Is Apple Cider Vinegar a Miracle Food? - Science Driven Nutrition

Is Apple Cider Vinegar a Miracle Food  – What is the Evidence? 

Vinegar can be made from nearly any fermentable carbohydrate source, including apples.  

To make vinegar, yeast ferment sugars into alcohol which is then converted into acetic acid by bacteria.  

Blood Sugar

 

This is a claim that has been investigated.  Studies in rodents have found that both vinegar [2] and apple cider vinegar [3] have positive effects on blood glucose control.

 

In humans, consumption of vinegar prior to a carbohydrate containing meal has been shown to reduce blood glucose response by approximately 20-30 percent [4, 5].  However, it should be noted that total area under the curve for blood glucose 2hrs after a meal was not different between a group that consumed vinegar and one that did not [6].What this means is that while vinegar consumption reduces the initial increase in blood glucose, it does not prevent glucose absorption and instead delays it. 

 

Indeed, vinegar consumption has not been shown to interfere with carbohydrate absorption [7].  Instead, consumption of apple cider vinegar [8] or regular vinegar (most often made from rice) [9] has been shown to reduce gastric emptying rate.
