APPLE JUICE
Does apple cider vinegar really have health super powers?
apple cider vinegar I think is something that's been around for I think quite a while in the wellness space I myself as a registered nutritionist encounter it probably every week if I'm being honest in terms of the amount of people that come in having heard claims about weight loss about insulin sensitivity and there is a new study that came out in 2024 so it's a randomized control trial it's got good data behind it but we still need in my opinion a larger sample size when it comes to weight loss and the claims that apple cider vinegar has around it it's almost got what I call a health Halo [Music] impact a health Halo food is what we tend to call in the nutrition industry an item that is perceived as Superior to others so you probably heard the term a while ago superfoods for once it was protein you know protein was on every single packet on even chocolate bars and therefore people seem to think it's better for their health I feel like apple cider vinegar is one of those items now that people kind of have an idea that it's Associated or linked to health benefits therefore they are more likely to consume it for that reason the mechanisms are still not fully understood we've got rodent trials we have a very small amount of human trials and in fact the most recent study was conducted on overweight people and obese individuals there's also a confusion around links with diabetes so it may potentially be beneficial for type two diabetes that's a very different issue for people with type one which is [Music] autoimmune I would honestly say for people that are going to suddenly take a shot of apple cider vinegar please consult with your care professional and do it in the right way because it can cause all sorts of digestive discomfort if you haven't diluted it to the correct ratio for some people it can flare up digestive systems that are already underlying we're looking at very on the edge science I would say some that isn't quite robust enough for me to say on a public health level everyone should be taking .
