cider vinegar

[Guest guest]

I'm a little confused on the cider vinegar issue that's been tossed around.

Are people advocating taking cider vinegar to increase their potassium

levels? It was my understanding that vinegar leeches calcium from your

bones, so aren't you causing another deficiency by supplementing postassium

in this way? I know I must be missing something -- help! : - )

Dear Ms. McDuffee,

People ate vinegar because they thought it relieved rheumatoid

arthritis, and it may well have done so. However I know of no

controlled experiments along those lines.

As for bones, I suspect that if you get enough calcium, vitamin D,

and phosphorus you will have little to fear about bones.

If vinegar does have an affect on bones (which I doubt), it would

probably take a truck load to do the job. If you do nothing else

nutritionally but nibble a little on this and that of unprocessed

food, while you may not become an Olympic athelete, I suspect that

you will at least be smiling. I sure hope so.

Interestingly, acid-forming foods contribute to and exacertbate auto immune

disease including arthritis. Vinegar is an acid-forming food. I sure

wouldn't take it for my arthritis!

The big issue is not whether you ingest enough calcium, but is enough

getting metabolized?

Dear Group,

I have been suffering from some auto immune symptoms, with very

painfull joints being one.

 

It seems to help me when I drink the Kombucha tea. Many people report

this result.

 

There are quite a few different yeasts and bacterias involved in the

culturing of he tea. Some are yeasts that convert the sugar to alcohol

and others are vinegar producing bacteria that convert the alcohol to

vinegar.

 

Vinegar is a natural part of the process.

If you continue culturing it will produce a nice vinegar.

 

 

In one of the K-T groups the other day a woman that had had arthritis

for 17 years said all of her symptoms are gone after drinking it for 9

months approx.

P.S. All vinegar for thousands of years, were made with a bacteria

culture, but I read a while back that they are now making vinegar out

of petroleum. Yum Yum.
