Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Can you give me scientific proof that it's good for you? Just think about it. It's produced by rotting a food until it turns to alcohol. Then the alcohol has to sour and turn into acetic acid which in concentration, by the way, can burn the skin if it isn't handled with heavy rubber gloves. Latex gloves won't even help. There are trace amounts of nutrients in it but not nearly as much as what's in the original apple. All of the anecdotes out there extolling the wonderful qualities of apple cider vinegar are just that--anecdotes. If acetic acid is so harmful in concentration, why would I want to put just a little bit in my body? For the flavor? And raw apple cider vinegar can contain E. coli. I have read (and I don't have the documentation here) that vinegar will slow digestion. That is counterproductive with the raw food diet. To your good health!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Tommie, Your information is interesting. I just did a search on apple cider vinegar there were thousands of links listed. I browsed through several pages of these and found not a single negative reference to using it either internally or externally, quite the contrary all of the links had only positive and beneficial things to say about it's use. I still feel like I would need to see much more literature/ documentation re it's negative effects before I would stop using apple cider vinegar based on information listed on one web site, when there are so many more recommending and listing the positive and beneficial effects of it's use, including naturopathic physicians, holistic practioners and some of the raw food " gurus " many of us look to to guide us along this journey. BTW, just about anything you eat can contain ecoli if it has been exposed to it....with poor hand washing techniques for instance.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I belong to the school of thought that rotten food is not fit for consumption. We will have to agree to disagree on this one. I do have one last question. Could you drink a glass full of vinegar as you would apple juice?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 > " Could you drink a glass full of vinegar as you > would apple juice? " Nope. I don't drink fruit juice I prefer to eat my fruit and no I would not drink a glass of vinegar. I do however use it daily in an alkalizing tea and in salad dressing.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Take it slow and easy. I was already more than half the way there because I have never eaten meat, I'd given up soy years ago, (my thyroid appreciated that and my swearing off vinegar and fermented foods) I was eating more and more fresh whole foods. I went 100% raw within four days of deciding to " give it a whirl " . I understand that most people can't do that. Cooked food and fractured foods are really and truly addictive.
