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

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.
