People use Apple Cider Vinegar in LCKD diet for fat loss. But are there some real, long term & significant internal health benefits of apple cider vinegar other than just fat loss and outer beauty?
Here I am sharing results (and links for those who are interested in details) of 2 scientific human & animal studies on Apple Cider Vinegar. The first study shows how consuming ACV(Apple Cider Vinegar) over 8 week period reduced total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol) & triglycerides (fats dissolved in blood) without affecting the HDL (good cholesterol much). The second study on diabetic mice shows how ACV from 7th day onwards reduced blood glucose levels significantly and this was maintained on days 14 and 21.
Study 01 brief-
This quasi-experiment study(time series design) was carried out on 19 patients with hyperlipidemia. The subjects had been referred to a cardiologist and agreed to consume apple cider vinegar. At baseline, blood samples were obtained to measure cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein (LDL), and high density lipoprotein (HDL). The tests were repeated at two, four, and eight weeks of vinegar consumption. The results were analyzed using repeated measurement analysis. There were significant reduction in the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL after eight weeks of consuming apple cider vinegar and with an increased HDL levels but the trend was not statistically significant. Consumption of apple cider vinegar over a 8 week period had a beneficial effect in significant reductions in harmful blood lipids and is recommended as a simple and cost-effective treatment for hyperlipidemia

Study 02 brief-
Our results indicated that apple cider vinegar in both concentrations was not effective after 3 days of the start of its administration. However, on day 7 it reduced blood glucose levels significantly and this was maintained on days 14 and 21. Glucose tolerance test showed that apple cider vinegar was effective in lowering blood glucose level after 60 minutes of glucose administration and this was maintained up to 120 minutes. Also, in both concentrations significantly reduced serum amylase levels 21 days after the start of its administration. Conclusions: Therefore, in this study it has been revealed that apple cider vinegar has considerable reducing effect on blood glucose levels in diabetic mice. The mechanism of this action and its significance remain to be elucidated in future investigations.
