I'm using ACV to marinate my pork chops for dinner tonight. Watch out world!1

A lot of people say it doesn't help and then some say "now that you know it doesn't help".....with not a single scientific study reference. It doesn't help because a bunch of people said so???? Whatever, I think it does help some. There now it is proven to help.19

Show the proof that it does work. (You can't because there is none)4 -
Here's a summary of some of the scientific investigations into ACV: http://sciencedrivennutrition.com/apple-cider-vinegar-evidence/What’s the verdict?
A majority of claims made about apple cider vinegar and health are not supported by the current body of scientific literature. There is some evidence that vinegar consumption can reduce the glycemic response to a meal and potentially increase satiety. Therefore, individuals who are diabetic or who may be trying to lose weight may notice some benefit to consumption. At 3 calories per tablespoon it won’t eat up all of your daily caloric allotment if you are in one of those situations and want to give it a try. It also likely isn’t going to be detrimental to health or weight loss progress in any way. However, if you think apple cider vinegar alone will be the solution to your weight loss, you will be greatly disappointed because there is no magic pill. Ultimately, for weight management and overall health your best bet is to consume an adequate calorie intake for your goals from a nutrient-dense diet, stay active and maintain a healthy body weight.5 -
Me & hubby have been drinking it for years, most of the time with a little honey. It's great for neutralizing acid. Cured acid reflux7

For you. There are just as many people who have acid reflux and ACV makes it worse. Depends on whether your reflux is from excess acidity or low acidity. ACV adds acid to the stomach, it does not neutralize it. If your symptoms are caused by too little acid, adding a bit more will help.4 -

The placebo effect must be strong in that one.4 -

Yes, placebo effect is a powerful and mysterious force. I now have the power chords from Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" running in my head.

Remind her that nutritionists get a bout 6 weeks of training, usually through a correspondence course. If she wants real, truthful, and useful information she should see a Registered Dietician.2 -
My cousin told me about ACV. Half a bottle of water with a dash of cayenne pepper, and a shot of AVC. Definitely curbs the appetite. Not so much of a diet, but better than diet pills. Cousin has Crohn's disease and the ACV is more natural appetite suppressant. Good luck! I'm with you on this one!14

Has anyone tried the apple cider vinegar diet?
Yes. See various PT Barnum quotes to understand why.5 -
Tried it. All I lost was the will to live! Started counting calories about two months later. So far have lost about 20-25lb.2

I have apple cider vinegar on the shelf for when I make red velvet cake. I don't use it for anything else. I don't need to nutrilise acid because I have a healthy functioning pancreas which does that for me.
There's some logic to the idea that drinking it will make you feel so sick you won't want to eat and so will lose weight. Sounds like a miserable way to live though.1 -
It's good for digestion. Acid to break down your food better. It also metabolizes certain organs. When you digest better, most likely you get rid of the food faster, and therefore you lose the fat. It does increase energy. Try it in the morning with glass of water ... it acts better than coffee. So anything that gives energy, your body is burning calories to provide you the energy. All in all, it's not like you're losing hundreds of calories from it... probably 100 or so. A lot of people use it to cure indigestion though.21

I like my organs. I don't want them metabolized.9 -

What? Metabolizes organ?
That would be a horrible, horrible thing!
And better digestion actually would mean better absorption of nutrients, which is a good thing, but that would also mean better absorption of calories.2 -

I'd rather just use it in my Bourbon BBQ sauce.1 -
The acid in it is nullified by what the actual hydrochloric acid in your own stomach can do.It's good for digestion. Acid to break down your food better.
What? Why would you want your organs metabolized?It also metabolizes certain organs.
Digestion is a process to reduce food and drink down to it's simplest components to be ABSORBED by the body. You not "getting rid" of anything at this point. And it does nothing to "lose the fat".When you digest better, most likely you get rid of the food faster, and therefore you lose the fat.
Again what? Lol, you're burning energy to provide energy? How in the world will you ever reduce stored energy in that case?It does increase energy. Try it in the morning with glass of water ... it acts better than coffee. So anything that gives energy, your body is burning calories to provide you the energy.
With the POSSIBLE exception of helping with indigestion, the rest you've posted is misinformation. Wherever you're getting it from isn't a great source.All in all, it's not like you're losing hundreds of calories from it... probably 100 or so. A lot of people use it to cure indigestion though.

So instead of having my proctocolectomy i should have just drank acv2 -
ACV got rid of my DH's planter wart. Ginger for motion sickness.0

I used ACV for years for other things--hair, skin, GERD--and it worked wonders. But I've never tried it as a diet. It did help maintain my weight at the time, but unfortunately, I wasn't shooting for that lol. If you're going to use it for anything, don't use the clear stuff. Opt for unpasteurized with "mother"--the floating residue at the top. The clear stuff is good for cleaning and cooking... that's about it.6

Sadly, I don't think this nonsense is ever going to die. Just this week MSN had an article about how Jennifer Aniston drinks ACV every morning and was basically saying that it's magic and will make us all like her. Uh, no. No thanks. Ridiculous.0 -
Protect tooth enamel ? I must disagree. My husband used to drink a swallow daily, not diluted, and ended up having dental issues over time, which I am assuming had something to do with it. ?? He read something that made him believe this was a good idea for what I don't know. Just thought I would mention.0
