The benefits of apple cider vinegar

One that is claimed is that it eliminates indigestion. That seems backwards at first. Vinegar is afterall an acid. But this guy says it is too LITTLE acid that causes indigestion. I pretty much take a Pepcid AC indigestion relief pill every day. I'm going to try this tablespoon of vinegar method. If it works I just saved myself a fortune in future anti-acid purchases. If it doesn't. Stryder can move this thread to Junk Science. lol!

My brother says it has done a lot for him.  I'm leery of it because unless some molecular component of the acid is providing a nutrient, I'm not sure what is going on other than the drop in PH introduced into the body is causing a reaction, or counter-reaction, like enhancing mineral absdorption from food in the digestive tract.  Based on something like that happening, it would fall into the drug category in my view, and I generally avoid drugs, because a way to define drug is a substance that interferes with normal body function to promote the body doing something else sought after, which is OK in the case of treating diseases.  So if I'm not particularly sick, I want to avoid things like that.

It can also help lower blood sugar levels for some people. I say "some" because I've only personally encountered a couple of Type II diabetics that use it (in addition to it being effective for them).

There are supposed studies that tentatively support this as well, but both pharmaceutrical and nutriceutical research has become about as reliable, accurate, unbiased, and methodologically proper these days as political campaign ads. Either that or nature took up nominalism or some subset of PoMo during the latter 20th century; and dependable, long-term generalizations can no longer be abstracted from carrying out tests on small and large herds of human particulars gathered up into the medical cattle pens.
