Vinegar? Good or Bad?

[MarkA15]

I use vinegar in a lot of my food. How bad is it to drink up to two spoon size of vinegar? To show how much I like vinegar, if given time I could probably empty a bottle of vinegar.

[D-Bo]

ive actually heard that vinegar is great for your health, my great grandma used to drink a cup of vinegar straight up every day, she lived to like 95

[MarkA15]

Wow, that's really good. Any idea if it messes with any nutrients needed for strength gaining?

EDIT: another site

"NUTRITION
Vinegar contains mostly flavor, though it also contains some minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese."

looks good maybe i should start drinking some vinegar :-D

[BigHulkHogan]

Hell Yeah its good for you!

It's even good for heartburn and good to help you digest rough foods....

Plus I used to drink it after I got back from a night of drinking all night!
Never got a hangover or threw up the next morning!


Vinegar(one teaspoon)
Olive Oil(several teaspoons)
Oregano(some)

Equals the BEST salad dressing......

perhaps vinegar is bad for you and shewould have lived to 105 instead?

touche!

[MarkA15]

So I guess it's fine to drink a whole bottle of vinegar. MmMm

[mikeslemonade]

I prefer tabasco or any other hot sauce or sauce. Vinegar alone makes me sick. I can say vinegar is not bad for you but i don't know if its good for you.

[MarkA15]

oh and along with small diced garlic. BAM!

Yeah, I don't like the smell, but I like the taste

aww lol.
i thought they drank it becasue of decent iron and magnesium levels. my great grandma used to rust nails in a cup for a week and drink it for iron :-P she lived about as long as MarkA15's :-P

[reflexions]

Cider vinegar yes! Thats full of nutrient. But I don't think regular malt vinegar, is that good. My mum uses white vinegar, for cleaning things. I should think to much, can cause abscess, in the stomach, due to its acidic properties.

[peepboon]

Its suppose to be good for you, thats all i know :S lol

Good man, anyone who enjoys tabasco as much as me has to be a good guy. I love hot sauces, I buy like the hottest in the world and use em as food additives. a few drops on some chicken, bake it and ur good to go.

I was doing some research on this myself because I am addicted to Balsamic Vinegar I drink 500mL in 1-2 weeks. I'm going to stop drinking it after researching about yeast allergy. I recommend you do the same if you have ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, Fibromyalgia, or any other digestive related mental disorders.

There are many types of vinegar. They all have one thing in common: they involve fermentation with yeast.
____________________

Yeast make a number of chemical compounds which are then picked up and absorbed into the body. These compounds are quite toxic to the nervous system. These compounds include toxic alcohols and acetone, as well as the powerful nervous system poison hydrogen sulfide. Alcohols depress and slow the nervous system and acetone causes coma. These chemicals slow the brain down so that the brain no longer works correctly. These chemicals should be cleared by the liver so that these chemicals never reach the brain. However in some people, these chemicals are apparently not cleared, reach the brain, and cause mental symptoms.

Slowing of the brain, especially in speech areas has been found in brains of autistic children. Alcohols are well known to disrupt brain development.

There are also chemicals in the diet which slow the brain down. Barley malt, the raw material for making beer, contains twenty chemicals which slow the brain down. Vinegar also contains such chemicals.

The combination of chemicals from internal yeast and from food could partially account for the finding of the brain slowing in autistic children.

Real men use hot sauce

How are those digestive related mental disorders. I Don't think That even exists.
Perhaps vinegar could be related to "Digestive related diseases" Such as an ulcer, or Heartburn.

I don't know how u can link viniger to autism or schizophrenia

Vinegar is VERY BAD because it has alchohol and it raises your metabolism.

Vinegar is VERY BAD because it has alchohol and it raises your metabolism.

The amount of alcohol is minimal, otherwise, by law it would have to be written on the bottle. The percentage written on the bottle, lets you know how strong the acitity is and has nothing to do with alcohol. Children eat it, I've never heard anyone not letting their kids eat pickled foods or putting vinagrette (or other vinegar based dressings} on their salad. Recovering alcoholics on antabus can drink vinegar. If it were to contain noticable amounts of alcohol, then alcoholics would drink that stuff like crazy, cause it's way cheaper than alcohol.

Ps. If you are that worried about that slight bit, of almost non existing alcohol in vinegar, cook it of.
