Chapters

Most people who drink apple cider vinegar are actually slowing their progress. Not because apple cider vinegar is bad, but because the way they're using it quietly works against their body. And the hardest part is that they think they're doing something healthy. Apple cider vinegar can support blood sugar balance, digestion, and cravings, but only when it is used in a way your body recognizes as safe and supportive. But acetic acid is still an acid, and your body is very specific about how and when and how much acid it can actually use.
