The U.S. health magazine “Health” reported on March 28th that a research team from Lebanon’s Kaslik Holy Spirit University found that apple cider vinegar can help with weight loss.

The research team divided 120 study participants, aged between 12 and 25, into four groups. They provided three of these groups with 0.17 ounces (5 ml), 0.34 ounces (10 ml), and 0.51 ounces (15 ml) of apple cider vinegar every morning. The remaining group was given a placebo.

The average weight of the participants was initially 173 pounds (78.5 kg), but after 12 weeks of the study, the average weight of the group that consumed 0.51 ounces (15 ml) daily dropped to 154.7 pounds (70.3 kg). The group that consumed 0.34 ounces (10 ml) had an average weight of 159 pounds (72.1 kg), while the group that consumed 0.17 ounces (5 ml) recorded an average weight of 163 pounds (74 kg).

In addition, all three groups showed decreased waist and hip circumference and Body Mass Index (BMI). There were also significant improvements in their blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels.

The research team believes that vinegar’s components influence metabolism and satiety, reduce calorie intake, and promote fat oxidation and fat storage reduction.

However, the research team added a cautionary note, stating, “Excessive consumption of apple cider vinegar can have side effects such as reducing enamel on teeth and irritating the esophagus.”
