have there been any studies proving the benefits of apple cider vinegar?

Question

plz include your sources too, and none from the retailers of apple cider vinegar either

Answer 1

Probably not. There's no financial benefit from doing a good, controlled study.

Answer 2

According to the results of a study, two tablespoons of vinegar taken prior to eating dramatically reduced insulin and glucose spikes in the blood that occur after meals. In people with type 2 diabetes, these spikes can cause major complications, including heart disease.

Vinegar's effects were comparable to those from antidiabetes drugs like metformin, researchers said. A follow-up study geared at testing vinegar's long-term effects also found that taking vinegar yielded a pleasant side effect: moderate weight loss. In the four-week study, half of participants took a two-tablespoon dose of vinegar prior to each of two meals daily, while the other half were told to avoid vinegar.

Participants taking the vinegar lost an average of two pounds over the four-week period, while weight remained constant in the non-vinegar group. And some participants taking vinegar lost up to four pounds.

Answer 3

Dr. Angus Peters ( University of Edinburgh )
Did a study of the effects of apple vinegar and honey to reduce arthritis pain.

Dr. Raymond Fish ( London ) did a study on the effects of Garlic and Honey as a fat destroyer and weight reducer.

I know of no other in dept studies, other then those of Natural Healers or Holistic Healers. But these are not controlled studies as per above. I know of no studies just on Apple Vinegar alone.

I use it quite often as a wound cleanser and for insect stings.
Good luck with your research.

Many year ago, Dr Jarvis wrote a book about curing everything w/ apple cider vinegar and honey. Look for that book. Plus check Adele Davis's books. She was a nutritionist.

Answer 6

I think it depends on your bloodtype because I have tried it before for my stomach, and it made me feel worse. But, there is books out there on how good it is for you. According to the bloodtype book that I read vinegar is not good for blood type A and thats what I am. So, there might be some truth to it. Just depends.
