Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is made by the fermentation of apple cider and tastes like vinegar but with an “apple” twist. It has emerged as a popular health tonic in recent years, praised for its numerous potential health benefits. It was even used by Hippocrates (“the father of medicine”) as a remedy for many ailments over two thousand years ago. ACV contains many vital minerals and trace elements, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sulfur, and copper, along with antioxidants like beta-carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C.
ACV supports the body’s natural detoxification process and promotes a healthy environment for good bacteria. One of its most well-known benefits is its potential in weight management. Research suggests that incorporating ACV into a healthy diet and lifestyle may increase feelings of fullness, reduce calorie intake, and support weight loss efforts. A randomized controlled trial published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health found that daily consumption of ACV for twelve weeks led to significant reductions in body weight and BMI. However, it’s important to note that some researchers have questioned the data quality of this study, and experts agree that ACV is not a magic bullet but a tool that may complement a healthy diet and exercise.
Moreover, ACV’s ability to improve insulin sensitivity may make it a promising option for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition. A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials found that ACV significantly reduced fasting blood sugar and HbA1c in type two diabetes patients. How can ACV help regulate your insulin? One theory is that acetic acid, its main active compound, might activate some of the digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates into sugar, thus slowing the absorption of sugar from a meal into your bloodstream. This gives your body more time to pull sugar out of your blood, preventing your sugar levels from spiking. Combine it with blackstrap molasses to relieve joint pain.
ACV’s high acidity and content of compounds like acetic acid contribute to its antimicrobial properties. Research has demonstrated that ACV exhibits good antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens including Streptococcus mutans, Enterococcus faecalis, and Candida albicans. Additionally, studies have shown ACV’s effectiveness against multidrug-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Some people use ACV topically to treat acne, soothe sunburns, or relieve scalp conditions like dandruff.
Furthermore, ACV is rich in antioxidants, including phenolic acids (gallic and chlorogenic acids) and flavonoids such as quercetin, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation by neutralizing free radicals and protecting cells from damage. Some studies suggest it may help lower total cholesterol and triglycerides, particularly in people with type two diabetes.
When incorporating ACV into your routine, it’s essential to do so in moderation. Due to its high acidity, undiluted ACV can be harsh on tooth enamel and the lining of the esophagus. To minimize the risk of side effects, dilute ACV with water before consuming it, and consider using a straw to protect your teeth. Additionally, always opt for raw, unfiltered ACV with the “mother,” a cloudy substance containing beneficial enzymes and bacteria.
In summary, ACV can be a valuable addition to a balanced and healthy lifestyle, offering many health perks for those who enjoy its tart and tangy flavor.
How do we make our own apple cider vinegar with the mother.
I use to use Braggs but company has been sold and is not a reliable product anymore
Thank you
The best known brand of apple cider vinegar has sold to a conglomerate. Already people are noticing in a big way how puny the quality has become. Have you any replacement recommendations?
Yes! I have found a small family owned organic ACV co. called Fairchilds.

Thank you. I did not know apple cider vinegar could wear down your tooth enamel. Now I know.
Hi Ty,
I have tried to watch many of your documentaries. My first was the 9 segments on Covid.
I was also THANKFUL for the info you and your Wife reported on, as well as the most important
info of NVIC.org. I have researched its content regarding the EXEMPTION regarding children’s vaccinations, which I understand are from 68 to 72. I am old school, so I only received 5, also from your report, I have found out that these were not needed as well, as they were falsified results. I have given your website, as well as NVIC’s, to many, especially for their children. I recently saw a follower on Instagram which showed the NEW CDC director stirring up emotions on preparing for the NEW plandemic and she is encouraging us to get the TENTH (10th) BOOSTER. I REFUSE to get any.
In this short read, you mention ACV. Which do you recommend? I had been taking BRAGGS for many years. However, since being purchased by Katty Perry, et..el., and Bill Gates? many on Instagram are WARRANTING that its contents are NO longer beneficial to us, as it is loaded with worms or parasites that many now see in that brand. I am not sure you are aware of this. You might want to check it out as many MIGHT think you are recommending that Brand.
THANKS for everything you and your lovely Wife, as well as your team, do to make us aware of many of the wrongs that have occurred, and still are, in our lives. I wish I could have the time to devote more to your subject matter, but at 74, and needing to work part-time is having more time. I am now of the premise that “EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARN FROM CHILDHOOD TILL NOW, HAS BEEN A TOTAL SHAM AND LIE”, and SADLY, it continues. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, for all the good you continue to do for the World. Thank you.
I’m not sure I trust Braggs apple cider vinegar anymore since it has new ownership what brand do you recommend?
Hello,
Have you ever heard of Apple Cider Vigegar being used to treat Acid Reflux? I have a hiatal hernia which puts me more at rist for acid reflux. Although, my chiropractor says that older people usually lack acid to disgest their food. He says you can get the same symtoms as you would from acid reflux, but actually you might not have enough acid to digest your food. I don’t know in my case being I have the hiatal hernia. The gastroenterologist has me on Pepcid and I don’t like taking these drugs. I still burnp a lot especially when laying down at night (even though I sleep on a wedge). So I am just wondering what you know about these problems and whether I should try Apple Cider Vinegar. My chiropractor told me that you can take pills of Apple Cider to protect your teeth, but I doubt that they have the “mother” or that they are organic. Thank you so much, Deanna.
Thanks for this article on ACV. I just read above where you suggest taking it with blackstrap molasses for joint health. Can you tell me more about this.
I enjoy reading all the info you and your wife share
Blessings (a fellow Christian)

I totally agree with you on taking ACV. I take it daily for its benefits and health maintenance. Is it safe for young children of 1+ years?
What do you think about taking pure Aloe Vera juice for health maintenance? What do you know about its health benefits? I also take it daily when I’m not taking ACV. Is it safe for young children of 1+ years?
