Apple Cider Vinegar in Weight Lost

Many websites are talking about Apple Cider Vinegar's help in Health, the most attention grabbing would be "It's the answer for weight loss".

First let's talk about
What is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV is a type of vinegar made from cider or apples. It is made from crushing apples to squeeze out the liquid. Sugar obtained from the process will be fermented into alcohol. The alcohol fermented further will turn into vinegar. Then this is now called Apple Cider Vinegar.

Effects of Apple Cider Vinegar?

A popular book by Dr. Javis in early 1950's made this ACV the cure for all ailments. It has been used as early as 3300 BC. in 400 BC, Hypocrates even advised his patients to use it as an antibiotic or as a supplement for general health.It is said to help people who are suffering from Diabetes, Acne, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Dandruff so on and so forth.


Many studies have been made in finding out whether the claims are true, but until now there is still no concrete evidence to prove these. In fact, the side effects are more evident and are rather alarming.

Known Side effects are:

1. scrape esophagus and other parts of the digestive tracks
2. damage of the tooth enamel
3. lower potassium level
4. lower bone mineral density

My conclusion whether it will help you lose weight? Well, errr, no it won't. There's no shortcut in being slimmer or healthier. The answer will always be the same in weight lost, which is live healthy through exercise and balance diet.
