    I drink it every day with turmeric and ginger.
    It works for me.
    Makes me feel great.
    I can tell when I've went a few days without it or when I'm taking it.
    I wake up feeling great.
    I'm not sure what it does lol. But I know its doi g sonething.

    Placebo effect is a powerful thing.

    Especially when something tastes as nasty as ACV does. I call it the Mea Culpa Syndrome - people choke it down and then think, "Wow! I just did something good for my body!" Atonement for their previous (and usually current) dietary 'sins.'

    If it tastes like crap, it *has* to be doing good stuff, right? LOL

    I know I'm weird, but I actually like the stuff. ;)

    Still on the side of "does nothing magical for weight loss", though.

    Yes, you *are* weird about that, but it's your only flaw so... <3

    I *did* try it a few years ago when all of the hubbub about it first surfaced.

    Happened to have a bottle in the fridge (it's one of the ingredients for a fabulous flank steak marinade I make, but I digress) so I poured myself a bit and downed it. Thought I was gonna die. To me, it tasted like pure bile in a shot glass. :D

    The good news is I was on the verge of puking for the next few hours, so likely lost weight because I skipped lunch. o:)

    I need this recipe, please! @snickerscharlie

    Here you go:

    1/3 cup olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
    1/3 cup soy sauce
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 t freshly ground black pepper

    The sweet and savory combination is yummy. I let it marinade at least 12 hours. :)

    Edited to add: I use a roasted garlic olive oil, so I only use 1 clove of minced fresh garlic instead of 2.

    You can also substitute red wine or balsamic vinegar for the ACV.

    Thank you. I normally make the Betty Crocker cookbook recipe with lemon juice, garlic and assorted herbs, but this sounds great. Yay, ACV!
