APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

What is apple cider vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy. People have used it for centuries in cooking and medicine.

Apple cider vinegar is apple juice that has been fermented twice. First, crushed apples are mixed with yeast, sugar or another carbohydrate. After a few weeks, natural bacteria and yeasts ferment the juice, changing the carbohydrates into alcohol. Then, a second fermentation process changes the alcohol into acetic acid — and now you have apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar is available filtered or unfiltered. Filtered apple cider is a translucent light brown color. Unfiltered and unpasteurized versions (such as Bragg’s apple cider vinegar) has dark, cloudy sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

Known as “mother of vinegar” or simply “mother,” this sediment consists mainly of acetic acid bacteria. Some say that unfiltered options are better because of this, so you may want to opt for one. Note, however, that these tend to be more costly than filtered vinegars.

HOW TO TAKE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Apple cider vinegar is available as a liquid and a supplement. There is no standard dose for the capsules and gummies, so follow the package directions and check with your healthcare provider.

When using vinegar, most suggested uses involve diluting apple cider vinegar before applying it to the body. However, the safety of different vinegar-to-water ratios isn’t known. A 1:10 ratio has been suggested when applying it directly to skin, but it should be weaker (or avoided entirely) on delicate or compromised skin.

Although a teaspoon to a tablespoon mixed into 8 ounces of water is often suggested as a reasonable amount for internal use, the safety of various doses isn’t known.

You can try to use it highly diluted, but the amount of acetic acid in commercial apple cider vinegar varies (unlike white vinegar, which is 5% acetic acid), making it impossible to be sure of the true strength of your mixture.

• Nausea and vomiting: Some people quite literally can’t stomach the taste and acidity of apple cider vinegar. If it makes you feel sick, stop using it
• Damage to teeth enamel

Should you use apple cider vinegar?

If you’re considering using apple cider vinegar for any health purpose, be sure to speak with your healthcare provider to see if it’s right for you, rather than self-treating and avoiding or delaying standard treatment. People with certain conditions (such as ulcers, hiatal hernia, Barrett’s esophagus, or low potassium) may need to avoid apple cider vinegar entirely. It is not recommended based on scientific data
