I use it in my signature BBQ sauce - really brings out the flavor in pork.3

It kind of won the First Search Engine War, devouring such contenders as Hotbot, Lycos, and Webcrawler. Others have risen to challenge. To date, none have succeeded.4

I clean with vinegar. Great for getting rid of ants. Also great for making sweet pickles.1

Oh my, I'm glad I ran into this thread. Now I know where not to go for help and encouragement. I was doing a search on liver health issues and this thread came up. I have a lot of scary autoimmune things going on so I've been researching everything and anything. I also have heard lots of different things about ACV. Here's some info from WebMD http://www.webmd.com/diet/apple-cider-vinegar-and-your-health Maybe try some autoimmune forums for real experiences with taking ACV. People there are very friendly and helpful. On Facebook, search for hypothyroid mom. She has a very big following and touches on all types of health issues including weight loss. Mostly everyone is helpful and encouraging. I research everything to death but, like you, hearing from people who have actually experienced whatever you're researching is very helpful so I get why you asked the question. Good luck and I hope you find the answers you are looking for.
ACV threads pop up several times a week and in the 3 years I have been on MFP I have yet to see anyone offer actual proof that it works for more than a couple of things, mostly topical. What is wrong with saving the OP a bunch of time?
The question was "Organic Apple Cider Vinegar . . .Myth or Legend?" The answer is myth.2 -

Saving time and being honest is great, but a lot of responses on threads like these do have a condescending tone of "OMG, can you BELIEVE that someone is asking that AGAIN?", like they're offended or scornful that the topic has come up again. Of course there are going to be newbies asking the same questions again and again; they're new , looking for info, and have probably seen various internet articles promoting ACV (or grapefruit or no-sugar or whatever).3 -
@earlnabby I have had success with fruit flies, dunno about knats0

It worked on the gnats too. I get gnats in Spring, fruit flies in Summer and tried it on both.0 -
You might find this podcast informative/entertaining on the subject of the health benefits of vinegar.

So there IS a purpose to all these ACV threads?
I often post either my hot bacon dressing recipe (for spinach salad) or my gr-grandma's cooked salad dressing (perfect for making potato and pasta salad as well as deviled eggs. Less fatty than mayo and MUCH better than miracle Whip)3 -

It can definitely help with that reflux..
It's my go to main salad dressing ingredient.1 -
Again with the apple cider vinegar? Lol.0

Really, the only claim that is actually backed by studies and science is that it can somewhat lower blood glucose when eaten before a meal...similar to a glass of wine.
I've personally found it beneficial to ease cramping when a charlie horse comes on.3 -
Work for what? There's a million sites out there touting it as the new and improved Dr. Smith's Snake Oil - Good for What Ails You. It has a lot of uses in food and cleaning, but it's just ... vinegar
Thats my question? Its being marketed for a ton of uses and I am asking for your experience, if any...
There are some health advantages for the above, but overall if your macro/micro nutrients are in check and you're not consuming more calories than you need to, then you should be just fine.

So, ACV or a glass of wine. I know which one I'm choosing.7 -
It lowers your blood glucose level so it is taken for that reason by many people with type 2 diabetes. Certain diabetes doctors recommend it.0
