I drink a mixture of water, raw apple cider vinegar, and Stevia extract occasionally because I like the taste of tart apple juice but don't want the sugar that comes with such. I haven't noticed an appreciable loss of fat - I'd love to know what the hypothetical mechanism of action for this is.
- red-iron-pine 3y agomarketing. that's the mechanism of action. maybe, long shot maybe, it has something to do with vinegar bacteria getting into the gut, but in that case a probiotic style pill should do the same thing.
- voisin 3y agoYou’re suggesting that “Big Apple Cider Vinegar” put this study out as marketing?
- vfvthunter 3y agoThe effect here seems to have little to do with gut microbiota: acetic acid itself induces the liver to stop making fats (lipogenesis) and start liberating fats into the blood (lipolysis). AcOH also by itself seems to decrease insulin resistance/increase insulin sensitivity, as well as downregulate gluconeogenesis. Several of the other studies in the bibliography confirmed this, and a couple even did tissue biopsies pre during and post to assess for changes in genetic expression of things like AMPK.
