Apple Cider Vinegar: Separating Hype from Health
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a folk remedy that has gained immense popularity. The main active component is acetic acid. Scientific evidence suggests that ACV may have modest benefits for health. Some studies indicate that taking ACV with a high-carb meal can improve insulin sensitivity and lower the post-meal blood sugar response. It may also promote a feeling of fullness, which can help with weight management. However, many of the more extravagant claims are not well-supported by science. It's important to dilute ACV in water before consuming to protect tooth enamel and the esophagus.
