What Really Happens When You Drink Apple Cider Vinegar?
An unexpected side effect
Everyone’s talking about the awesome health benefits of fermented food, but what if (like me) you’re too lazy to eat fermented foods?
Apple cider vinegar is supposed to provide many of the advantages of eating fermented foods; it’s said to contain live “good” bacteria and post-biotics, which are the good chemicals that bacteria make in fermented foods. Plus, it’s easier to buy and consume than genuine fermented foods.
A small study televised by Dr Michael Mosley on the BBC showed that people who took a daily dose of Apple Cider Vinegar got measurable health benefits. I'm a fan of Dr Mosley and was impressed by his results, so I thought I would try it myself to see what would happen.
The results were instant. And surprising.
Warning: I’m biased
Heads up, I’m biased. But not in the way you might imagine.
I’m not your usual health-food blogger. Actually, I’m not a health blogger at all. I am a food scientist and am naturally skeptical of most food-related health claims, especially ones that start with “this is a super-food”. Sorry (not sorry), but no food is a super-food.
