Apple cider vinegar is claimed to blunt your blood sugar response to food. I ran some experiments and was VERY surprised by the results. Subscribe to Nourishable at youtube.com/c/Nourishable

  • It wasn't the bagle. The orange juice is the worst thing for blood sugar. You may just as well have drank sugar water.
  • @CedroCron
    I use a Continuous Glucose Monitor and have found the same results. I use ACV + Chromium tablets that have very little smell and you can't taste. I take these 1/2 hour before I eat with a full glass of water. It has definitely made a difference for me. Also if you are going to use liquid ACV, use a straw or it will wear down the enamel on your teeth.
  • @sar1357war
    I have been putting alot of time and effort to get to a conclusion in health science but the more I read and listen to podcasts or watch videos, the more I get confused! One day I am excited that I found about ACV, the next day someone says its useless! 😢 Why the scientists are not in the same opinion?!
  • @michaelcraik2951
    I was always told at least 30 minutes prior to meal. Gives ACV enough time to be absorbed into the system. I try to stay away from carbs in general. I will always eat my proteins, and veggies.
  • @abaadad6833
    what a value content you are bringing to the public well done
  • @xG4mx
    The first result of "before and after avc" led me to this video as a top result. Thank you for your work! Will share!
  • @romanb6810
    wow, great! easy to digest numbers and very reasonable experiment. Thank you!
  • I consume acv for the past 2 years and I always good results. I pour 2 tea spoons on salad and eat it 30-60 minutes before meal. And after an hour or 40 minutes I eat my food. It really blunts the glucose spikes. It doesn’t work to consume acv with meal or after. I use balsamic vinegar from Amazon.
  • @rstrunks
    great video. Thanks for testing the Gummies. Always thought those were substandard at best and looks like I was right. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Not sure if you did this yet, but would love to see a video on the effects of Stevia sweetener.
  • Valuable and accurate content!!! Thank you for sharing these creations with the public.
  • @gyasim
    Another great video 👍🏾 Thanks!

    I am a diabetic since 2004, insulin-dependent since 2012 and I started a prescription strength Keto diet in the last week of May, 22 this year. While under Ketosis, I have noticed ACV limits glucose spikes by a little. Not a whole lot. While under Ketosis, my glucose average is 120-125mg/dl, and if I have a small carb, it may rise up to 170-180mg/dl. If I have ACV with stevia-sweetened lemonade, then my blood glucose may reach 145mg/dl. The rise is still there, but not as significant. The carbs I speak of have been hot chocolate k-cups that contain 7/mg of sugar in the k-cup. Today I will stop by the supermarket to look for sugar-free hot chocolate alternatives since I believe dietary changes are the key to long-term success. I keep a track of my blood glucose with a FreeStyle Libre 2 CGM which has really helped me become aware of what I consume. Anyway, from June-early September, lost 33 lb, completely off injectable insulins and oral pills like Metformin. Every now and then I stumble on the dietary front. But perseverance has helped me continue on my low-carb journey.
  • @JaGoMo7
    Controlling for time of day is very important. After wearing a CGM for almost a year one of the biggest things I noticed was that the later in the day that I ate carbs, the worse my blood glucose spike would be. I think it's cool to test, but amount of sleep also has a giant effect on blood glucose response, so controlling for that is important too. As well as what you ate earlier. So, doing the test for your first meal of the day, with the same amount of sleep, at the same time of day, would be the ideal way to test this.
  • @bobbyboe
    Thank you for you honesty. I had the same negative results on vinnegar in my testings. I am glad that it looks like there is more to it... because I couldnt almost believe when I had first seen my results (although propely done in prepared isolation and and same repetible conditions.)
  • @aikoshimada3167
    This is such a great experiment! Thank you! Can you please do the same with mulberry leaf tea? I heard it really helps with the blood sugar spikes, but it would be worth testing!
  • Iam diabetics last 10 years. Recently I started a diet based on glycemic index or glycemic load of food .I have got amazing results just in one month.. your some videos on this subject also helped me .Thanks ..
