Anyone drink this regularly?  Just starting it.  Using Bragg's and local-ish raw honey.  I've heard good things...

What's the supposed benefits?

What's the supposed benefits?

alkalizing to the body, helps to reduce inflammation, may help with allergies (the honey, if it is raw and local), among others

[surfplusart]

Sounds like a cold remedy. Hot and sour soup has lots of vinegar (and hot pepper). Really clears you up. Tea with local honey, ginger, lemon.

Ive heard that raw local honey is supposed to help with allergies but Ive been trying it for years and not noticed any difference. It is delicious however so thats a good enough reason to eat it for me. As far as the vinegar thing for alkalizing the body, I think it's more important to just have a generally healthy diet. All the vinegar in the world wont undo the effects of pizza and beer.

I tried the unfiltered blah blah whatever vinegar one time for it's health benefits, i mixed a tablespoon or two with a glass of water.....felt like hydrochloric acid in my stomach, so harsh i never messed with it again.

Yeah, I was mostly thinking of the alkalizing thing and allergies.  also the prebiotic effect to feed those good microflora in the gut.  Mostly I'm kind of liking the taste and I feel like it wakes me up a bit.  Refreshing. 

I'm putting a tablespoon of ACV in about 16 oz of water with honey to taste.

Oh and I agree with Iron Mermaid... healthy diet is first.

Thanks for the input.

I've heard this from a lot of alternative types... my question for the science peeps is, how does drinking lots of acid (vinegar....acetic acid) make your bod more alkaline?
I dunno.... people are always looking for a magic bullet

Exactly. There are no quick fixes when it comes to health. I'm sick of all these health gurus preaching "miracle diets" and what not. Being healthy only requires a little common sense. I studied all these diets when I was in culinary school. It was sort of a holistic culinary school. What I learned was that all these diets (macro, ayurvedic, paleo, vegan, vegetarian etc) are all bullsh*t. Whole and natural is all you really need to follow. And maybe avoid gluten and dairy if you are sensitive to it.

So my diet of vinegar/honey/water and poached smelt ballsacks isn't going to cure me of everything? 

This sucks.

[brooklyniwa]

maybe it's a yin and yang thing? heh.
