Vinegar a Metabolism Booster?
The primary substance that gives ordinary vinegar its sour taste and strong odor may fight fat, suggests new research presented at a recent meeting of the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Food Science. In a study of 175 overweight Japanese men and women, those who consumed a drink containing either 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar daily for 12 weeks had significantly lower body weight, bMI, visceral fat, and waist circumference than the control group that didn't consume any vinegar. researchers credit vinegarŐs acetic acid, which may switch on genes that pump out proteins that break down fat.
