What Are the Risks of Apple Cider Vinegar?

Using apple cider vinegar supplements -- instead of the liquid itself --
adds another layer of risk. You just can't be sure what you're really
getting. Unlike medicines, supplements are not regulated by the FDA.
They aren't routinely tested for effectiveness or even basic safety. A

salad dressing, you should be fine. But taken as a daily medical
treatment, it could be a little more risky. Yes, some studies of
applecider vinegar are intriguing. But a lot more research needs to be

benefits are unknown, so are the risks.

If you're thinking about trying apple cider vinegar, talk to your doctor
first. It's always worth getting an expert's advice. Your doctor can also
make sure that the apple cider vinegar won't affect other health
conditions or the effectiveness of the medicines you take. Trying to
control a serious medical condition on your own with an unproven
treatment is both unwise and dangerous.
