The benefits of vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar: Miraculous Medicine

The first thing we think about when the word vinegar is mentioned is its strong, effervescent, unpleasant taste. Remember what mom used to say; "Foods that taste bad are usually the best for you."

What Homeopathic Medical Research Says About Apple Cider Vinegar

First of all, when asked this question, we must qualify our answers. When choosing Apple Cider Vinegar, it must not be pasteurized, since this process will rid all its beneficial fermented contents. The other very important key is that it must not be processed in any way. The apples must have been grown "organically". When you buy apple cider vinegar that says "organic" on the bottle, you can identify its quality by simply tipping the bottle that has been sitting for a while on its side and you will see the murky cob-web-like particles and sediment rise and cloud the mixture. This is only the portion of the visible fermented apple contents. It will look like the bottom of a totally polluted stagnant pond. Some people are turned off by this, but it is the sign of its effectiveness. Food processors have obliged and have removed the ugly stuff by filtering the liquid before it reaches the shelves so now the customer is happy though far less healthy. This also tells us one thing: The customer(consumer) is always right. Consumers generally want things to look clean and in the process we get foods with most or all of the original "medicinal benefits" removed. We can demand "organic" or "processed" foods.



To maximize the benefits of apple cider vinegar, a general dosage of one teaspoon is usually recommended stirred into a 6 or 8 oz. glass of water. Most people cannot drink even this level of dilution of apple cider vinegar and usually add a tablespoon of honey, preferably organic. This dosage can be repeated at each meal, but most find this difficult. Many people find it much more palatable to pour some over their favorite salad.
