![]() ![]() In a small study of 5 otherwise healthy people, vinegar consumption reduced the individual’s blood sugar by 31.4% after eating 50 grams of white bread. ![]() Unfortunately, white bread is nasty for our blood sugar levels. This is a staple in most households and is consumed by the tonne. One of the most common foods eaten in the Western World is white bread. The way they tested this in the study was very interesting. In another small study, acetic acid (the acid found in apple cider vinegar) was found to be beneficial on blood sugar levels. And, when insulin’s function is improved, blood sugar levels are reduced, thus tempering the toxic effects of elevated blood sugar levels. What this means is that insulin’s functions were improved when people were consuming apple cider vinegar. Scientists took two groups of individuals and gave one group apple cider vinegar and the other group a placebo what they found that apple cider vinegar improved insulin sensitivity. This is the only option for the body to drive blood sugar levels down. The only response at this point, the body has to do is to pump out more and more insulin further. As the insulin in the body becomes less sensitive (the insulin fails to drive down blood sugar levels effectively), the blood sugar levels begin to rise. ‘Insulin resistance’ affects millions of individuals worldwide. A recent study has confirmed that apple cider vinegar kills these bad guys. Even at lower doses, apple cider vinegar caused an inhibition in the growth of these potentially dangerous microbes. And those three microbes are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. Apple cider vinegar kills probably the top 3 microbes that cause humans grief. One of the premier health attributes of apple cider vinegar is its ability to kill bad bugs. There are many health benefits attributed to apple cider vinegar. This acetic acid is the acid you typically find in vinegar and the level of acetic acid found in apple cider vinegar is at the same concentration as the acid level of standard vinegar (5-6%). Interestingly, this is the same acid that is made in your colon from soluble fibers. You then need to add a bacterium to this alcoholic drink to turn the alcohol into an organic acid called acetic acid. The product is then fermented and then becomes an alcoholic. So, let us take a closer look at this possible beneficial and positively ill tasting health drink.Īpple cider vinegar is made from crushed apples when this pulp is exposed to yeast. It is even sold in capsules, which is a testament to its longevity and of course, it's health benefits. It has been around for many years and refuses to die out from shops with a hardcore group of supporters gunning for the product to stay and swear by its health benefits.
