So I just bought some ACV and I would like to know how to take it! This morning i drank it straight (2 tsp) and drank water after. Not the best choice, lol. Also, if I mixed it in my meals, would I still get the same benefits? Thanks!

    And what, exactly, is ingesting acetic acid supposed to do for you? Further, why would said acetic acid be more or less beneficial as a consequence of its source?

    There are no magic bullets folks.

    You can use it for anything you would use any other vinegar for. Put that shizz on your French fries!

    What benefits are you seeking in apple cidar vinegar? I hope it has nothing to do with weight loss and fueling your ED.

    No, it's not an ED/weight loss thing. As far as I know, people use it to improve digestion (when they have issues with that, but I think too much would have the opposite effect).

    I was just curious because the OP profile states she has been battling an ED for 2 years..... And there is the myth floating around that it can help with weight loss. But..... I hope I am wrong and the OP is using it for other reasons.

    Oh, I see! I hadn't ever heard of that. I'm always surprised by the things people use for weight loss.

    ACV is also good for clearing up that coughing up junk that can often develop when one start working out. Same for when you lie down at night if you have that little nagging cough. 1 oz of ACV to 7 oz of ice cold water.

    I use Bragg's Raw Unfiltered ACV.

    "Rich in potassium, a mineral that is often times lacking in adult diets. This mineral is key for growth, building muscles, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity etc. It also helps to prevent brittle teeth, hair loss and runny noses.

    Rich in acetic acid. This acid is said to slow the digestion of starch which can help to lower the rise in glucose that commonly occurs after meals.

    Rich in ash which gives ACV its alkaline property. This aids your body in maintaining proper pH levels for a healthy alkaline state. (It is particularly important if you drink a lot of coffee or wine.)

    It can help regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol.

    Rich in malic acid which gives ACV its anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

    May help improve bowel irregularity and helps to remove toxins from the body at a faster rate.

    It can help clear up skin conditions and blemishes.

    ACV helps with weight loss by breaking down fats so that your body can use them rather than store them.

    A few lab studies have found that ACV may be able to kill cancer cells or slow their growth."

    What are your sources for this Magic elixer claims that you have put forward?

    How much Cider Vinegar do you need to consume in order to get 300mg of Potassium? 410 grams. How much baked potato would you have to eat in order to obtian the same amount of potassium? 56 grams (about one third of a baked potato )

    the Zinc present is 0.04mg, or 40 micrograms. This is 0.2% of the EU Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Zinc. How significant an amount is 0.2% of your RDA? Two thousandths of the amount you require daily. Great, now I just need to find some way of getting the other 99.8 of my RDA

    Then don't drink it. Not everyone eats double servings of peanut butter Pop-tarts as part of a healthy lifestyle, and not everyone drinks alkaline vinegars. To each his own.

    I'm not even going to comment on your other claims (sources?) but the human body does a very good job of maintaining pH on its own using the respiratory and renal systems. That pH is kept very tightly between 7.35 and 7.45 which is pretty close to neutral (distilled water is 7 for comparison). What is this "healthy alkaline state of which you speak?

    It also is good to rinse your hair with!

    As for the alkaline bit, I'm confused how an acidic drink is improving alkalinity. Why not just eat baking soda like George Noory????
