Apple Cider Vinegar Diet, will it help you lose weight? This supplement is often found in weight loss formulas but what does the research say? Are claims being made about its benefits that are not substantiated?

Apple cider vinegar is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid. The fermentation process begins by adding sugar and yeast. The yeast turns the sugars into alcohol. Later, the alcohol is converted by acetic acid-forming bacteria into vinegar. Acetic acid gives vinegar its sour taste.
   Apple cider vinegar diet products are advertised in the popular press and over the Internet. However, we are not able to find any human research regarding their effectiveness. At this time we don't have any strong evidence to recommend such a regimen for weight loss. However, even though there has not been much human research, it is possible that that it has health benefits that we are not aware of yet.
