Apple cider vinegar may help control blood sugar



A few swigs of apple cider vinegar could help your blood sugar levels. A 2007 study conducted by Arizona State University researchers found that people with type 2 diabetes who consumed two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with one ounce of cheese at bedtime had a lower fasting glucose the next morning compared with when they consumed water with their cheese before bed. (The patients weren’t taking insulin but continued to take their oral medications for type 2 diabetes during the study if they were on them.) The scientists concluded that the anti-glycemic effect of the apple cider vinegar may have been particularly beneficial for people who tended to have a relatively high fasting glucose. Now that you know many apple cider vinegar benefits, it might be time to try it out yourself–just be aware of these 8 things you should never do while taking apple cider vinegar.
