While research supports some health claims around the popular drink, other studies show it can cause more harm than good.
, a man swirls a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a cup of water, drinks it and eats two slices of pizza. Then, he tests his blood sugar. “These are the best results of all,” he says, showing a much lower spike on a blood sugar graph than when he ate the pizza without the vinegar.
Social media proponents often recommend using unpasteurised and unfiltered versions, which contain a haze of bacteria and undigested carbohydrates called “the mother,” says Dr Chris Damman, an associate professor of gastroenterology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. But there’s no evidence that these “raw” apple cider vinegars are healthier than regular ones, he says.
Given the lack of robust data and the short time frames of the studies, Beth Czerwony, a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic, says that she did not recommend that her patients use apple cider vinegar for weight loss. “I believe them,” she says. But, she noted, “hundreds of other patients with horrible reflux” have said that vinegar worsened their symptoms.People who use vinegar to treat reflux, which is commonly caused by stomach acid escaping into the esophagus, say that the acid from the vinegar prompts the stomach to produce less acid, Ahuja says. But, he adds, there’s no supportive data, and “mechanistically, it doesn’t make sense” that adding acid to the stomach will somehow help to control it.
