4 secret side effects of apple cider vinegar, one linked to diabetes and another dangerous

68

Many people take apple cider vinegar because of the circulating news and the many rumors that revolve around its various benefits, especially those related to weight loss.

Some references and simple studies indicate that taking apple cider vinegar as a supplement may support human health, but this evidence of the benefits of apple juice is still very limited and researchers are still working to understand these results.

Since many of the benefits of apple cider vinegar have been exaggerated, some people may take this acidic drink in proportions that exceed the permissible or the normal limit, so one should know its good and dangerous side effects.

The American health and food specialist, “Eat This, Not That”, highlighted apple cider vinegar juice with an article titled “The Secret Side Effects of Tafa juice, as science says.”

There are two scary side effects of apple cider vinegar, so you should be careful when consuming this drink, especially for those who have stomach problems.
Loss of appetite…but with digestive problems

According to the article, consuming small amounts of apple cider vinegar (less than one ounce) may cause some digestive problems such as indigestion.

One study published an experiment published in the International Journal of Obesity in America, in which participants consumed a drink containing 0.88 ounces of apple cider vinegar or a vinegar-free drink along with a varied breakfast.

The positive side is that those who consumed the apple cider vinegar drink reported a decreased appetite, but the downside was that they had significantly greater feelings of nausea and indigestion than those who did not take the apple cider vinegar.

Tooth enamel is at risk

Scientists confirm that acidic drinks in general can lead to the deterioration of tooth enamel. This applies to unhealthy drinks like soda (soft drinks) as well as healthy drinks like sparkling water.

Some studies have found that acetic acid, the predominant acid in apple cider vinegar, may have the same effect as well. A clinical lab study found that when tooth enamel is infused with different types of vinegar, teeth lose between 1% and 20% of minerals after just 4 hours.

Spotlight in the dark… Apple cider vinegar may contain useful substances in some cases:
Adjusting blood sugar levels by ‘flattening’ glucose

Many people with diabetes have heard that taking apple cider vinegar can help control and control blood sugar levels and recent research findings claim this.

An evidence-based analysis looked at 12 independent studies published in 2018 in the Journal of Integrative Medicine to determine the side effects of taking apple cider vinegar. The researchers noted that apple cider vinegar played a role in slowing gastric emptying, thus slowing the digestion of complex carbohydrates and thus flattening (maintaining moderate and stable levels) the peak blood glucose after a meal.

But the researchers stressed that the current evidence is still insufficient to provide conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of using vinegar to control diabetes levels, so it is always best to work with a doctor to come up with a treatment plan.

Lowering Cholesterol Levels and Fighting Toxins… Facts in Progress

Many people take apple cider vinegar as a dietary supplement because they believe that it removes toxins from the body, but science has not confirmed this point accurately and consistently.

But some studies that have looked at how eating apple cider vinegar affects human health have found that the ingredient may improve cholesterol levels.

One animal study found that when animals in the lab consumed vinegar for four weeks, they showed a decrease in their triglyceride levels. The researchers noted that this may be a side effect of the weight loss the animals experienced during the experiment, and that apple cider vinegar may not directly affect cholesterol levels.
