Apple cider vinegar is one of the latest food trends people are going crazy about because of its health benefits. However, vinegar is not a miracle drink that can improve your overall health and help you lose weight. Things are actually a lot different in reality, so here are some common myths about this drink you should know.

May Aid Weight Loss

The main reason why apple cider vinegar became so popular is because one study showed that it may have some effects on weight loss. However, this doesn’t mean that apple cider vinegar is a magical substance you should drink on a daily basis in order to lose weight, because that could potentially be harmful.

It Can Help “Cure” Diabetes

It has been proven that apple cider vinegar could help lower blood glucose levels to some extent, but that doesn’t mean it can in any way help cure diabetes or that it should be taken instead of medications.

It Can’t Harm You

Much like with any other food, drinking too much apple cider vinegar could potentially have some side effects such as tooth decay or digestive issues because it’s acidic.

There Are No Health Benefits

This type of vinegar does have some proven benefits. It can reduce blood pressure and can control your appetite by increasing the feeling of fullness, but we should use it in moderation.
