We all have that one friend or family member who swears by the apple cider vinegar diet.
She says apple cider vinegar use dates back to 3300 B.C.
when it was used to disinfect wounds, ease sore throats, and help improve strength and athletic ability.
Despite its popularity, though, there is little evidence backing up these claims.
“Diets create physical and psychological deprivation,” she said.
Other experts agree that the apple cider vinegar diet isn’t a good idea.
Currently, only a handful of studies have examined the effects of apple cider vinegar on humans or animals.
Themost commonly cited studyabout the diet was held in 2009.
Another found that subjects who drank 25 grams of apple cider vinegarreported a diminished appetite alongside feeling nauseous.
Other studies have shown that apple cider vinegar can causeskin erosionsandburnswhen used for mole removal and treating infections.
Apple cider vinegar may also interact with some medications, perHealthline.
