does ACV actually do anything? I’ve taken a shot of the Bragg’s ACV every morning for the last year, and I eventually stopped because it was too strong on an empty stomach even after dilution. now I have ACV gummies and put a little bit of the Bragg’s in my green juices to mask the taste. however, I feel like it’s a total fad. I haven’t noticed any difference in terms of the benefits it says it has.
What benefits are you looking for?For weight loss- its a fad.There are studies showing it helps regulate blood sugar and minimize things like acid reflux. Its a great addition to a healthy diet but not magic
It should help with digestion, but definitely don’t take on an empty stomach and always dilute.
I’m not sure the effects are things we would see in an obvious way. Fermented foods, in general, are good for our gut health.
It may help with weight loss in an indirect way, by aiding in digestion but it doesn’t do anything to cause weight loss.
I use it to help with digestion because I have low stomach acid. It’s also been shown to help control insulin surges if taken just before eating, but only the liquid firm form was tested, and it should never be taken undiluted. I usually do 1 TBLS to 6-8oz of water. I don’t think there is any good evidence proving that it aids weight loss.
ACV contains 5% acetic acid. Typical consumption as a flavoring has little effect. Larger amounts can etch enamel, damage the esophagus and adversely effect nutrient absorption.
Human sensory systems have protective functions.
That’s why many hazardous substances don’t smell or taste good.
