Dr. Patricia Bragg, an icon in the health food industry, is CEO of Bragg Live Foods and recently founded the non-profit Bragg Health Institute and the non-profit youth focused organization Bragg Health Kids. Studies have revealed a way to possibly reduce the blood-spiking effects of simple sugars.
How?
By adding a small amount of apple cider vinegar to meals.
Apple cider vinegar, also known as ACV, is fermented from apple cider that takes the sugar from the cider and breaks it down during the fermentation process to change it to vinegar.
In a 2005 study, researchers wanted to test vinegar's effect on blood sugar spikes after study subjects ate white bread.
Researchers found the subjects who drank the vinegar while eating white bread reduced postprandial (after-meal) responses of blood sugar and insulin.
