Boost: Your levels of good cholesterol are improved by consuming apple cider vinegar for eight weeks

A spoonful or two of vinegar a day may boost your levels of good cholesterol.

Researchers believe that people who ­consume apple cider vinegar for eight weeks will have improved levels of good or HDL cholesterol compared with those given a placebo.

A clinical trial, currently underway in ­Minnesota in the U.S., has been looking at 120 people, half of whom have had the vinegar while the others are being given a placebo containing a 2âper cent balsamic vinegar solution in water.

Apple cider vinegar â a common kitchen remedy for arthritis and gout â has already been shown to lower blood sugar levels and reduce appetite.

A separate study based on animals with diabetes, has already shown that apple cider vinegar lowered levels of bad cholesterol and improved good cholesterol.

Itâs thought the vinegar speeds up the processing of fats.

I have run out of the Apple Cider Vinegar although I went through 2/3 of a gallon in about 2 weeks, but it didn't work out well with the Apple juice although it worked very well with the 100% pure Grape juice and then adding some of the Stevia so it takes much less to make it very sweet, I hope to get much more of it soon. I just love how it enriches the taste of pure grape juice although this is my experience.

I am going to get another gallon of Apple Cidar Vinegar asap since this will be good and I will get two gallons of grape juice, I found my blood sugar was better and it helped me walk better and longer at the SPAR which I am sure I talked about in the past. It helps process the fat in the tummy most of all.

well Vernon you don't do things by half when you go to the store
But a gallon of cider vinegar seems a bit excessive
I though it was taken by the spoonful rather than the pint, You don't want to strip out the stomach linning

The only grape juice i am partial to is called Wine, All the non alcoholic type I have seen Was loaded up with sugar.

Generally speaking the only use for vinegar in UK is on the fish & Chips
and I stopped eating that year ago

It was higher when I mixed it with Apple juice although the grape juice with it helped a lot. I don't use much considering it was for a gallon of water and Cider and it was for 4-6 gallons or more juice mixture. I will share more about this when I can, but I have lots of emails to work on first.

Vernon - what in the world are you buying gallons of juice for ? You shouldnt be drinking it and where do you store it? Apple cider vinegar only comes in a quart size bottle. And you only take 2 teaspoons at the most,

I do a teaspoon of it over my salads each time. A good way for me to get it in.

I buy two gallons of 100% pure grape juice and then one gallon of Apple Cider Vinegar, I mix the bottom part of the Grape Juice, add some of pure Stevita and then fill it with water and about one cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and it tastes very good to me and the grape juice tastes far sweeter than as is so I am not gulping down the sugar as it might seem although what some think is tart is very sweet when I mix with the grape juice although it is not nearly as yummo with Apple Juice, the Wally World brand is what I like to buy myself. I hope to get some of this in the next two weeks if at all possible. I store the grape juice in the fridge when I open it, one is the full strength and I put it into the other to add Stevita and the Vinegar and the other is for the one I pour out of so I hope this helps explains my mission possible, no, Peter Graves is not a part of this.
