Over time, many things in history earn a reputation and sometimes achieve legendary status. These can be events, people, places, or items. Apple cider vinegar is no stranger to this phenomenon. While apple cider vinegar has many known properties, there are many things espoused that just are not true. We will detail some common myths about this solution, so you can be better informed when using it in the future.

Since we are promoting weight loss, detox, and digestive health with apple cider vinegar, this myth may seem a little confusing. However, while this elixir can contribute to weight loss, it is not some sort of be-all, end-all fix to being overweight. While adding recommended doses of apple cider vinegar during meals can be a major catalyst for healthy weight loss, it is not enough on its own to result in a significant weight reduction, at least, not in most cases. It should still be coupled with an overall healthy lifestyle.

Apple cider vinegar has been shown to stabilize blood glucose levels and prevent major spikes in blood sugar. Should you go ahead and throw out your insulin and other diabetes medications? Not so fast! While apple cider vinegar can be a contributing substance to help manage and avoid diabetes, there is no confirmation of it being a cure for diabetes.

While apple cider vinegar comes from apples, many of the nutrients become lost during the fermentation process. The nutrients include fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. Technically, there is potassium in the vinegar, but it is significantly less than what you will find in the fruit.

Just like with diabetes, while apple cider vinegar has properties which can have a positive impact on blood pressure, there is no research suggesting it directly lowers it. Once again, regular doses with an overall healthy lifestyle is what can help manage blood pressure. If needed, keep hold of the high blood pressure medications, as well as the diabetes medications.

As we go through the detox and weight loss plan in chapter 6, there will inevitably be other areas of our health that are positively affected. Many people believe cancer prevention is a result of regular apple cider vinegar intake. While some preliminary research shows a slowing of cancer cell growth, there is no evidence that apple cider vinegar is a cancer-fighting substance.

We have discussed some of these already, especially from taking too much of the solution. In chapter four, we will provide several reasons why you should not take apple cider vinegar with certain conditions. For now, just know that this is a completely false statement. Just like anything else, negative side effects are always a possibility.

When purchasing apple cider vinegar, people will often grab the first brand they see, or the cheapest available, without paying much attention to it. As long as it says apple cider vinegar, they figure it is just fine. This is not the case. The really clear looking apple cider vinegar solutions lose many of their valuable health benefits due to extensive processing and filtering methods. Go for the browner, murky-looking vinegar for better results.

While vinegar has a strong and distinct taste, it does not mean it can’t be appetizing. While this is certainly subjective, apple cider vinegar can complement many meals and drinks to help bring some extra flavor and tanginess. We recommend using it as an ingredient rather than trying to ingest it by itself. This will become more apparent when we discuss specific recipes. Give this drink a chance and you may be surprised.

When you do some research on apple cider vinegar, you will inevitably come across some negative articles. These are the ones debunking the powerful effects of the vinegar. Of course, much of the research is simply trying to walk back some of the overblown myths that have taken a life of their own. Much of this negativity has led people to believe there are no health benefits whatsoever to the ingestion of apple cider vinegar. This is also not the case. These are numerous health benefits associated with it, however, it should not be thought of as a magic potion that will solve all of your problems. Think of it as an addition to other healthy activities.

This is definitely not true. We will have some fun with this in the last chapter, so stay tuned. The properties of apple cider vinegar go beyond just ingesting it. It even goes beyond being for humans.

We hope to have debunked some common myths related to apple cider vinegar. There are actually several more, but these are some of the most common. When a myth begins to get a lot of traction, it can lead to people having feelings of invincibility. People have abruptly stopped taking critical medications because they believed they did not need them anymore. This has led to severe consequences and even death. We can certainly appreciate the qualities of apple cider vinegar, without making it grander than it actually is. We want to provide you substantive information that you can utilize. In order to do this, we must separate fact from fiction.
