Apple Cider Vinegar

acv or any vinegar can cause your stomach to "flush" the acid out. it is my last ditch effort when my acid reflux. however, otherwise, you want to be careful adding to stomach with high acid, more acid. it could make things much much worse0

1 Large pot with a lid
4 cups thinly sliced purple cabbage (about 1 medium cabbage)
2 shredded Granny Smith apples
1 onion
1 TBSP brown sugar
Salt & pepper (just enough to tastes, 1/2 tsp each is enough)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
Cook the onions in the pot until they are tender. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on a low to medium heat, while covered, until cabbage is tender, mixing the ingredients periodically. Usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. (If you cook it longer, the cabbage just gets more tender. My daughter prefers it cooked almost 90 minutes).
Oooh - I do this recipe with balsamic vingear instead Freezes well too. Great witth Pork, Duck or Goose3 -

Apple Cider Vinegar is an acid. Adding more acid to your stomach isn't going to improve heartburn or acid reflux.
Actually my husband used it and he has acid reflux and it helps more than any medicine he’s tried. I’m just saying there’s some truth to it.
There are multiple causes for reflux. ACV would be horrible for me (high acid already) but a co-worker drinks lemonade to help her digestion (low stomach acid).1 -

Can you check to see if the ACV drowned flies lost more weight than the ones that didn't partake? Please report back...for science.
Their little dead bodies were rather bloated, so I'm assuming water weight gain from aspirating ACV, which would inappropriately skew the results, I'm afraid.6 -

Drowning in ACV is definitely not how I want to go out.5 -
ACV when raw has probiotic properties to it. If it's cooked, those properties are gone and it's just like any other vinegar. It won't help you lose weight but can help with getting healthy gut flora.
Bragg's is raw ACV.3 -

The apple cider vinegar will enhance the apple flavor. Goes especially well with roasted poultry and pork.0 -

Apple Cider Vinegar is an acid. Adding more acid to your stomach isn't going to improve heartburn or acid reflux.
It depends on the cause of the heartburn. Some people find it helps (low stomach acid + acid = good mix), and some find it makes it worse (too much stomach acid + more acid = belly fire from hell).1 -

So, don't inhale it. Thanks!2 -

I had an experience with "belly fire from hell" and it was awful. This was after reading that ACV+honey+water would eliminate acid reflux. It didn't and I didn't lose any weight either, dammit.1 -

Clearly, that was the sugar in the honey, not the ACV.1 -

I use it for all my pork BBQ, and love it as a tangy tinge in my BBQ sauce.
That was my first thought - dayum, that would be GOOD on some BBQ!1 -
I take ACV in pill form 2-3x a day, and it helps me with bloating, pain, arthritis, etc.
Even blood sugar, weight loss, none so far.3 -
You've got ACV?
I have one word: Collards.1 -
The current issue of Woman's World magazine has an article on ACV, and it says that it slims you down without dieting.
So it's not true?
No, I didn't buy it - I saw it when waiting in line at the grocery store1 -
Many of the alleged benefits of apple cider vinegar are bunk or poorly studied. That being said, I love the stuff, especially as a filler for salad dressing. In order to increase the amount of any vinegar-based dressing without increasing calories or (more importantly for me) sodium, mix in a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar0

Most of the article they post (especially if it's a week they put Dr. Oz on the cover) are untrue.1
