| My sister loaned me a booklet on apple cider vinegar and it's many
uses. (Apple Cider Vinegar by Bernard Ward). Here is what it has to
say about ACV and weight control:
Millions of yo-yo dieters can save themselves time and anxiety by
following this basic dieting tip of folk medicine:
Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey in
a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice. Drink the solution a
half-hour before each meal. The ACV treatment curbs your appetite,
regulates the thyroid and is said to make the pounds melt away.
Nearly all the doctors and nutritionists who prescribe apple cider
vinegar for preventing or treating various illnesses and disorders also
recommended ACV as an aid in weight loss and weight control. Drinking
a glass of water to which a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar has been
added is said to act as a natural appetite suppressant.
With this addition to the diet, the result is almost guaranteed since
you'll eat less and therefore lose more.
Another reason apple cider vinegar works in weight control is because
of its high potassium content. Potassium helps your body rid itself of
sodium. If you're not taking in enough potassium, sodium will make your
body retain fluids, which translates into extra inches and pounds.
However good apple cider vinegar may be for you, it won't make the
pounds disappear by themselves. Losing weight requires cooperation on
your part, mainly a reduced consumption of those foods that add inches
to the waistline - sweets, fats and junk foods.
The weight you lose with apple cider vinegar will come off gradually,
which, nutritionists say, is precisely the way it should be. Gradual
weight loss means long-term weight loss. Most people quickly regain
the pounds they lost on a crash diet.
Apple cider vinegar stimulates your metabolism and its potassium
content ensures that the proper chemical balance is present, so your
body burns more fat.
If you're new to the miracles of apple cider vinegar, you may be
confused with the wide variety you see on the grocer's shelf or in the
health food store. Dr. Jarvis recommends sticking with ACV made from
whole apple pulp, rather than that distilled from cores and peeling.
The pulp contains all the medicinal ingredients that make apple cider
vinegar such a potent healing agnet. The way to tell the difference is
in the price. ACV made from whole pulp is a little more expensive, but
well worth the extra pennies.

Boy, does time fly. I totally forgot that I had put this in
the notes file. Thank you all for your feedback. I got just
one more question before I start using the apple cider vinegar.
Just a little while ago they came out with some bacterial problems
with natural apple cider. I gather this apple cider vinegar is
not pasteurized? Also, has anyone tried this yet?
