Does a daily spoonful help

READ THE ORIGINAL

What does the work in apple cider vinegar is acetic acid. It makes the stomach empty a little more slowly and starch digest a little more slowly, so at most it slightly flattens the blood-sugar spike after one high-carb meal. The chapter on why emptying and digestion slow down takes that speed bump apart.

Acetic acid is the same molecule as in kitchen white vinegar, and apple cider vinegar is not a cure-all. Its effects all happen in the stomach and small intestine: it does not burn fat, does not detox, and certainly does not make the body alkaline. Drunk undiluted, it can also damage your teeth.
