Apple cider vinegar contains 5% acetic acid and much smaller amounts of malic acid, lactic acid, and various amino acids. They give apple cider vinegar its antiseptic property, which helps deter the growth of unwanted bacteria and yeasts in the digestive track.By taking a little apple cider vinegar before a meal, you can increase stomach acidity and thereby improve digestion and nutrient uptake.
Some of the vitamins, amino acids, and bioflavonoids found in apples and apple cider vinegar are antioxidants, which help prevent cancer and protect the body against damage caused by exposure to chemical toxins.
Apples and apple cider vinegar contain pectin, a water soluble fiber which can absorb water, fat, toxins, and cholesterol in the digestive tract and remove them from the body. Pectin also improves glucose metabolism and lowers blood pressure resulting in improved heart health. The insoluble fiber in apples aids digestion and elimination, promotes regularity, and contributes to bowel cleaning.

Some of the books I have read about candida albicans (yeast fungus) says that apple cider vinegar can help control yeast and prevent/cure overgrowth. Others are equivocal.
Check out the yeast link at www.hufa.org for more info. Some of the books I read are mentioned in the library link.

It's a good way to cleanse your body and an exellent way to shed a few pounds. My mom drinks apple cider vinegar, one cup with every meal and she loses1-2 pounds a week. I for one can't stand the taste. Good Luck.

I was just talking about this with my husband... heart health, and cholesterol. Also may have some disinfectant properties, meaning you may not get sick as much. If you don't like drinking it, they also have tabs. Good luck!! :)
