Generally speaking, edible seasoning vinegar has a higher acidity, about 3~5G, so it is difficult to drink directly. Apple cider vinegar, on the other hand, is emphasized as a daily healthy drink, so its acidity is lower, about 3~5G. About 1G. As for the production method, general edible vinegar is usually chemically synthesized into glacial acetic acid and then diluted with water. The ingredients are almost all acetic acid; apple cider vinegar is made by adding fruit juice to the vinegar solution. Due to the addition of fruit juice, malic acid and citric acid are added. The content of vinegar will be higher than that of edible vinegar. Various healthy vinegars on the market claim various health benefits. For example, plum vinegar claims to improve liver function, soften muscles, has quick effects on muscle and bone aches, and is curative for circulatory and respiratory diseases (such as asthma); lemon vinegar claims to be drunk in the morning. It helps the large intestine contract and expel feces, making people feel refreshed. Drinking it before going to bed can help you sleep; apple cider vinegar can enhance physical strength and is beneficial to the health of the elderly. However, how real are these health benefits? In fact, at present, some health benefits are simply exaggerated. For example, some people think that drinking vinegar can change the pH of the body. In fact, this is misleading. The pH of the human body is closely related to the action of various enzymes. Moreover, the human body itself has a mechanism to maintain a fixed pH value. It is basically unfeasible to rely on vinegar to change the pH value of the human body. In addition, the main acidic component of vinegar is acetic acid, or together with malic acid, citric acid, etc., these components are indeed necessary for the human body in the respiratory metabolism process; however, as long as the diet is balanced, most people can get enough from food or fruits. Ingestion, otherwise the human body can produce similar compounds on its own from the metabolic process, and it does not have to be obtained by drinking vinegar. Although current human experiments have confirmed that adding vinegar to the diet can lower blood sugar levels after meals, so The required amount is just the amount of vinegar in salad dressing, and there is no need to take in extra, or even drink too much. Because when the human body consumes too much acetic acid, the body will synthesize fatty acids and store them; and it is not suitable to drink vinegar on an empty stomach to prevent excessive gastric acid from damaging the stomach wall. In fact, until now, there is no scientific literature proving that drinking more vinegar is good for health. The health effects of vinegar are generally spread among folk remedies or personal cases; especially the main ingredients of vinegar
- Acetic acid, since it can be fully obtained in general food or fruits, or the body produces it by itself, so there is really no need to spend more money to buy so-called "apple cider vinegar" to drink
