Hi, question is in the title of the thread. Also what is it bad for in the body if there is anything its bad for?
It's just hype. There's nothing magical about apple cider vinegar. It is delicious, though.I thought apple cider vinegar was supposed to be good for you in general, or is that just hype?
Not sure I'd be eating vinegar daily, but I do often make a basic vinaigrette to save money on salad dressings. I also use it for cleaning.
The research is contradictory and inconclusive.There have been clinical trials in the last few years that indicate that apple cider vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels for type 2 diabetes. A teaspoon of unfiltered ACV, with the "mother," such as Bragg's, in a cup of water, or even some regular apple juice, does help.
There is also some evidence that unfiltered ACV with the mother works as an antioxidant.
ACV is very acidic, so it can be hard on your teeth. Drinking it in the morning before brushing your teeth would be a good time to do it.
CD
Not really.AC vinegar is good for digestion.
LOL, where did I say that?Oh My GG! are you saying Grandma was wrong!
What would be the reason for that?I've read in the past that you shouldn't brush your teeth for at least 20 minutes are eating/drinking any acidic foods. Just a myth or is there some truth to it?
It was a long time ago, but I think it was something about letting the amount of acid in your mouth reduce so that you weren't just brushing it around your teeth? Never was sure if it made any sense.What would be the reason for that?
That doesn't make sense to me.It was a long time ago, but I think it was something about letting the amount of acid in your mouth reduce so that you weren't just brushing it around your teeth? Never was sure if it made any sense.
Exactly! The combination of acid and friction increase the amount of wear significantly . Better off rinsing with water initially to dilute the acids.Brushing before drinking acidic drinks, or at least 30 minutes after is because acid weakens the enamel. Brushing while the enamel is weak removes more enamel.
Brushing immediately after meals? You may want to wait.
Brushing immediately after eating or drinking something acidic can damage the enamel layer of the tooth.www.cuimc.columbia.edu
