Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hi folks: No abstract available here but it seems to say that cider vinegar in excess is dangerous (by definition 'in excess' is always undesirable!): " Hypokalemia, Hyperreninemia and Osteoporosis in a Patient Ingesting Large Amounts of Cider Vinegar Karl Lhotta, Günther Höfle, Rudolf Gasser, Gerd Finkenstedt Department of Internal Medicine, Innsbruck University Hospital, Innsbruck, Austria Sorry, there is no abstract. Read the first few lines of the text instead! Regular ingestion of cider vinegar is becoming an increasingly popular habit in Austria and Germany. Cider vinegar is described as a prophylaxis and cure for almost any disease or complaint. Doses from one teaspoon to six soupspoons per day have been recommended. A local bookshop offered nine different specialist books on the benefits of cider vinegar. Here we describe the case of a woman, in whom chronic ingestion of excessive amounts of cider vinegar caused serious health problems.
