| What is the truth about apple cider vinegar?
Posted: 10/9/2009 6:27:07 PM | I read it is supposed to have numerous health benefits. So I gave it a shot. I took one tablespoon with some water, and it felt like it was burning my stomach. I thought "that can't be good". I am more than skeptical about trying it again. In fact, it must be a joke. Does anyone use apple cider vinegar on a regular basis? What has it done for you?
P.S. I placed that S*#t in the trash. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 8:35:13 PM | | hi... the people that I study from and trust say no to vinegar because it stops digestion and also because of its high acid content... I read that cider is made from poor quality apples that are mostly spoiled so if it starts out bad I am not sure if it can turn out good... one day we will have the Complete Truth but until then we are wise to study from many sources and to listen to our own inner Voice... blessings for health | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 10:59:40 PM | It helps balance the body's acid/alkaline balance. go to braggs.com to learn more
All you can really learn from a web site is some ones opinion. Good starting point but thats about it.
If you really want to know you must try it for yourself with an open mind and no expectations and then and only then can you objectively make a decision or at least you think you can.
Because then you must realize that it is impossible for you to come to an objective opinion due to the fact that your opinion of your self is for the most part bias, so then you must seek clinical proof and then let the data decide. | |

Julius Caesar made sure his army had plenty of it. It was so highly valued in ancient Rome that it was used as a form of currency. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 9:21:29 PM | | I have used it for dealing with my sinus infections. I'm not sure about the weight loss claims. But as far as my sinus issues go, it has been effective in giving me relief. I will either mix it with water and heat it in the microwave, and inhale the fumes, or unfortunately I will drink it. The acidic nature of acv purportedly kills the bacteria in the sinus system. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 9:35:05 AM | vinegar "stops digestion"? link?
googling for "vinegar digestion" brings up many hits on vinegar aiding digestion and facilitating nutrient bio-availability.
I gave up trying to find one hit that said vinegar was bad for digestion.
acetic and citric acids are metabolized to alkaline. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 11:54:10 AM | Doing a search for "benefits of apple cider vinegar" will provide you with a plethora of hits.
With that said, I've been using ACV for a few years now. I like the taste (although for some, the taste may be acquired) and put a couple of tablespoons on most of the dinners I consume.
Maybe try not ingesting it raw/straight, but instead spread it on meals (it's great on potatoes and steamed veggies, in my opinion). Very tasty indeed. :-) | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 1:34:02 PM | a great way to use ACV is in a vinaigrette,
ACV + cold-pressed virgin olive + whole grain mustard (not French's fake stuff) + coarse black pepper + fresh garlic + herbs de provence or italian herbs. proportions to suit. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 2:00:07 PM | hi^^^ did you know that black pepper is an irritant that harms the delicate lining of the intestinal tract??.. another point from Natural Hygiene.... my point for naming my sources should have included the fact that different sources are saying the same things about vinegar products... those acids do turn alkaline when they are raw and not femented or cooked... here is a piece from Ellen G White.. Ellen White is known for her contributions to matters of health and nutrition and recently the medical world is seeing that her works are proving to be correct and a hundred yrs b4 her time... blessings
There is danger to health in the use of even sweet cider as ordinarily produced. If people could see what the microscope reveals in regard to the cider they buy, few would be willing to drink it. Often those who manufacture cider for the market are not careful as to the condition of the fruit used, and the juice of wormy and decayed apples is expressed. Those who would not think of using the poisonous, rotten apples in any other way, will drink the cider made from them, and call it a luxury; but the microscope shows that even when fresh from the press, this pleasant beverage is wholly unfit for use. {TSDF 16.3}
The salads are prepared with oil and vinegar, fermentation takes place in the stomach, and the food does not digest, but decays or putrefies. As a consequence the blood is not nourished, but becomes filled with impurities, and liver and kidney difficulty appear. Heart disturbances, inflammation, and many evils are the result of such kind of treatment..

Posted: 10/12/2009 7:07:15 PM | "did you know that black pepper is an irritant that harms the delicate lining of the intestinal tract"
did you know that black pepper contains piperine which greatly increases the bio-availability of many nutrients?
black pepper, and peppers of all types, have been eaten by billions of people for 1000s of years. But some modern food scientist says otherwise? GMAFB
Capsaicin from peppers is an anti-inflammatory, an analgesic, and anti-cancer phyto-chemical. It is proposed as one explanation why tropical countries that consume great quantities lof peppers have, across the board, lower cancer rates than the cancer-ridden USA. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 8:38:41 PM | hi... black pepper is a spice... peppers are not...black pepper is completely unrelated to peppers...in many cases the 2 were confused and so were the benefits.. I agree about peppers being good and I disagree that black pepper is good.. people with ulcers and surgery are taken off of pepper due to its iritating effects, black pepper has carcinogetic properties... black pepper originated in India, google the aliments in this culture and note that stomach and intestinal issues are prevalent.......
... green tea blocks the absorption of iron

Posted: 10/14/2009 11:40:36 PM | I've used it for a couple of years and have had great results. It helps with heartburn, digestion (when you have eaten meats mostly), increases energy, helps with sore throats, and many other things that I've not needed it for, but that you can google. Or as someone suggested visit Bragg's website.
You have to use the raw ACV with 'the Mother'. I put a glug into my big container of water and drink all day. It definitely helps w/ allergies/sore throats almost immediately. | |

Maybe I can help since I was taught about the same stuff as a child...
Ellen White was one of the founders of Seventh-Day Adventists and thought to be a modern day prophet (among adventists anyway). Among other things she taught a strong health message even going so far as to say that drinking tea or coffee (in some SDA streams this has been extended to include ANY caffeine containing beverage) is a SIN.
About pepper she said "Mustard, pepper, spices, pickles, and other things of a like character, irritate the stomach and make the blood feverish and impure." (http://www.ellenwhiteexposed.com/egw49.htm) | |
