Several human studies show that vinegar may increase feelings of fullness, which can lead to eating fewer calories and losing weight. In a study, taking vinegar with a high-carbohydrate meal resulted in increased feelings of fullness, leading subjects to eat 200 to 275 fewer calories throughout the day.[ii], [iii]
ACV may also be helpful in suppressing obesity-induced oxidative stress in animal models fed a diet high in unhealthy fats, mainly through facilitating antioxidant defense systems.[iv] It can also reduce the risk of obesity-related illnesses by lowering atherogenic risk.
Similar benefits have been seen in fruit vinegars like apple, pomegranate and prickly pear vinegars, helping prevent obesity and related cardiac complications due to their potent anti-inflammatory and anti-adiposity properties.[v]
2. Fights Harmful BacteriaVinegar has demonstrated strong anti-pathogen action, including fighting bacteria.[vi] Using organic acids as supplements has, in fact, been deemed safe and effective in eliminating harmful bacteria in the intestines.
A study probed the antimicrobial ability of ACV against pathogens including E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans.[vii] The results showed that the vinegar had multiple antibacterial potential, with the concentration of ACV required to inhibit microbial growth varying for each species. Follow-up research showed that ACV can also successfully eradicate methicillin-resistant bacteria.[viii]
3. Assists in Managing Diabetes and Blood Sugar LevelsConsuming apple cider vinegar may positively affect glycemic index and oxidative stress in Type 2 diabetics.[ix]
Among healthy subjects who ate a bread meal, supplementing with vinegar lowered glucose and insulin responses, as well as increased fullness.[x] "The results indicate an interesting potential of fermented and pickled products containing acetic acid," the researchers wrote. In a separate small study, subjects with diabetes reported that consuming 2 tablespoons of ACV before bedtime decreased their fasting blood sugar by 4% the next morning.[xi]
4. Helps Control Candida InfectionApple cider vinegar has exhibited antifungal properties, particularly against Candida (yeast) species in patients with denture stomatitis, a common inflammatory reaction to wearing dentures.[xii]
A 32-year-old woman with chronic vaginal candida infection[xiii] who failed to respond to other therapies also recovered with the application of ACV, which can be considered for patients who are unresponsive to conventional medical therapies for this condition.
5. Helps Improve Heart HealthAnimal studies suggest that ACV can optimize cholesterol and triglyceride levels, along with other common risk factors in heart disease.[xiv],[xv]
Vinegar may also have acute effects on some risk factors of atherosclerosis, with significant changes seen in LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol between low and high doses of vinegar.[xvi] Researchers pointed to "a probable protective value" for its use.
Cooking with vinegar or consuming it alone remain the best ways to incorporate ACV into your diet. You can also dilute vinegar with water and drink it as a beverage.
If you're wondering about the "right" amount of apple cider vinegar to take, a 2016 review stated that consuming a drink with 15 milliliters, or about 1 tablespoon, of vinegar every day was typically enough to see potential health benefits.[xvii] Experts also recommend getting organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar that retains the "mother," or a cloudy, murky appearance, for optimal health benefits.
