Well, strong cider is my favorite alcoholic drink, but it doesn't have the "mother". They filter that out to make it look clean. The mother is the shit... "In ACV particularly, “the mother” is a complex structure of beneficial acids that seem to have health benefits. Unrefined vinegars have a murky appearance and typically still contain the mother culture. Clear and pasteurized vinegars typically do not contain the mother culture and don’t carry the same benefits. Apple cider vinegar with the mother is simply unrefined, unpasteurized and unfiltered ACV. The “mother” is a colony of beneficial bacteria, similar to a Kombucha SCOBY, that helps create vinegar through a secondary fermentation process." https://wellnessmama.com/121495/apple-cider-vinegar-mother/
God...little quarrels like that ...make me glad I'm single, -- I hate bickering, however little or friendly it may be. Be single -- and you will sleep well, you won't need these Vinegar Apples potions.
I think this link belongs to the Superfood thread. It has nothing to do with ACV. And even if it did, why do we care what a nutjob guy thinks???
As I understand it, the only proven benefit of apple cider vinegar is that a couple of teaspoons a day may help improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetics. http://scienceblogs.com/usasciencef...by-festival-nifty-fifty-speaker-joe-schwarcz/ Beyond that, I think we might be getting into goji juice territory as it relates to claims. Just saying.
Broscience: ET posters helping each other out based on their personal experiences. Baron and I both had a positive experience with ACV helping with sleep, so there you go, 2 more data points for the stats...
Oh OK. It didn't matter though, because the exact same list exists on other, more credible sites. I just posted one of the first ones... Here WedMD: http://www.webmd.com/diet/obesity/features/apple-cider-vinegar-and-health#1
