You thought wrong.
MFP is supposed to help people reach their health & fitness goals in a healthy, sustainable way. Which, at times, includes telling people they're doing it wrong.
In the manner some folks "tell people they're doing it wrong" sucks. Let's be honest.
No, you just don't like it.
I cannot remember where I read this or what the source was, but there's a split between what kind of "help" is most, well, helpful.
Some people are wired to respond best to bluntness. Some people are wired to respond best to sweetness, light, and warm fuzzies.
Since this is a forum with far more readers than posters, isn't it terrific that there are a wide range of responses that pretty much have both of those types of responses covered when correcting grievously wrong information?
You clearly are not the type who responds to bluntness. That's cool. Lecturing a bunch of adults who are perfectly capable of making their own moral judgments isn't really going to do anything productive for you in the long run though, is it?

I don't want to alarm you, but one of the Xenu proven side effects of the magical Apple Cider Vinegar is a loss of the ability to form words like "good." It has something to do with all the toxins that are released when your metabolism heats up and your belly fat melts.
You need to do a Peeps cleanse to flush the toxins and reach enlightenment.
@EWJLang you might be my favorite.0 -

Yeah, 'cause we love playground bullies here. Let's all join in and mock someone for making a typo! That's really constructive.0 -

Yes, I was a bully. So, so, meen.
But, let's be clear. The typo was merely the vehicle. The utter idiocy of the rest of the post was the cause for my naughty, naughty cruelty.0 -

Hahaha! I'm not really familiar with Snookie (which is probably fortunate). Does she have strong vinegar cravings? :P0 -

Yep, exactly. There's no dialogue (i.e. an exchange of ideas), just a contingent of "experts" who seem to repeat the same blanket advice to everyone no matter what their personal circumstances, and who try to shout down, belittle or mock anyone whose viewpoint differs from their own.

I was taking Braggs ACV to kick start my liver function as well as to help lower my high blood pressure, admit it does taste like crap but it seemed to help my body detox and start my weight loss journey. I read a few websites about it then consulted my doctor who said they agreed it can help start a lazy liver to work properly again, don't know about appetite suppression claims. My blood pressure is back to normal and my weight loss continues after 7 months still, no longer taking daily but if I ever felt like I needed some detoxing again I would.0

A.... real life medical doctor.... said something about .... a "lazy liver".... not "working properly"... and vinegar fixing it.
An MD.
Not a naturopath?
Pull the other one, it's got bells on it. It'll play "Up a Lazy Liver"-2 -

Re vinegar "with the mother". Took 2 tablespoons in morning before eating. Again last thing before bed. For two weeks.
Haven't had any heartburn since.0 -

The apple cider vinegar alkalinizes the body and creates an environment where viruses can't survive. Or so I've read, and going by my own experience it works.
Nope. Not possible. This was discussed about the alkaline water and someone put a link up to a website basically saying this wasn't possible.
Yes, and I could find you a dozen conflicting (and equally reputable) websites that will say it does work. The truth is there is no irrefutable medical evidence about it (there is a paper summing up what is known here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3195546/ which basically states that more research is needed).
All I know is that I haven't had a cold for the past ten years, so you can put that down to coincidence if you like but I think it's more likely to be the vinegar. (:-)
You apparently missed this line too:
" A low-carbohydrate high-protein diet with its increased acid load results in very little change in blood chemistry, and pH, but results in many changes in urinary chemistry."
So if you change the acidity/alkalinity of your diet, it does nothing to change your blood chemistry, you just pee out the extra.
You read it too?
That has to be one of the worst research articles I've seen in years.
An environmental journal publishing a review on a dietary trend? Wtf.0 -
I think that Bragg's apple cider vinegar is supposed to help the digestive system. I believe in fermented foods helping the gut. The acid in the vinegar is mild and since the pH in the stomach is low (acidic), it will not counter-act the pH. So many people who have GERD and are looking for other choices rather than having to take a protonix or H2 antagonist. I have never had a problem with GERD myself..so can't comment on whether it works or not. I'll get people back in the day thought willow bark (aspirin) was a crazy health trend. As far as helping with weight loss---not in any huge significant way, imho. Unless drinking a tall glass with a little vinegar helps to fill the stomach for a short time.0

Apple cidar is actually pretty good at getting rid of warts. I have personally tried it twice, with excellent results both times (one on finger and the other on my toe). You basically soak a cotton ball with ACV and apply it to the wart, and bandage it on (still wet) with a bandaid, and keep the bandaid on 24/7. You repeat until wart center turns black (it will be white from soaking in ACV, but if you take the bandaid off for an hour, you can see if it turned black or not). Few days later it will fall off.0

MFP is supposed to help people reach their health & fitness goals in a healthy, sustainable way. Which, at times, includes telling people they're doing it wrong.

Don't you know? We're all supposed to check critical thinking at the door and validate everything anyone says with a "that's lovely dear, how nice for you" because puppies, kittens, glitter, and unicorns help you lose weight.

All I can say about all this is live and let live. If people think ACV cures their ails, well good luck to em' . Who am I to burst their bubble!? Truly, who really cares what strangers on the interwebz do. Anyone with a shred of common sense will be able to sort the truth from the *kitten*. Not all newbies who come here looking for advice are stupid nitwits. They don't need saving from the MFP police

The Queen of the Insults strikes again. Summary - only a moron would use ACV for any health-related issue.
But with her BS in Biology, MS in Nutrition, and Doctorate in Human Physiology, I suppose she does know more than all of us.
Oooooh, do I get to wear a tiara????

You said drinking apple cider vinegar changed your body chemistry so that viruses could no longer survive.
Are you now doubting that the HIV virus is the cause of AIDS? Or are you saying that this works for some viruses and not others?

There are people in this thread saying that apple cider vinegar will make you immune to viruses. People acting on that misinformation could be actually dangerous.
Pseudoscience flourishes when people sit back and assume that people will figure it out for themselves or justify that it doesn't hurt them if people deny reality. But things like the recent measles outbreak show that it can hurt us and it can hurt innocent people.
I like this community because it is so science-based and there is so little tolerance for fantasies. I would hate to see that change.
