To understand apple cider vinegar, we must first understand what vinegar is and for that we have to go back in time… around 5,000 years ago in fact! As with all good discoveries, (read penicillin), it was discovered by someone with some untidy habits. Essentially it was discovered when grape juice turned into wine and then after what I can only imagine was a long time…into vinegar! Upon its discovery it was used to preserve food, but obviously after many years of people eating vinegar infused food, somebody clocked onto the fact that people were getting healthier and decided that it must be an amazing, healthy antidote to almost every single ailment imaginable. I actually find this interesting because they must have eaten a ton of vinegar flavoured food, but still decide it was worth using to help with their health. However I am glad that they saw past this and pushed onwards with it, because it meant that we now have a massive history of evidence to look back on and see it benefits. A little bit more history <strong>You</strong> may have heard of an ancient Greek named Hippocrates, of the Hippocratic Oath fame? Well he used apple cider vinegar for a myriad of reasons including but not limited to: Poison Ivy Croup Stomach aches Diabetes Although vinegar actually means “sour wine” in French; it can really be made from any kind of carb that is possible to be fermented, which includes apples of course! 2/12
The traditional method of making vinegar (PDF), is to leave it for a very long time to ferment and become very rich in certain healthy components like: Acetic acid Gallic acid Catechin Epicatechin Caffeic acid These components give vinegar its incredible antioxidant and antimicrobial features, along with many other quite amazing benefits. As reported in Medscape General Medicine: “The slow methods are generally used for the production of the traditional wine vinegar, and the culture of acetic acid bacteria grows on the surface of the liquid and fermentation proceeds slowly over the course of weeks or months. The longer fermentation period allows for the accumulation of a non-toxic slime composed of yeast and acetic acid bacteria, known as the mother of vinegar.” “Mother” of vinegar, a cobweb-like amino acid-based substance found in unprocessed, unfiltered vinegar, indicates your vinegar is of the best quality. Most manufacturers pasteurize and filter their vinegar to prevent the mother from forming, but the “murky” kind is best, especially if you’re planning to consume it. Basically, vinegar is fantastic for a whole raft of things, not limited to merely your health. So I will go through this massive list and break it down into different sections. Feel free to jump to whichever point you are most interested in. 3/12
