Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Ok, i have heard before that, if you drink vinigar that it will help break done fat or something like that. Now most people can't take the taste of it but i kinda like it and i can chug it (did it for friends before he he). Is it true about vinigar being beneficial? i can see how it would be but then i was worried about it hurting like my throat or stomache because of the acid in it (i'm not sure if stomache acid or vinigar is stronger). thanks for any info on this, also, it is not something i just picked out of the blue. a friend actually did tell me this
Vinigar?

Oh, and its not B.S. there are studies done that prove that vinegar can help improve insulin resistance and lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into skeletal muscle. So, by lowering insulin it can help your body burn fat. I'm not gonna post any research because its easy to find.cybadec said:

Most people take the apple cider vinegar mixed in a cup of water in the morning. THere are lots of people that swear by, but just as many that say it is bunk.

For: Amazing Apple Cider Vinegar
Vinegar has been around for over 10,000 years. There are eight types of vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar is the fermented juice of the apple. It is superior to other vinegars in terms of its medicinal and healing value. Naturally fermented vinegar is rich in vitamins, trace minerals and healthful enzymes and acids. Generations of families have used apple cider vinegar to help remedy a wide variety of ailments. It remains one of the most ancient and versatile medicinal mainstays the world has ever known. Today, apple cider vinegar is used as a natural remedy for many ailments. Some researchers believe that Arthritis is caused by a buildup of toxins in the joints. Apple cider vinegar helps eliminate toxins from the body and may offer relief from arthritic pain or slow its progression. Many digestive problems can be relieved with apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar helps increase the acidity of the stomach thereby aiding in digestion. It counteracts the effects of rich, greasy foods and helps break down fats and proteins. It can also inhibit the growth of unfriendly bacteria in the digestive tract. Apple cider vinegar can be applied directly to the skin to relieve the pain from burns, including sunburn as well as the pain and itch of bug bites and stings. Simply sponge the area for relief or soak it to avoid blistering, peeling and scabbing. Foot odor can be controlled by soaking feet in apple cider vinegar several times a week or on a daily basis to relieve the itching of athlete's foot. Apple cider vinegar burns calories, takes the edge off the appetite, gently detoxifies, absorbs fat and helps block fat formation thereby aiding in weight loss. As with any supplement, always purchase apple cider vinegar manufactured by a reputable company in order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the product. When purchasing liquid apple cider vinegar, look for pure, organic, aged, unfiltered varieties.
The number of Americans with type 2 diabetes is expected to increase by 50% in the next 25 years; hence, the prevention of type 2 diabetes is an important objective. Recent Large-scale trials (the Diabetes Prevention Program and STOP-NIDDM) have demonstrated that therapeutic agents used to improve insulin sensitivity in diabetes, metformin and acarbose, may also delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in high-risk populations. Interestingly, an early report showed that vinegar attenuated the glucose and insulin responses to a sucrose or starch load (1). In the present report, we assessed the effectiveness of vinegar in reducing postprandial glycemia and insulinemia in subjects with varying degrees of insulin sensitivity.
Our study included nondiabetic subjects who were either insulin sensitive (control subjects, n = 8) or insulin resistant (n = 11) and 10 subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects provided written informed consent and were not taking diabetes medications. Fasting subjects were randomly assigned to consume the vinegar (20 g apple cider vinegar, 40 g water, and 1 tsp saccharine) or placebo drink and, after a 2-min delay, the test meal, which was composed of a white bagel, butter, and orange juice (87 g total carbohydrates). The cross-over trial was conducted 1 week later. Blood samples were collected at lasting and 30 and 60 min postmeal for glucose and insulin analyses. Whole body insulin sensitivity during the 60-min postmeal interval was estimated using a composite score (2).
Fasting glucose concentrations were elevated ~55% in subjects with diabetes compared with the other subject groups (P < 0.01, Tukey's post hoc test), and fasting insulin concentrations were elevated 95-115% in subjects with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes compared with control subjects (P < 0.01). Compared with placebo, vinegar ingestion raised whole-body insulin sensitivity during the 60-min postmeal interval in insulin-resistant subjects (34%, P = 0.01, paired t test) and slightly improved this parameter in subjects with type 2 diabetes (19%, P = 0.07). Postprandial fluxes in insulin were significantly reduced by vinegar in control subjects, and postprandial fluxes in both glucose and insulin were significantly reduced in insulin resistant subjects (Fig. 1).
[FIGURE 1 OMITTED]
These data indicate that vinegar can significantly improve postprandial insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant subjects. Acetic acid has been shown to suppress disaccharidase activity (3) and to raise glucose-6-phosphate concentrations in skeletal muscle (4); thus, vinegar may possess physiological effects similar to acarbose or metformin. Further investigations to examine the efficacy of vinegar as an antidiabetic therapy are warranted.
