An apple cider vinegar drink a day? New study shows it might help weight loss

Wednesday, March 13, 2024

An experimental study, released today, looks into whether apple cider vinegar could be effective for weight loss, reduce blood glucose levels and reduce blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides).

Key Points: 
  • An experimental study, released today, looks into whether apple cider vinegar could be effective for weight loss, reduce blood glucose levels and reduce blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides).
  • The results suggest it could reduce all three – but it might not be as simple as downing an apple cider vinegar drink a day.

What did they do?

  • A control group consumed an inactive drink (a placebo) made (from lactic acid added to water) to look and taste the same.
  • The study was also double-blinded, which means neither the participants or the scientists involved with collecting the data knew who was in which group.

So, what did they find?

  • After a period of three months apple cider vinegar consumption was linked with significant falls in body weight and body mass index (BMI).
  • On average, those who drank apple cider vinegar during that period lost 6–8kg in weight and reduced their BMI by 2.7–3 points, depending on the dose.
  • The authors also report significant decreases in levels of blood glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol in the apple cider groups.

Is this good news?

  • Firstly, study participants were aged from 12 to 25, so we can’t say whether the results could apply to everyone.
  • And while the researchers kept records of the participants’ diet and exercise during the study, these were not published in the paper.
  • This could be important and influence results if people who did not lose weight quit due to lack of motivation.
