Apple Cider Vinegar anyone?

I don't think I could stand a shot of it straight, or even diluted in water. But I use it on steamed veggies or on salads in lieu of dressing, so I end up consuming quite a bit. In fact, I almost never eat a salad without it, unless I'm in a restaurant.

I also put it in the dogs' water, and in the chickens' water. It prevents all kinds of digestive problems.

I had hoped this would help with my relatively frequent heartburn, but not so much.

Ive done it. It is suppose to have several great old time health benefits. I would say that the last time I went to do a cycle of it it certainly cleaned me out because it caused me to pass a kidney stone! I literally drank it and woke up needing to go to the hospital that morning. Now...I knew I had 6 kidney stones in there from a previous cat scan...and yes I should pass them...but I tell you what FFFFFFFFF THAT! LOL i took 2 TBSP before each meal in a little paper shot cup.

I try to remember to take a shot almost every day, before dinner or something usually. I use unfiltered organic too. Lots of different little health benefits it has! When I feel myself start to get sick or catch a cold, I flush myself with homemade detox & that & I'm usually all good within a couple of days, whereas before I was the kind of person who's sickness would drag on for a week or 2.

Yes!
I've just started recently, I do 2 tbsp with 8 ounces water and a teaspoon of honey for taste. I don't think it's too bad... I just have it first thing in the morning.
Some of the benefits include alkalizing blood ph level AND it seems to help a lot with acne. Some people use it as a facial toner.

My skin is so soft since I have been drinking it (2months). And everyone got the dreaded cold and mine only lasted two days. Plus, it helps with hunger.

I use it in my hair, and take it when I have sore throat.

I drink ACV all the time before meals. I make it more palatable by adding 2 tablespoons of ACV to a glass of 3/4 water and 1/4 flavored Crystal Light. I prefer the grape Crystal Light. It's better when the water and Crystal Light are nice and cold.

Start out by just adding a teaspoon of ACV to your water/Crystal Light blend then work up to the 2 tablespoons.

It's an aquired taste definitely.

Go ahead and gag it down if you must and feel that it does something for you. But those health claims are not supported by science.

Great article on on medical use of vinegar:

I was drinking Bragg's ACV for quite a while. I need to get back to it. I purely went off of the reviews from Amazon and some Google research. I don't mind the science that says it doesn't do anything, it made a difference for me. I felt more alert, I never got sick even when others did. My skin looked amazing! I still use it on my face as a toner followed with organic coconut oil as a moisturizer (I also try to put this in my smoothies as it has amazing benefits too). I also use it diluted in my hair after a shower for help with my dry scalp.

The ONLY WAY I could drink the ACV was to mix it in grape juice. Something about the grape juice just makes it taste okay. I eventually started craving the stuff. I tried all the other recipes in water, honey, etc and almost threw up.

It is bad for your tooth enamel so never take shots of it and always drink it through a straw.

I am telling you though, try it with grape juice! You won't be sorry!

Honestly don't know; however it tastes great on salads!

I mix with honey and water and drink through a straw. It will seriously erode your enamel, as other posters have mentioned. I have yet to decide if it's helping with anything, but I like the way it tastes, so I figure what the heck- as long as it's not hurting anything either!

They do have ACV Supplement that's what I take so I don't have to actually drink it.

I care about science.

I definitely care about science but the "studies" for things are all over the place. I have read (and can reference) studies that say why not drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day is bad for you. I can then find "studies" that say why drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day can be bad for you. Then I read not to drink bottled water but not to drink tap water either. I read one study saying an egg a day helps your body while another study says it increases your risk of heart attack.

I love science bur these "scientific studies" change with the wind.

Yep - my mother in law did that same thing thinking it would her help - now her intestines are WRECKED. has to take medicine for the rest of her life for the damage it did in just a very short time.

Hm. This seems unlikely. How much was she drinking? Even the makers of the product say 1-2 tbsp a day. People put more vinegar on salads and in other food just for the taste without issue.
