Apple Cider Vinegar

[tamaris]

Believed to help lower blood sugars, as mentioned by a doctor. Is it best to take the vinegar and water or buy the capsules ? Anyone tested ?

I drank it and nearly lost my fillings.

Haha how so ?

[jennyjoan]

too bitter and acidic - I threw it out. I am bad enough with the teeth - as we say - "havent a bar in my grate". Hardly No teeth LOL

[tamaris]

That's why I thought capsules

My husband tried the liquid - ended up with chronic acid reflux. Stopped for a while and tried the capsules instead and had the acid reflux again. GP told him to stay off of them as do more harm than good. Better to alter your diet to lower blood sugars.

No quick fix to bring your sugars down, most of the research seems to be based around low calorie, low carb diets, intermittent fasting , and increasing exercise as I am currently finding out.

Mix it with water, tastes like a ‘shot’ otherwise.

Absolutely, mix it with water, then rinse your mouth afterwards. There are lots of benefits of drink Apple cider vinegar, but it is very acidic. Just as a side note, don't brush your teeth within a half hour of drinking coffee either, as that is also detrimental to the tooth enamel (apparently - wish i'd known that 20 years ago!)

The study which seemed to support the idea that consuming apple cider vinegar had participants drink two tablespoons of the stuff at bedtime, together with one ounce of cheese:

Absolutely Buenchico, I read that study also - although there was also evidence that just eating a small piece of protein (i.e the cheese) had a good effect lowering blood sugar in the morning on its own. I think ACV has numerous benefits - God knows my Mum had told me for 30 + years! (Only just putting it into practice!)
