Apple cider vinegar is touted as a major source of probiotics, but there is one catch. The evidence for some of those claims is overblown based on very limited studies by today's standards. Most of those studies have been small and most of them have only been in rats. Apple cider vinegar has been used in folk healing for ages. Its biggest boost of popularity in the last century mostly came from Paul Bragg.
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.)
