According to the results of a study, two tablespoons of vinegar taken prior to eating dramatically reduced insulin and glucose spikes in the blood that occur after meals. In people with type 2 diabetes, these spikes can cause major complications, including heart disease.

Vinegar's effects were comparable to those from antidiabetes drugs like metformin, researchers said. A follow-up study geared at testing vinegar's long-term effects also found that taking vinegar yielded a pleasant side effect: moderate weight loss. In the four-week study, half of participants took a two-tablespoon dose of vinegar prior to each of two meals daily, while the other half were told to avoid vinegar.

Participants taking the vinegar lost an average of two pounds over the four-week period, while weight remained constant in the non-vinegar group. And some participants taking vinegar lost up to four pounds.

I think it depends on your bloodtype because I have tried it before for my stomach, and it made me feel worse. But, there is books out there on how good it is for you. According to the bloodtype book that I read vinegar is not good for blood type A and thats what I am. So, there might be some truth to it. Just depends.
