It's great in salad dressing.

It has no effect on high cholsterol or body weight.

Eat less, exercise more!

My doctor recommended it to me, but I didn't notice any change.

I was going to post the same thread malna did and I think it answers your questions. It would seem that the taste 'might' be improved but the appearance would suffer. And yes you might as well strain the mother because the processing is going to kill it anyway. As for subbing regular Heinz apple cider vinegar in Dilly Beans, yes I do so as I much prefer its flavor over white. We use cider vinegar rather than white in most all our pickling recipes. Dave

If you spray vinegar as a foliar spray on the leaves of plants in full sun, most of them will die. Some more hardy plants, English ivy for example, will not be affected. Some weaker weeds will turn black, turn crispy, and collapse to dust, all in 30 minutes when sprayed with vinegar. When you spray in the shade or on a cloudy day, those same plants do not seem to be affected by the vinegar. If you spray it indiscriminately on weeds in your lawn, the overspray will kill the adjacent grass. I have made a shield for the grass out of shirt cardboard. I drew a line down the middle of the cardboard and a circle in the middle. Then cut the cardboard along the line and cut out the circle. When you put the two pieces of cardboard together with the weed in the hole, you can spray the weed without spraying the grass. You can sometimes find horticultural vinegar at garden or feed stores. It comes in at 20% acidity whereas household vinegar is 5%. The 20% stuff must be handled with care. Breathing it is not so much a problem because with one whiff you want to leave it alone. The worst problem is getting it in your eyes. It will blind you for weeks or months until your eyes heal. Wear protection and be careful not to splash it near your face or even on your hands (you might wipe it into your eyes). Apple cider vinegar is vinegar. Spray it at full strength in full sun. On the other hand, vinegar is a carbohydrate and as such is food for bacteria. When vinegar gets into the soil, nothing seems to happen. It would be interesting to see some research on what happens to the soil microbes when vinegar hits the soil.

My vet explained that my cat's condition was the result of crystals forming in the urine, which can partially or completely block the flow of urine, and also abrade the inside of the ureter and/or urethra. At least that's my understanding of it. I can assure you that if the condition didn't clear up fast, I'm fully prepared to seek professional service again, and no, I wouldn't let a UTI go unchecked. The ACV was worth a shot, and seemed to work well. Like a lot of people, if I can avoid an unnecessary expense, I will. If that expense is unavoidable, there's no question I'd go right back to my vet. The condition wasn't nearly 'life or death', and the alternative was worth a shot. "a series of expensive treatments and checkups..." ....I've also learned that the advice of professionals isn't law, and can, or should, be questioned. There are more than a few personal experiences that come to mind which I won't go into. Suffice it to say, I don't assume that the professionals have all the answers. --Rr

Hey Alisande...Since you're interested in genealogy, I contributed heavily to the current Paul & Patricia Bragg Wikipedia sites because their original back-ground stories they fed the public were pure BS, & hardly "encyclopedic". It became like a page-twisting soap opera. BTW, Clint Eastwood, born 1930, was a high school buddy of Patricia Bragg's brother, and I found that he & his family rented a modest home just a few blocks from my long-term current home during the 1940 Federal Census, and would have likely attended the grammar school just around the corner from us. I'll have to mention that fact to somebody at the school sometime if they weren't aware. We use only wine vinegar here. and never for medicinal purposes.

I take it daily for my stomach problems and haven't noticed much weight loss and have no idea if it affects cholesterol. It has helped all sorts of other things so I will continue to take it forever. It is so much more effective than any acid reflux pill, and I have taken them all.

trianglejohn, how much do you take and when? I also have acid reflux and would like to find something to take other than pills.

I "slurp" about a half a capfull right before I brush my teeth and go to bed. I assume that is like a teaspoon. For some reason the harsh taste bothers me less if I slurp it with lots of bubbles of air instead of just drinking it. Some people pour it onto a piece of bread and eat the bread.

I like vinegar. I eat lots of pickles and olives. But straight apple cider vinegar is still very harsh tasting to me. I have posted advice about taking it on various threads here in the health forum so you might wanna dig through the old posts to read more or just google it and read the more scientific stuff out there. The main thing is that in the beginning you will feel awful immediately after you drink it. You will be convinced that you have just poisoned yourself - it is truly awful. But in a few minutes all the symptoms die down and you will notice that for the first time that day your acid levels feel normal and that the pains in your chest are gone.

I purchased it today and mixed 2 tablespoons in 8 ozs. of water. The taste didn't really bother me that much and I didn't feel bad after taking it.. I used Bragg Raw-Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the 'Monther". It contains no preservatives. Did I purchase the right one?

I took it about 1/2 hour ago but my heartburn came back when I ate something just now. Shouldn't it have been gone?

What mine seems to do is help whatever is in my stomach move on into the intestines. I've only taken it after I've eaten. I imagine if your heartburn came back you would have to take it again.

I just use regular cheap grocery store apple cider vinegar and I drink it straight. I am afraid to mix it with anything because my stomach is already full and any additional liquid would just push more acid up into my chest.

After I've slurpped it, it's as if all the food in my stomach is gone. The top of my stomach might tingle a little but the weird pains that I normally get from acid reflux are gone. My esophagus, throat and chest all feel normal.

If you want to solve high cholesterol, check the fat content of EVERYTHING you buy, and I mean everything. If there is more than 6g of fat per 100g, forget it! This includes many muesli and health food bars! Only 1 t of fat in any cooking (add water to fry instead), only use low fat cheese, and cut out all sweet drinks. You will note the results immediately! I lost 10kg!! No nuts !! Yes cider vinegar or any vinegar is an excellent replacement for slad dressing..with some lemon pepper or seasoned salt :) And I use vegie salt as a low salt alternative.

It may or may not help with cholesterol, but I have definitely felt it curb my appetite. If I drink a small glass of water with about two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, I can not eat as much as I would regularly.

I am also convinced that it helps your digestive system work better.

I've been so happy with the results I started a blog that details the many uses of ACV - www.drinkapplecidervinegar.com
