YMMV Vinegar is cheaper than those supplements. I think I'll keep on experimenting on taking the two tablespoons without feeling like I'm choking down medicine. You can't take it straight like a shot of whiskey, that's for sure. It's too acidic and burns your throat. I'd like to find a way to take it faster than having to drink a whole glass of liquid, though. sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each half cup gets easier too. I saw a low carb apple juice on the market that would probably accept the vinegar nicely too. I didn't look at numbers because other than V-8 I don't use juice at all. The reason I want this and cinnamon to work and work good is so that when Dr. Prescribum asks me what is changing my numbers, I can say Apple Cider Vinegar and Cinnamon. . .hahahahahahahaha!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I like your attitude. I am also trying to get into the vinegar habit. I just use water and it is ok for me but I will try the V8 also. ml DuNord wrote: > > Sky said> Vinegar is cheaper than those supplements.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I have always drunk my v-8 wirh lime juice as I prefer it that way. I tried adding 2 tbs & it was perfectly acceptable.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hello, I was diagnosed with diabetes about 8 months ago and had a very difficult time adjusting. The Dr. sent me to a nutritionist which was worthless. I am now doing much better with bg's of 75 in the am. This group has helped me beyond words. I do have a question about the vinegar which I do believe works. I drink it in a fruit tea in a mug. Does drinking 2 tablespoons a day have any effect on the enamel of the teeth? Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 As I recall, vinegar is also available in tablet form . . . but I have no idea if the strength or efficacy is equivalent to liquid.

" http://www.zooscape.com/cgi-bin/maitred/GreenCanyon/questp406578 Yet another brand says that one 100 mg. tablet of their Cider Vinegar tablets is the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of cider vinegar. " Each tablet contains the equivalent to one teaspoon (5 ml) of apple cider vinegar. Derived from apple cider vinegar. " http://www.iherb.com/cidervinegar1.html http://www.webvitamins.com/product.aspx?id=9822 I guess it depends upon how each tablet product is formulated.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 If 1 teaspoon liquid = 5 ml and each pill is equivalent to 5m, you need 6 pills before each meal. A teaspoon is 1/3 of a tablespoon. I have no idea what either the pills or the vinegar costs, but have a feeling the vinegar would cost a whole lot less.
