Apple Cider Vinegar's Anti-Sugar Effects

One of the oldest known medicines, apple cider vinegar, is an all-natural diabetes treatment.
Studies have revealed a way to possibly reduce the blood-spiking effects of simple sugars.

How?

By adding a small amount of apple cider vinegar to meals.

Apple cider vinegar, also known as ACV, is fermented from apple cider that takes the sugar from the cider and breaks it down during the fermentation process to change it to vinegar.

In a 2005 study, researchers wanted to test vinegar's effect on blood sugar spikes after study subjects ate white bread.

Researchers found the subjects who drank the vinegar while eating white bread reduced postprandial (after-meal) responses of blood sugar and insulin.

What do you need to know about the uses and the benefits of apple cider vinegar?

Dr. Patricia Bragg joins Dr. Mike to discuss this and other studies showing apple cider vinegar's anti-sugar effects.
