BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Alternative Medicine Lets talk about Apple Cider Vinegar

Thank you for this great information on apple cider vinegar. Which brand do you recommend and where can i buy it?

Answer: You can find natural acv at your local Health Food store. There are a few you can choose from. I use Eden�s Organic. Bragg is also a popular brand of acv. When picking natural acv-it should have the �mother� visible a cob-web looking substances.

Victoria,

Is there any information on using Apple Cider Vinegar for Diabetes? Will appreciate any information on this.

Thank you,

Answer:DIABETES-2-3 teaspoons (acv) to 8 oz of water taken daily before meals, is said to have dietary fiber and other ingredients, which are beneficial in controlling blood glucose levels. The acids and enzymes promote better digestion and nutrient abortion, which is impaired in some diabetes, suffers.

This home remedy has been the subject of research and has shown that acv can help lower blood sugar levels.

Scientists in Sweden report that vinegar given with white bread reduces blood sugar and insulin. It also helps people feel fuller up to two hours later (European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Sept. 2005). Japanese researchers have found that vinegar can counteract the effect of white rice on blood sugar. And investigators at Arizona State University report that two tablespoons of vinegar before a starchy meal can significantly reduce the rise in blood glucose (Diabetes Care, Jan. 2004).

There is also research showing that one to six grams of cinnamon daily can lower cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar levels (Diabetes Care, Dec. 2003).

I love apple cider vinegar - it has so many benefits - if anyone would like to write a post in my blog - please do!

This topic got over 10,000 views! That has to be some kind of record.

I put apple cider vinegar into my pets water as someone recommended it for keeping fleas away. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats and they all drink it and they all have no fleas!

I use Eden Organic also for them. I use it for myself for salad dressing-a little apple cider vinegar, some olive oil and seasoning. If you go heavier on the ACV than the olive oil, it saves calories!

I use ACV for my pets also: 3 cats, 4 dogs and 4 birds. Added ACV to your pets drinking water, has shown to maintain the acid/alkaline balance of the digestive tract.

Restoring the body�s pH to the alkaline range is just as important to our pets health as it is ours. Nearly all chronic illness takes place in a body that has become acidic.

Many holistic Vets recommend a daily dosage of:
1 tsp for cats and small dogs (up to 14 lb)
2 tsp for medium dogs (15 to 34 lb)
1 tbsp for large dogs (35 to 84 lb)

Do not feed ACV to a pet that have irritation of the intestinal tract lining.

I use ACV for lots of things and love Edens also.

So this stuff does actually work. Hmm, you learn something everyday. I'll have to start using it.

Apple Cider Vinegar is awesome stuff. I only use Bragg's organic "with the mother" - much better. I use it before heavy meals to aid in digestion and keep blood sugars down (I'm diabetic) Also, I had some horrible stomach issues and my naturopath recommended taking this more often (I had been very lax in using it for awhile) Basically he said I had not enough acids to digest food properly (could have fooled me since I had terrible heartburn but you can get this also from not enough acids) - anyway, the ACV cured the stomach problem and now if it flares up, I know I need to use more. Good stuff. I didn't know about the teeth issue - I usually put it in a shot glass and now I will add water to it and drink water after.
