I've known for along while, that vinegar is good, for the body, and the more info i gather, the more money i save. Even on wrinkle cream! Well it is a preservative isn't it, logic says, it slows down the aging process.

In califonia, i was paying a small fortune every month for pyruvate, of which isn't really required if your drinkingvinegar...So those body beautifuls, need to do some research... Try Hans Adolf Krebs and the krebs cycle. Which lists all the acids required, for the cycle. Vinegars got them all!

Only for the hardcore
Mind & Muscle with good research on vinegar for various health benefits, although take it with a pinch of salt!

Now you can also pickle your nuts in vinegar.....and watch them jump into your biceps!

Fruit Vinegars, their Constitients and Potential Health Effects. is a report by authorised by? and done by the very well known Professor Fereidoon Shahidi...department of Bio-chemistry Memorial University of Newfoundland. This is not made public, however I have authorisation to use, what i want, from the report.
I have seen many supposedly fresh fruit drink stalls attempting to cash in on selling vinegar drinks, by adding Rice Vinegar into the fruit drinks...
I can firmly say, don't be conned.
Specially brewed vinegar drinks, go through a fermentation process, to extract, the beneficial acids, through the natural organic process, however, bacteria is added to start the process, the mother of vinegar....
The mother of vinegar because of the bacteria content is also specially developed and not just any Mother of Vinegar.
I quote from the report " With respect to ORAC and DPPH radical scavenging...Vinegars tested which had the highest phenolic and/or flavonoid content were most effective as free radical scavengers, such as PLUM, Balsamic, grape, and wine vinegars.
Rice and White vinegar which had the lowest level of phenolics and flavonoids, exhibited the lowest activity both in ORAC and DPPH scavenging"
SAVE YOUR MONEY do not be conned, by those, trying to sell a fresh fruit drink and adding RICE VINEGAR or WHITE VINEGAR and calling it a healthy drink, white vinegar is water, with acetic acid in it. and rice vinegar needs to go through another fermentation process, with the fruits, before any bio-chemical reaction can take place, to promote healthy acids.
Please note, from a health point of view, that special vinegars are brewed for special reasons, and should not be considerd, all the same.....just vinegar, because they are not just vinegars.
A drinking vinegar provides approx only 1% acetic acid once diluted and the pH is around 4, roughly the same as the human skin should be, to protect against attack from harmful bacteria.. the body needs to be balanced for good health, so drinking health vinegars deliver sufficient acids on a daily basis, that the body needs for cell renewal and scavenging, to maintain the body balance, they can be drank with safety 3 or 4 times a day.
Much more healthy than most drinks on the market, although to stop drinking vinegar, will also see, the body revert to its old sick self, unbalanced, because of the lack of natural organically fermented fruit acids, or just plain bad diet planning.
Bio-chemical reactions, with different materials, such as fruits, give all different results depending on the individual Fruit used, the results are unique to the material that is fermented, quality and strength, depending on many factors in the brewing process.
