Watch this Before Drinking ACV (Perfect Blood Sugars?)

[@clairehachey2189]

As a former nurse, I have so much respect for this amazing doctor. Thank you so much Dr. Brewer for sharing your knowledge.

[@PrevMedHealth]

Thank You!

[@kbmblizz1940]

Dr. Brewer is an example of a healthy fit middle aged who followed standard medical guidelines at the time but still became T2. That tells you what chances an average person with SAD diet/lifestyle has. Appreciate that he makes it clear T2 can be reversed with lifestyle, not T1.

I am still working on my health. About 35 years ago I had a triglyceride level of 1,250. I was not diagnosed with type 2 until about 15 years after that. I will be 70 in June.

[@earlymann1954]

I have lived with high triglycerides for as long as I can remember. First diagnosed at age 30, at a level so high they couldn't get a proper reading of them, over 3,500! It seems I have inherited this condition from someone in my family, perhaps father. This was discovered in 1985. In 1999 I was diagnosed as diabetic. I was put through complete physical exams every two to three years by my employer (State Dept) and diabetes was not discovered until 1999, but triglycerides were caught in my pre-employment physical, and tracked throughout the years. I have never, even until now, experienced high blood pressure though. If I severely restrict my diet, I can get blood sugar to a normal level, but triglycerides are another matter. Best I can do is still about 4 to 5 times high normal and that's with medicine! I'm 70 now.

[@ethimself5064]

I found out some time ago that Braggs bought all of their ACV from a major producer and that this producer bought out Braggs. The producer sold their ACV at 7% and Braggs was always 5% which has been the standard. 7% is the standard for pickling. As well Braggs still has the Mother in their ACV - Seen this with my own eyes every time in my local health food stores

[@christineellengalbraith2215]

I was T2D for 14 years before I found LCHF living. I had retinopathy & so many metabolic syndrome issues. Several years later and NO evidence of retinopathy ever. So impressed my optometrist he’s eating like me - what a compliment! Personally though I put the eye health down to omega 3. Since covid infection I’ve found glucose management and fat burning much more difficult. I’m sure the beta blocker for the heart arrhythmia resulting from LC stops me accessing ffat as fuel efficiently. ACV has always been a daily addition to my LCHF lifestyle - should I raise the daily ACV intake.

[@davidsylvester2543]

From Bragg's own website: "Water is added to dilute the organic apple cider vinegar to 5% acidity."

[@1charlastar886]

5% is the normal acidity of ACV. Some brands are now diluted to 3%. Stay away from those.

[@PrevMedHealth]

I haven't seen studies I suspect Benefits might be similar but not as strong as the liquid form

[@ethimself5064]

I would go liquid as the caps(I presume) are far more expensive as in sky high/serving. I prefer Organic Red Balsamic vinegar mixed with water and liquid Stevia.

[@Casey-rr7th]

@@PrevMedHealth I don't like the taste of the Bragg's ACV liquid so I thought I'd try the capsules. I've been taking one Nutricost ACV capsule (with my five psyllium husk capsules) with every meal for almost a year now.

[@mountaincat8]

Would it be better to take 2 tablespoons ACV in the morning or 1 tablespoon in the morning and 1 tablespoon in the evening?

[@lway8545]

1 Tablespoon with food in morning. 1 Tablespoon with food afternoon. Too much is harsh on your stomach especially without food. You can even get by with only a teaspoon 2x per day

I've tried ACV with 1 tablespoon in a large glass of water, but my digestive system can't tolerate it. I'm curious how others are able to take it without getting sick.

I put about 1 tablespoon in 1/2 glass of water. I take a sip to see how it tastes. If it seems a bit strong, I add water and if it's weak, I add a little more vinegar. It doesn't bother my stomach at all. I usually only do that once a day and drink it throughout the day.

I never imagined that ACV would liberate me from decades of antacid reliance. It seemed to reset my acid production and virtually eliminated recurrent gerd.

[@PrevMedHealth]

Thanks for sharing

[@blebull]

⁠@@PrevMedHealthWorked for me too. Antacids dont solve the problem, which is stomach pH being too high, which causes the acid reflux. Antacids only Alleviate symptoms but make the problem worse. ACV decreases pH to the point when the acidic stomach content cannot escape because the esophageal sphincter properly closes

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

@@blebull I think you have that Backwards? Acid reflux is caused by too LOW acid in the stomach!!

[@blebull]

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217No, I dont, that is the point of my comment, esophageal sphinkter closure is pH dependent, and lowering stomach pH by ACV causes the sphinkter to close properly so the acidic content cannot escape and cause reflux😮. What pH do you think healthy stomach, which produces hydrochloric acid, has. 😂

[@999lynette]

Should you take ACV before or after a meal for best benefits? Split up between meals or all at once each day? Will you get the benefits it provides if you’re on a mostly low carb diet?

But I still believe that balsamic vinegar is better than ACV.

[@HawaiiLimey]

If it is authentic balsamic then it would have the benefits of the vinegar plus added polyphenols. Downside is if you are dealing with auto immune issues then it has higher histamine levels. Most balsamic vinegars in the store are imitation balsamic with high sugar content.

Do you have any research showing ACV lowering blood sugar levels?

I had no idea Dr Brewer had Type 2. If he can't fix his what hope do we have?

[@OTatime]

Dr. Brewer’s case isn’t unusual. My doctor monitored my HbA1c. When mine reached 6.3, that was a warning of pre-diabetes. I was warned to quit ultra-processed foods, eliminate added sugars, and reduce carbs to less than 50 grams per day. Eat unprocessed meats/fish/chicken, whole fruits, and cruciferous vegetables. Result: HbA1c dropped to 5.2, triglycerides dropped to normal, and lost 85 pounds over two years. It is possible to reverse metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes with diet and lifestyle. But it becomes harder to do once you have diabetes. Your mileage may vary. And yes, ACV was part of my journey.
