Is drinking apple cider vinegar bad for you?

One friend told me to get hot water, put a little apple cider vinegar, and a little honey... that its like a natural energy drink, a diuretic, and it cleans your system.

BUT..........

Another friend told me not to drink that stuff. It's not good for you. It'll mess up your insides.

I drank it a couple of times to maybe lose a couple of pounds, but then I got scared cuz of what the second friend said.

    It is good for you, just make sure it is real apple cider vinegar.. Don't use warm water, use tap water. The only thing is to make sure you rinse your mouth out or brush your teeth after drinking it. It is more beneficial without the honey, but if you need the honey it is OK.

    ACV (apple cider vinegar) is not bad for you. It is healthy. It is in most old style salad dressings. I love to saturate cucumber slices in it with salt. Eat up. Don't eat anything else before you go to sleep and you will wake up in better health. That is because it helps your immune system (which exists mostly in your intestines... did you know that???) However, I am not aware of the weight loss characteristics. I would not drink more than a few ounces per day.

    Yes, drinking apple cider vinegar is supposed to be good for you. I've been doing it a long time.... er, well, in some water. I can't stand it straight up! Too strong. But, in some water its supposed to help clean up the insides...

    and for diabetics, it may help regulate blood sugars.

    What your second friend said....is ..well, incorrect.

    Look it up... there is a lot of documentation about it on the internet.

    It is commonly consumed to avoid a positive result on a urine test, not that I would know anything about that. It is a food product, and therefore intended for human consumption. Don't let your paranoid friend use scare tactics, some people are just looking for trouble.

    Leave it alone, hon, try something else, it's very toxic drinking it like that! Your friend should know better than to advise you to drink it. Have a good day.
