Weight Loss and Apple Cider Vinegar

Weight Loss and Apple Cider Vinegar

Let’s look at the weight loss claims associated with consumption of Apple Cider Vinegar. It is said that ancient Egyptians were the first people to use ACV but it was made popular in the 1950’s by the best selling book – Folk Medicine authored by a Vermont doctor, D. C. Jarvis.

A number of researches were conducted to find out if vinegar could really help with weight loss and fat loss. For example, a 2005 study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition revealed that healthy subjects who ate a meal based on white wheat bread supplemented with vinegar felt fuller as compared with the control group who were not given vinegar supplementation.

Apple Cider Vinegar Help with Weight Loss and Fat Loss

However, vinegar ingestion increased just short-term satiety. In another research study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, scientists found that acetic acid (vinegar) suppressed accumulation of body fat and also the fatty liver by upregulating the expression of certain genes.

Despite the promising results, the fact remains that these studies are preliminary and most of them were done on experimental animals. Human studies were small. So, much larger clinical trials have to be performed to confirm that vinegar (including cider vinegar) really helps with weight loss.
