Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Hi Mr. Weber, I went to the url you gave below & entered cider vinegar then pressed the enter key, selected Tbs. & found just as you said. Cider vinegar has about 100 mg. of potassium but very little else. Big surprise to me. I didn't want to believe it but there it is.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Evening Ron, Cider vinegar has about 100 mg. of potassium but very >little else. Big surprise to me. I didn't want to believe it >but there it is. Well darn, the FDA must have been there. That is all they put in one capsule. Still, You have to take 30 tbs per day to get enough. Likely the Cider Vinegar varies from one batch or source to the other. I have never made vinegar but have come real close when making wine. Never have I made two batches alike. Possibly the amount of Cider Vinegar we take per day would add up to 1/3 or so of the target amount? or..... possibly not? Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 As with so many other indispensable nutrients, raw vegetables, particularly the dark and leafy green ones, are the best sources. - " Wayne Fugitt " <wayne Friday, November 16, 2001 1:09 PM Re: cider vinegar > Evening Ron, > > Cider vinegar has about 100 mg. of potassium but very > >little else.

Never have I made two batches alike. Ah, so you make wine, eh? That reminds me, I read somewhere that wine is sometimes a good source of potassium, and that dry red wine can help people with hyperinsulimia. I keep forgetting to buy some (not a big drinker myself, and hubby prefers beer & hard liquor). -- Mindy ----------------------- " ...that they may be one...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Great!!! That means I get LOTS of potassium at least.
