    I suppose it would for me as I find vinegar to be emetic, but I don't think it would hold for others, nor would I use it for myself.

    Can make you nauseous and eat less maybe....🤔

    That is basically my personal experience. I was given a sample bottle of apple juice with ACV...It was awful. My son was nearly sick after drinking half a glass. The rest of us had a small taste and didn't like it, and it ended up down the drain. No one really felt like eating anything for a while.

    That said, I quite like a small bit of vinegar as a salad dressing sometimes.

    Was that half a glass of neat ACV ?!

    I use high quality vinegars but in a totally different way. A good quality flavored vinegar (I use a local brand called Oli+Ve but there lots of gourmet brands out there ) can have as little as 10 calories per tablespoon. It runs $10 bucks a bottle, but little goes a looooong way and I seldom use a tablespoon. I use simple flavored vinegars for salad dressings. Breakfast this morning is cottage cheese, blueberries, strawberries, a few grams of grape nuts and 12 grams of strawberry vinegar. Their chocolate vinegar is great on yogurt, and makes a killer base for pork carnitas. Fig balsamic makes a great marinade for pork tenderloin. Honey- ginger balsamic makes a nice light stir fry seasoning. I have a whole arsenal of flavored vinegars, and consider them my secret weapon of weight loss, lol.

    I tried drinking the Bragg’s ACV years ago for acid reflux. It neither helped nor hindered. Changing what I ate? Years of tormenting, painful reflux was gone within a couple of weeks. Thank heavens!!!!!!

    I have an ounce a day. I have it in the morning. It wakes me up (flavor is so astringent that I don’t need coffee) and flavor makes it that I don’t crave food for a few hours. I’m also sure that could be accomplished with other foods too.

    I know the reason I’m losing weight is that I’m eating less than I’m burning, but for me apple cider vinegar has been a good ingredient in a diet of mostly good ingredients helping me in weight loss.

    A very respectable journal article on rats benefiting from ACV. If you know any overweight rats please inform them of the benefits!

    Unless drinking it makes you throw up all your food, otherwise no.

    ACV made me eat more. I tasted it out of curiosity and it was so gross I had to eat garlic mashed potatoes to cover it up. Those were some good potatoes.

    Might go good on french fries, though. I love regular vinegar on french fries. Anyone ever have Gibby's fries? They're always at our local festivals, which are coming up soon. I always get french fries with my parents and we watch the airshow, which is generally either the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds. I can't remember which this year. I hope it's not too hot.

    Malt vinegar is better on french fries. ACV is better in cocktails (really), or fruit salads. Balsamic is good in most everything. ;)
