| has gloss | eng: Apple cider vinegar, otherwise known simply as cider vinegar, is a type of vinegar made from cider or apple must and has a pale to medium amber color. It may be sold unfiltered and unpasteurized with the mother of vinegar present, as a natural product. It is very popular, partly due to beneficial health and beauty properties. Due to its acidity, apple cider vinegar may be very harsh, even burning to the throat. If taken straight (as opposed to use in cooking), it can be diluted (e.g. with fruit juice, honey, or sugar) before drinking. Some dilute it with warm water and add honey. When taken as a supplement, there may be side effects such as irritability, nervousness, and palpitations; other side effects may occur, and theoretically it may interact with certain medicines. Some users have had problems similar to those attributed to pharmaceutical drugs such as Fosamax. There has been one report of a woman who received acid chemical burns of the throat when using the pill form. |
