Apple cider vinegar helps lose weight, but you must make sure to drink it safely.
Recent research shows that using apple cider vinegar may contribute to your weight loss goals, but you should be careful.
Effects on teeth:
Despite the beauty benefits of apple juice, it can negatively affect dental health if not used with caution. Apple cider vinegar contains malic acid and acetic acid with a pH between 2.5 and 3.0, which can negatively affect dental enamel. This may increase the risk of tooth decay and tartar formation, and may cause increased tooth sensitivity. A case study documented the occurrence of tooth decay in a 15-year-old girl who consumed a large amount of apple cider vinegar on a daily basis in an attempt to lose weight.
Therefore, it is recommended to dilute apple cider vinegar properly before using it to protect teeth. It is also recommended to stick to a certain water ratio between 5 to 10 parts water to one part vinegar, and avoid using it as a mouthwash.
Effects on the skin and throat:
Furthermore, users should be careful when using apple cider vinegar to maintain healthy skin, as it may cause burns due to its chemical corrosion ability. A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Cosmetic Dermatology revealed the case of a 14-year-old girl who suffered a chemical burn after using apple cider vinegar as a natural remedy to remove skin blemishes.
Therefore, caution must be the basis when using apple cider vinegar to avoid skin burns and negative effects on the throat.
According to Healthline, a review of harmful liquids accidentally swallowed by children found that the acetic acid found in vinegar is the most common acid that causes throat burns, and should be considered a “potent caustic.”
Furthermore, reports have found that those who drink large amounts of vinegar drinks for long periods of time require medical attention due to throat burns.
Indigestion and discomfort
Some people may suffer from indigestion or nausea after consuming apple cider vinegar. Therefore, it is important not to drink it on an empty stomach, and to stop taking it if you feel nauseous or vomiting.
In a study published in the British Medical Journal, which saw scientists in Lebanon conduct a clinical trial on a group of overweight people between the ages of 12 and 25 years. The 30 participants were divided into four groups, with three given either 5ml, 10ml, or 15ml of apple cider vinegar diluted with water each morning, and the fourth given a placebo.
After three months, it was discovered that those who drank apple cider vinegar during that period lost 6-8 kg of weight and their BMI decreased by 2.7-3 points, depending on the dose. This research also showed a significant reduction in waist and hip circumference, and a reduction in blood glucose and cholesterol.
