    my grandmother drinks either one or two TBLS in a glass of vegetable or tomato juice every day (to avoid the taste). She swears by it for lots of things. Weight control is one. I myself have never tried it, but who knows?

    our country seems to have the mentality that unless things are "certified by the government" or "has been proven with scientific tests" they are useless - these things for the most part include natural remedies. there is a reason why everyone seems to think weight loss supplements or pharmaceutical agents, a mega money making industry, are the only Proven cures for things -
    not to rant, but cmon ppl, try out ACV For Yourselves before jumping on the bandwagon and saying that it doesnt do anything. if it Really didnt do anything, why would So many people Swear by it. try it for a month, see if it affects you. if it does, great. if it doesnt, you have your answer, but every body is different, get outside your own bubble - what may not work for you doesnt mean it wont work for someone else!
    im trying it now for at least 30 days and see if it does anything!

    When I did take it, I had to almost force myself to eat. I was so full.

    Many scientists and pharmaceutical companies are looking to the medicine men and women for answers to many illnesses. I am not saying everyone should stop taking traditional meds for alternatives but don't dismiss its benefits or criticize others on their choices, especially when its working for them.
    Willow bark is a good example of something that crossed over into mainstream medicine after careful study. There are a number of long-standing natural remedies that have yet to be tested and it may be fair to assert that we just don't know for sure whether or not they do good or harm. However, I will always be skeptical when something has been put to the test repeatedly and has been proven to have little or no value. Some site I happened across while looking into something else mentioned there was a Japanese study that showed some fat burning benefit to ACV but there was no detailed analysis of the study and no link so I have no idea how much weight can really be given to it. Just because you feel like it's helping you doesn't mean it actually is. Self reporting is problematic in terms of any real study. Confirmation bias is an issue. Mistaking correlation for causation can be an issue. Many individuals also don't have the ability to remove all variables when performing an experiment of one. Not to mention that even if the item in question works for you, one person isn't statistically significant and if your experiment can't be repeated with large numbers of other people it's not particularly relevant.

    I don't think ACV is going to harm anyone so if people feel like trying it it's not likely a big deal. In my case, I'm going to stick to using it in my marinades and as a rinse for my hair.
