Research shows that regularly using vinegar as part of your diet can help block fat, and aid in weight loss. But using the right kind of vinegar makes a big difference in your health. Find out why Body Ecology recommends apple cider vinegar for its superior health benefits. |
The weight management industry is a huge business in the United States. In 2005, it was estimated to be worth about $3.93 billion.1
But what if one of the keys to weight loss wasn’t found in dangerous pills, processed diet foods or expensive surgeries?
It’s true: one of your best weight loss tools can be found at some grocery stores for under five dollars.
Acetic Acid in Vinegar Suppresses Body Fat Accumulation, Study Says
Vinegar – or, acetic acid – may prevent the build up of fat, and therefore weight gain, according to results of a study with mice from Japan.2
Animals fed a high-fat diet and supplemented with acetic acid developed about 10 percent less body fat than mice just eating the diet, according to findings published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
This isn’t the first time vinegar has been linked to weight control. In 2005, scientists from Lund University reported that increasing intake of the common flavoring could help dieters eat less and reduce cravings brought on by sugar peaks after meals.3
At Body Ecology, we have long recognized the benefits of vinegar, but the TYPE of vinegar makes all the difference.
White vinegar that is readily available at most supermarkets is refined and therefore, acid forming. This means that using white vinegar can create an acidic condition in your blood, setting the stage for illness and disease.
Instead, we recommend raw apple cider vinegar for your weight loss goals.
But that’s Not All...Apple Cider Vinegar is Good For You!
Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar IS a fermented food. It has medicinal properties and has been used throughout history as a healing food. The benefits of apple cider vinegar have now also been confirmed in modern research.
Using apple cider vinegar as part of your Body Ecology diet will not only aid in weight loss, it will also help:
Make sure you buy the right kind of vinegar to reap the best health benefits. Remember, it’s not all about blocking fat, but also making your body more efficient in general!
Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar is an excellent choice for a raw, unfiltered and organic weight-loss tool.

A good, fermented apple cider vinegar will be unfiltered, unpasteurized, and made from organic apples.
Some apple cider vinegars are treated during fermentation with meta-bisul fite, a preservative that is not required by law to be listed on the label. Instead, look for apple cider vinegar that contains natural sediment with pectin, trace minerals, beneficial bacteria, and enzymes.
