    In addition to what Ann wrote, there is some correlation with acetic acid (the acid in vinegar of all types, not just ACV) and very slight lowering of blood sugar. This is in the early stages and the current verdict is that there is some correlation but it needs further study to know if there is actual causation.

    Thanks - I was thinking some people were experimenting with it along those lines, but I couldn't remember the details. Not something I track, haven't really cared since I'm not IR or diabetic, and never have been even when obese AFAIK.

    No problem. It is also an old folk remedy for things like skin tags and warts. Put it on and cover with a waterproof/airproof bandage and the thinking is that the mild acid will slowly and safely burn off the tag or wart.

    To sell ACV products. No health benefit. 🙄

    For losing weight, none. Non pasteurized, it is a fermented food which has other benefits nutritionally speaking. I use it for many things from dressings to sauces for BBQ...but it doesn't do anything for weight management and I would never just drink it.

    Fermentation is a hobby of mine and I make all kinds of fermented foods in my crock. I'm pulling out a batch of Kimchi today in fact.

    See I'm one of the opposite side of things and it gave me heartburn and terrible acid reflux but everyone is different 🤷

    This. I personally don't drink it often because it smells like stinky feet to me, but my husband drinks it faithfully every single night to help fight heartburn and indigestion. He mixes it with water and honey.

    ...but according to the fittest woman in the world it works magic. And....you can have it in the form of gummies now. Hurry while supplies last!

    /sarc off.

    ACV is great in some recipes. I make my favorite salad dressing with a little bit of it.

    Yes, I have successfully used a paste of ACV and bentonite clay to remove "skin barnacles" (Seborrheic keratosis.) This takes a few applications over a period of days. People interested in this should due more research than just reading this post.
