The Health Benefits of Vinegar for Blood Glucose Regulation
Carol Johnston, a professor at Arizona State University, has been studying vinegar for 20 years and its effects on blood glucose levels. Vinegar can moderate the amount of glucose that enters the bloodstream after a high-carbohydrate meal. By blocking the digestion of starch, vinegar prevents the absorption of glucose, making it helpful for individuals with diabetes. The recommended dosage is one to two tablespoons of vinegar, diluted in a cup of water, taken with a meal.
