Abbie Rumbach: The Confession That Blew My Daughter's Mind
Megan Fox usually gets in trouble with women and the press for saying dumb things about how she loves to fart. Now, health experts are the latest to drink the Megan haterade -- because The Douchebaguette is saying that drinking vinegar is a great way to lose weight.Yep, Megan has been quoted as saying that drinking vinegar "just cleanses out your system entirely," a claim that experts say is completely unfounded.
See, she doesn't really diet or exercise, but she claims that vinegar erases all the evils of her insatiable sweet tooth. Umm ... couldn't it be the fact that she's 23 and probably still has a killer metabolism? Or maybe that she reaps the benefits of fame that include catered meals and, likely, a chef?
Of course, Fox isn't the only person who believes in the health benefits of vinegar. Throughout history, folk medicine has made numerous claims about vinegar, particularly apple cider vinegar. In addition to weight-loss claims, some people say apple cider vinegar can treat diabetes, reduce blood cholesterol levels, and prevent diseases like cancer and osteoporosis.
Not so, says dietician Lucy Jones in a interview with Australia's Sun Herald. "The body, including the liver, is a well-oiled detoxing machine, which will not be improved by vinegar, whether it be organic, apple cider, unfiltered, or your bog-standard malt vinegar," she explains.

I actually use apple cider vinegar, unfiltered. I feel so much better having a glass of warm water with a tablespoon of it and some honey. It REALLY helps my allergies. No OTC med helped.
Of course, it hasn't helped me lose the 30 pounds I want to lose, but that isn't why I'm taking it. (I certainly wouldn't tell folks it is a cure-all for a sweet tooth. It works different in every body.) If Fox weren't so idiotic most of the time, I think more people would take her seriously on this point.

I certainly feel better after I drink apple cider vinegar after I eat a bunch of junk food. Anecdotal and not scientific evidence of course. I think more people should try it before saying it doesn't work.

I go real heavy with the Basalmic vinegar with my nightly salad. I don't drink it but I do ingest a couple of tablespoon fulls and it does clean you out!

Actually apple cider vinegar has helped me overcome diabetes because it has the ability to lower blood glucose levels, It also helps me for my arthritis and makes heartburn disappear.
I can only imagine the vinegar helps in weight loss because lower blood glucose levels will make you less hungry.

I lost weight before taking apple cider vinegar capsules. You take two before every meal or any time you eat with a glass of water. I lost about 15 pounds.

I read the book Cicer Vinegar written by Cyril Scott published in 1984 sites the many benifits of taking a tablespoon of Cider vinegar and tablespoon of honey in the morming and the evening. I have been doing this for years and I must say I feel it relieves heartburn and just makes me feel healthy. It makes sense that if you take the vinegar your body will produce alkaline that would sooth you heartburn. If you can find it read this book you may change your mind. I have used many of the remedies and they have worked for me.

I'm glad to see so much positive information about apple cider vinegar.
I first started using apple cider vinegar,while in Mexico. the mosquitoes are fierce there. All year round.I was getting for and 5 bites a day.The antiseptic sprays there offered not much relief. Something gave me the idea to try putting a little ACV ,to relieve the irritation. I rubbed some in and it stung. However the next second the stinging was gone and the swelling went away. The next day it itched a little. I added some more and it was gone for good.it was instant. mosquitoes bites are toxic. I figured if it worked for that,it would work for any infection. I try it , and i tell my friends and family they hate the smell but know its relieving power.
thanks for reading. GOOD APPLE ACID
.>>>>Tip- always use a straw if you are going to drink ACV. from what I understand it can take the enamel from your teeth over time.

I do apple cider enemas every other night. I can say for sure that it helps with my left eye irritation. It's incredible how the medical community says bad things about anything that isnt a drug or something from a big drug company. This works for me and I'm going to keep doing it no matter what anyone says.
