better because the only way I could tell I was drinking it was the burn from the acid.

    LOL I agree. Well, I use it in salad dressing, cucumber salad and when I'm cooking cabbage and it's delicious but just to drink it? Yuck. No, thank you!

    If you are going to ingest apple cider vinegar, make sure it is the raw unfiltered time and ALWAYS dilute it with water. I like to to 8oz water, 1 TBS apple cider vinegar, and 1 TBS honey. ACV on its own will burn your esophagus.

    ...You just -drink- vinegar...?

    I used to clean my reptile tank with apple cider vinegar, so I have a very strong association with apple cider vinegar and grossness. I don't think I could bring myself to use it if I -wanted- to.

    I wouldn't drink it. Makes awesome pickled onions, though, it's a great pick-me-up for apple pie filling, and it's one of my go-tos for french fries (2nd to malt vinegar, but I don't often have that on hand).

    In for hard cider! Wait...what? Apple cider?.... OH!

    I don't drink that, but I like the tartness on kale and other cooked greens. It is also the tangy zing that I love with olive oil on a salad. Even been known to sprinkle on baked potato when I'm out of plain yogurt. yummmmm

    My husband drinks it with hot water, raw local honey (or blue agave) and a pinch of cinnamon.

    I think it's nasty as hell, but he doesn't mind it. It's supposed to have tons of health benefits.

    I have actually grown to like it a lot. I mix it with the fuji-apple pear Sobe Lifewater 0 and put maybe 5 drops of stevia to sweeten it and it tastes great, like apple juice with a kick. Or I even like it just water with stevia now. Sweetening it is key I think.

    I actually drank the Bragg's Apple Cider Cocktail every morning for months. It was hard to get used to at first .. but then not so bad. Did it like a shot! lol Definitely noticed some benefits though.

    What brand do you have? I bought Heinz ACV with the Mother and it was hard to get down then I found Braggs at my local grocery store and at GNC, this is the brand everyone recommends organic and with the Mother. Oh my what a difference, I mix 1TBS with 8 oz of water and a stevia packet, tastes like sweet and sour apple.

    So funny, I was watching some TV show and the guy was going on about how great it is for you. I took a shot of it and literally felt my insides burning. I'm sure its something people get used too (as others have said), I didn't even hate the taste. I just thought I was dying inside for about an hour haha.

    Actually, now that I think about it, it might have been red wine vinegar I drank. Either way, I had some serious regrets.

    you can also make something with it... like salad dressing or something. But don't cook it. it's the only vinegar I'll use (unless I'm doing vegan baking , then you need white vinegar)

    I love the Bragg's mixed Apple Cider Drinks - apple cinnamon, ginger spice. The first sip was odd but than they became oddly addictive,
