In the US, we have genuine real actual historical figure, Johnny Appleseed. He starts planting these seeded apple trees that give these like gnarly ass apples and folks really develop a taste for fermented products made with this particular kind of apple. There was a whole piece that I read about the history of health claims around apple cider vinegar and how it's been used. Like these super gnarly apples just like fermented beautifully apparently.
Health claims about apple cider vinegar are everywhere. But are they true? This week, we hop into the wayback machine for the story of America's first health influencer. (That's not true, but neither is anything else in this episode.)
