It might not be great at drinking it before meals, but I use it to clean my kitchen and it works FANTASTIC. It's cheap and effective. Yes it smells like pickles for a few minutes but it goes away.0

Is it only a Canadian thing? I guess I just figured everyone did it but I am Canadian soooo....0 -
Also, a natural way to unclog a sink (and a preventative measure against clogs): put one part baking soda into the drain. Add two parts vinegar (the cheap 'white' vinegar is fine) and chase that down with 4 parts boiling water. Usually 1/2-cup baking soda, 1 cup vinegar, 2 cups water is fine, but larger drains may need more.0

Losing weight does not mean you have to punish yourself with yucky crap.
Just keep to your calorie limit with the foods you prefer.2 -
No but it's good with fries.0

It's great for dyeing eggs and de-scaling my coffee maker.0

No. But it’s good for attracting fruit flies.1

Drinking vinegar is a great way to take the enamel off your teeth.1

Mmm... I could really go for some home fries with vinegar.0

Its somewhat common in parts of the US. I grew up with them when i was at the shore in Jersey or Maryland.0 -
I think this article does a good job of outlining why people have continued to believe it's helpful and what the research actually suggests you do with the vinegar. I think it takes some science literacy to look at the raw papers, but i like that there is a link to them if you want to read for yourself.

I don't have a dog in the race, but wanted to give some sources if you want to look into it further. In any event, good luck with your efforts!1 -

We used to have salt and vinegar hot chips in Australia in the 80s. Not sure if anyone still does here.
Mmmm, now I want some.

I'm currently sick with shingles, which is really unpleasant. But I had a good (if painful) laugh yesterday - while looking at YouTube videos about shingles, I saw several titled "cure your shingles with ACV". I can't even read about my illness without some ACV woo!1

It would help me more to drink 16 oz of vinegar right after a meal... bc I would puke up all the food I ate before I got any of the calories...
In seriousness, CICO helps with weight loss, not vinegar (ACV or any other type). Everyone wants a magic bullet, but science hasn't found one yet and probably never will.0 -
