Apple Cider Vinegar is an anti-bacterial
A 2017 study looked at the effects of apple cider vinegar against two common harmful bacteria, E. coli and S. aureus, and the yeast infection C. albicans. They concluded that “ACV has multiple antimicrobial properties with clinical therapeutic effects.”
However, further research is needed.
Is Apple Cider Vinegar a “supplement” for weight loss?
A common use of apple cider vinegar is weight loss. Some people believe that ACV suppresses appetite and makes you feel full faster because it slows stomach emptying.
One study involved 175 obese Japanese adults. The researchers found that “body weight, BMI, visceral fat (abdominal fat), waist circumference, and serum triglyceride levels were significantly lower in both vinegar groups than in the placebo group.” However, weight loss was minimal – 2-4 pounds over 12 weeks.
