Apple Cider Vinegar
I've read a lot about the actual and possible benefits of apple cider vinegar. I drink 2 tablespoons in hot water when I am feeling bloated or my stomach feels a little upset. MyFitnessPal came out with a brief article discussing the claims versus reality of apple cider vinegar. Click on the link below to read the full article. I outline the claims they address below.
1. It's Good for Gut Flora - "...benefits only are gained if you ingest the raw stuff sold by all-natural producers... because pasteurization kills probiotic strains."
2. It Blocks Starch and Fat Absorption - "Scientific evidence shows only a very slight beneficial effect on non-pre-diabetic subjects."
3. It's a Detoxing Magic Bullet - "...the claim that apple cider vinegar cleanses the liver of “sludge” or toxins is more anecdotal than scientific."
