A quick google search, says it has polyphenols in it. I already mix ACV with my water, for it's hyper-tensive properties. But apparently red wine vinegar has polypenols that come from that red wine used to make it.
Apple cider vinegar Good for you yes or no and are two Table spoons a day enough Thanks.
Does it matter when you have ACV...first thing in the morning, before meals, after meals, before sleeping etc?
First question, do I drink them in the morning at the end of my fasting session OR do I drink them in the evening before going to bed? Second question, does drinking them break my IF?

I live in germany. Most pickles in a jar have 4-7g sugar / 100g. They taste great, but considering the weight of a pickle the sugar-content might become significant. For example, a medium sized jar is 600g (that's 24-42g of sugar) and...
