Apple vinegar?

i've heard that apple cider vinegar has a lot of benefits.. but does the apple vinegar have same benefits? both the same thing or what? because i bought the apple vinegar and didnt find any ''cider'' ones :(

can someone help?

I'm not sure if cider vinegar is made from apple cider (juice is just filtered cider) or hard (that is, alcoholic) cider, but either way, I've never seen "apple vinegar," only apple cider vinegar. I'm not sure what else "apple vinegar" could be.

As for its supposed benefits, most of them have little to no evidence backing them up. A quick google search turned up lots of links, but most of of them seem to rely on testimonials, rather than references, to support their health claims. WebMD has an article about it, and there are a few health claims that *might* pan out, but they don't give reference information for the studies they mention, either. If you want to do your own research, I'd start with scholarly sources that have peer-reviewed journals, rather than folk medicine websites.

I like cider vinegar, particularly for sweet-sour dishes, but I don't use it like a supplement. It's an acid, so I wouldn't go swigging it straight in large quantities, but as an ingredient it won't do you any harm.

I read a lot about the apple cider vinegar on earthclinic.com recently. People go really overboard about how it's a cure all, but I've been drinking 2 teaspoons of it in 16 oz of water and I've lost 3 lbs.

This is after a plateau- I work out and watch my diet but have been at 160 lbs (I'm 5'6") FOREVER! So those 3 lbs were a big deal to me. :)

I'm using Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. I got it online at vitacost.com. I don't buy into diet fads, but I've had good results with this.

Good luck!

Apple vinegar is Apple Cider vinegar. They are one and the same.
