It is "The Vinegar Book" by Emily Thacker. Mine is 12th edition 1996. ISBN 1-883944-03-1

 

Table of Contents

 

Stay young forever

Vinegar fights disease

Where did vinegar come from

Vinegar's historic development

Vinegar making

In a pickle and proud of it

Cooking with vinegar

What's new?

References

 

It is a booklet, really, only 56 pages but large format.

I think it is a very good assessment of all the good sides of vinegar. Even has some recipes.

I've hear of Emily Thacker for some reason. Cider vinegar is supposed to be one of the best natural foods you can eat. People claim it has all sorts of healing/preventative properties, but I have no experience with it.

 

I used to make refrigerator pickles all the time. My Swedish Aunts always had it in their house. But noone will eat them besides me, I guess it's an acquired taste, lol. I don't even remember how to make them any more, although it was quite simple, as I recall.

I'm taking apple cider vinegar for some time now because I don't have enough hydrochloric acid in my stomach. To be honest, I don't feel any difference. I'm sure other people do. I'm getting the organic one by Bragg, with mother.

I'll have to get a hold of that book too....thanks for sharing Barbara.

My mom use to make something called New Pickles. I make them in the summer

time and the kids eat them all usually before I can get any. I can send the

recipe sometime if anyone is interested.

Here's the recipe. It's pretty simple but oh, so good especially in the hot

summer weather.

 

Almost New Pickles

 

Ingredients-

3/4 C sugar

1/2 C water

1 C vinegar

1/2 TB Dill Weed

1-2 Cucumbers

 

Slice cukes. Combine 4 other ingredients in a cooking pot. Boil til sugar

dissolves. When cool, pour over cukes and refridgerate. They'll be ready

to eat in 4-6 hours. They get better overnight.

You can reuse the liquid when the cukes are gone....just add more cukes and

refridgerate.

[Guest guest]

Thank you Sluggy I will try it!

Sounds similar to the "refrigerator pickles" my aunts used to make. I'm going to try these!

Cyndi, do you remember the old wives tail about drinking a tablespoon of vinegar before each meal to lose weight? Turns out there is a grain of truth there! Apparently vinegar helps to minimize--in a small way--the impact of carbs on blood sugar and insulin levels. Studies have shown that diabetics who choose Italian dressing or vinaigrette over Ranch dressing or another non-vinegar based dressing on their salad had a slower rise in blood sugar and lower insulin levels, which of course *does* impact weight gain/retention. (All other food consumed in this trial was identical.)

 

In addition to vinegar, other helpful *natural* ways to help your BS and/or lose weight gently is to add a teaspoon of cinnamon to something in your meal (like applesauce or hot chocolate), add fenugreek as a seasoning to your meat or rice dish and/or take a dose of a fiber supplement with a glass of water 1/2 hour before eating.

 

I have done it myself by eating the same breakfast several days in a row, adding one thing each day, and every day my BS was a little bit lower than the day before. By the time I had incorporated ALL the above items to my meal, it was a good 20 points lower an hour after eating! Now keeping in mind that it's not always possible to eat a salad and applesauce with every meal, it is very possible to put the fenugreek and cinnamon in empty gel caplets and take with the fiber supplement before eating and somehow add vinegar to something at the meal such as over asparagus or whatever...

P.S. Some people complain that the fenugreek gives off a garlicky odor which they find offensive, but personally it does not bother me! <smiles>

I do remember that-my little cider vinegar book (that I can't find) had that in there. And my oldest son used to have a girlfriend a long time ago that was obsessed with cider vinegar, her mother got her started on it young, I guess. Not only for weight loss, but she said it helped keep you healthy, especially women. She drank some in a glass of water three times a day, before every meal. That's what got me motivated to get that cider vinegar book. But I never really kept it up. Recently I read that it helped with acid reflux, so I started up with it again.

 

I DO believe that naturally fermented foods have a lot of benefits we don't remember any more. And fiber is the most overlooked weight-loss aid out there. Fiber AND water, I should add.

 

I heard about cinnamon last year-I add it to my oatmeal every morning. It also has powerful antioxidant properties. I'm glad you've had such positive results with these things! Thanks for telling us about them. :-) And anything garlicky is a GOOD THING, lol.Cyndi

Hi Cyndi -- nice to be here. I'm learning a lot, mostly by keeping my

mouth shut & just listening ... <g>

 

About the vinegar for the acid reflux, does it work? I do have acid

reflux -- a Prilosec a day & all that. It would be nice to be able to

take care of it more naturally.
