I remember as a child seeing my grandparents drinking apple cider vinegar mixed with honey. I also remember it being the most foul tasting stuff ever invented.
My advice would be to be 100% sure it actually does something beneficial for you before drinking this stuff found in the devil's pantry.

I drink it all the time. It's been proven through various test trials to make folks who drink a tablespoon (or two...can't remember) before each meal.
It also has malic acid in it which is great for pulling metals such as aluminum out of the body. It is also beneficial for fungal growth etc...bottom line...it is healthy for you to have it regularly.

I wouldn't drink it undiluted...especially if you have a sensitive mouth and throat...it is highly acidic and ends up burning my throat...As far as the gastric reactions...it depends what you are talking about...it does tend to help people with heartburn as it fools the body to produce less acid ....but if you have issues like ulcers etc...it may be irritating.

Actually its not quite a wives tale...that is the controversy with any natural supplement/tonic/food. I wish I can find and post that trial which wanted to test that very same wives tale and it shows that it is true. Anyhow, most tales are derived from some truth...if we were to believe all the junk that the pharmas want.....then nothing natural is useful and drugs are the way to go for everything. Afterall, according to the FDA ...only drugs can cure disease.

ORGANIC natural Apple Cider Vinegar has a vast array of health benefits. You have to use the UNPROCESSED, UNFILTERED NATURAL ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR which is light brown in colour, cloudy with little 'floaty bits' in it. As with all foods, once they are processed they lose the majority of natural enzymes, vitamins, minerals etc..
This vinegar contains vital enzymes, vitamins and minerals such as beta-carotene, pectin, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, chlorine, sulphur, AND iron.
The Pectin is a natural soluble dietary fibre (carbohydrate) found in plant cells which acts as a detoxicant, as a regulator and protectant of the gastrointestinal tract. As you probably know good carbohydrates help to rid the body of bad cholesterol and regulate blood pressure.
But the main reason Apple Cider Vinegar is a brilliant natural healing food, is that although its pH level is extremely acidic, once ingested, creates an ALKALINE environment in the body.
As most of what we eat today is super processed/fried/genetically modified, most of our bodies are HIGHLY ACIDIC, which is a breeding ground for disease.
If your body is acidic, disease can flourish as the body is forced to borrow minerals-including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acid and safely remove it from the body. (putting organs etc under stress)
If the body is ALKALINE, it is in balance and can fight off germs and ailments such as bladder and kidney conditions, osteoporosis, brittle bones, joint pains, aching muscles, low energy and chronic fatigue, and slow digestion. In saying that, if the body is TOO alkaline it can cause health problems too.
SIMPLE; balanced diet.. ie MORE not less fresh fruit and veg (raw or slightly cooked)
I could go on and on... some people just dont understand that food is life, we are what we eat, etc etc.. our bodies are INCREDIBLE instruments that are designed to nourish, energise, protect and heal themselves.
SO, YES take your Organic apple cider vinegar every morning before food. Take 1 tablespoon with UNPROCESSED honey and warm water - like a cup of tea.. it has an incredible effect on your digestive process. You'll notice a differerence in your energy levels and general well being in a couple of weeks. BLAH BLAH BLAH.. hope this helped
