    I've used it on salads and sometimes cooking (when a recipie calls for lemon juice and I don't have it).
    This is probably going to sound weird, but I had eczema on my elbows, and applied straight to it with the apple cider vinegar (as per the recommendation of some natural health site), it's been months and the eczema has never come back/flaired up again, LOL.

    I mix mine with my green tea and drink about 20 cups a day, I've been doing this for 6 months. Unfortunately the only side effects I've had is liquid leaking out of my body because I died about ten days ago.

    I busted out laughing when I read this.

    My grandparents also drank this, and we did as kids. We had it hot or cold with honey and it's lovely. For us, it stopped us ever getting colds and it did work :) We didn't need to lose weight as children so can't comment on that. But I'd happily start drinking it (as above, with honey) again.
    Oh and Grandma lived to 92 and Grandad 96 :)

    Lucky, that sounds really nice. My grandparents made us drink antifreeze. Never got a cold once though

    I recently started taking it not just for the weight loss benefits but because I saw some list of the benefits on a Facebook page and happened to come across a bottle at Whole Foods. I wasn't about to take shots of it and a couple Tbs before every meal seemed excessive but a couple sites I came across said 2 tsp in 16 oz of water and sip it throughout the day. I've been doing it for two weeks. I add a tsp of honey and now I'm actually used to the taste, it's not too bad. I usually finish it before lunch. I have lost a couple of pounds but my diet has also been more on point. The most obvious effect I have noticed is that the eczema on my hands has cleared up. I get flares on a couple of fingers and the thenar pad of my right hand because I am a massage therapist and am constantly washing my hands. It was really itchy and flaky and I had a couple of cracks and now they are gone. So for what it's worth, there may be some truth to it but I definitely don't think anything is a miracle cure especially for weight loss. I have noticed that I am not hungry as much between meals though. I have PCOS and am insulin resistant so it could be the balancing of the blood sugar. It is interesting and there are no ill effects for me so I figured if I don't have unrealistic expectations and it's not a bother to take it, then I might as well.

    This reminds me of Dr.Oz....I used to love that man....but lately his *Do this and you'll lose weight*, and *Raspberry Ketones* are the way to go...it is a FOR SURE thing. He upsets me...is it all about publicity? Money?

    I'm going to stick with what the nutrition books tell me from college.....exercise and watching what you eat (calorie intake) and portion control.
