Re: Vinegar & Blood Glucose Spikes

[Guest guest]

In our " Aids and Tips " file, we note that vinegar (or lemon juice) before a

meal can be used to help control hunger (perhaps because of what you say

below).

Hi :

Forty years ago a friend told me his father had dropped his weight

all the way from grossly obese back to normal on a regimen that

included cider vinegar. Of course this is near worthless

information, as 'single-case-anecdotal' 'evidence', but I made a

special note of it at the time and it is interesting to see more

support for it recently.

Vinegars are good because they contain few calories and can really

spice up the flavor of things - especially the balsamic vinegars.

But I have heard some rumblings recently to the effect that their

acid content may be a problem for osteoporosis.

Does anyone have good information about this?

Rodney.

Hi All,

Please see:

http://www.annecollins.com/lose_weight/cider-vinegar-diet.htm

Is Cider Vinegar Good for Weight Loss?

Taking cider vinegar pills or adding cider vinegar to your food makes

NO difference to weight control.

Despite the weight loss hype, cider vinegar has NO weight reduction

or fat loss benefits.

The Cider Vinegar Diet is an old fad diet and anyone who loses weight

on it does so ONLY because they are eating very few calories. It has

nothing to do with the weight loss effects of cider vinegar.
