Generally, there are only two different colors of vinegar in China: white vinegar and black vinegar. In fact, many foods can be used to make vinegar. Strictly speaking, there are three kinds of vinegar according to the composition: wine vinegar, including sherry vinegar, champagne vinegar, etc., and the color varies with wine color, including red or white; Rice vinegar, including black rice vinegar, Redmi vinegar and white rice vinegar, varies in color due to beige; Fruit juice vinegar, including apple vinegar, pineapple vinegar, sugarcane vinegar, malt vinegar, balsam vinegar and coconut vinegar, is generally brown in color. Rice vinegar has been popular in China for more than 3,000 years, among which black rice vinegar has the highest nutritional content, which is called "the apple vinegar of the East" by western nutrition experts.
After years of research, American health expert Dr. Paul Bragg found that black rice vinegar, which is often eaten in Asia, is similar to popular apple vinegar in the United States in nutritional components. It is rich in minerals, a variety of effective amino acids, water-soluble fiber and a variety of vitamins, and its PH value is also very moderate, which plays a very important role in human health.
Dr. Paul Bragg said: "For some diseases, drinking apple vinegar or black rice vinegar reasonably while using drugs regularly will have good health care and treatment effects."
Arthritis patients can drink 1 cup of warm water (about150ml) with two teaspoons of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar and two teaspoons of honey three times a day to relieve joint pain.
Rich water-soluble fiber in apple vinegar or black rice vinegar can absorb fat and cholesterol, and various effective amino acids can also neutralize low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. People who are obese or have high cholesterol can drink more.
For patients with diarrhea, drinking 1 teaspoon of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar with 1 cup of warm water (about 50 ml) before meals can accelerate the excretion of toxins and maintain the normal flora balance in the digestive tract.
Apple vinegar or black rice vinegar can improve the detoxification function of the liver and improve the internal environment. It is recommended that people with insomnia, low mood and easy fatigue drink 3 teaspoons of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar before going to bed.
Patients with colon cancer and people with a family history of colon cancer should eat more water-soluble fiber, and the American Cancer Society also recommends drinking apple vinegar or black rice vinegar appropriately.
People who often do strenuous exercise are prone to muscle soreness caused by lactic acid accumulation. Drinking 1 teaspoon of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar with 1 teaspoon of honey 1 cup of warm water (about 100 ml) can accelerate lactic acid metabolism and relieve muscle soreness.
At the same time, Dr. Paul Bragg pointed out that apple vinegar or black rice vinegar is an acidic substance, which will create a good acidic environment for the body, but the acidic environment will aggravate the condition of patients with ulcers or stones, so such patients should drink it under the guidance of a doctor.

Biotechnology is the core of high-tech in 2 1 century. Based on life science, it designs and constructs new species or strains with expected characteristics through the characteristics and functions of organisms. Especially with the rise of functional health foods, people pay more and more attention to the development of various series of health foods and health drinks by using genetic engineering, plant cell culture and microbial fermentation technology, and McKinley apple vinegar has taken on the heavy responsibility of looking for alkaline health drinks with acetic acid in this era, singing all the way and stepping onto the big stage of disputes in the beverage industry.
Edible vinegar, a little-known health care function
Vinegar, a traditional sour condiment in China, is made from grain, sugar or distiller's grains and fermented by acetic acid yeast. According to the different raw materials, there are rice vinegar, sweet and sour vinegar and wine vinegar, and there are also vinegar diluted with pure acetic acid, that is, artificial vinegar.
Vinegar has its unique function in cooking. Putting vinegar in cooking can soften plant cellulose, increase the color, aroma and taste of food, improve digestion, and help protect vitamin C in food (because vitamin C is relatively stable under acidic conditions). Cooking small ribs and fish with sweet and sour can dissolve their bones and promote the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus by human body. People suffering from low-acid gastropathy (low gastric acid secretion, such as atrophic gastritis) often use vinegar as seasoning, which can not only stimulate appetite, but also treat diseases.
It has been proved by people's long-term practical experience and experts' research that drinking vinegar brewed from grain for a long time is of great benefit to people's health and can delay and eliminate fatigue. Help digestion and enhance the bactericidal ability of gastrointestinal tract; Enhance liver function; Fitness and weight loss, beauty and skin care.
Apple vinegar, a nutritious healthy drink.
Nutrition experts have long called for "the content of B vitamins in brewed vinegar is equivalent to that of vegetables, and various minerals are also quite rich. It can be said that if used as a beverage, it is much better than soda and cola." This refers to the use of flavored vinegar as a beverage, while apple vinegar beverage is specially produced as a beverage. It not only has the reputation of liquid apple, but also has all the advantages of brewing vinegar.
China's tradition is to brew vinegar with grain, but McKinley's apple vinegar broke this prohibition and pioneered the use of apples to brew vinegar. As we all know, some nutrients in apples are richer than grains, and the fruit flavor is more intense. Mckinley apple vinegar beverage is made of high-quality apple juice. The sugar in apple juice is fermented by yeast and metabolized into cider and other products. Then, the apple wine is oxidized and metabolized into apple vinegar by the unique acetic acid bacteria Shenmai 1 12-7 of McKinley Company. Then, the ester aroma of the two fermented substances is combined with the fruity aroma of apple. Therefore, when you taste McKinley Apple Acetic Acid Beverage, you will feel a sweet, rich and lasting fragrance, and the taste is very good, which completely changes people's impressions and feelings about vinegar in the past. Metabolites from the two fermentations of wine into apple vinegar are very beneficial to people's physiological functions, that is, it often expands the dependence between people and microorganisms, which is a bioactive substance that no health care drug can replace.
Substitute for carbonated drinks
In daily life, all kinds of meat, fish and eggs are acidic foods. Rice, white flour and barley are also acidic foods in the staple food. In the general food structure, if you don't consciously eat more vegetables and other alkaline foods, it will inevitably lead to a slightly acidic constitution, which is the root cause of the increase of various "rich diseases" in real life.
The general drinking beverage is carbonated beverage, the main component is citric acid, and the required water is soft water. It is easy to cause cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and other modern civilized diseases, while drinking hard water for a long time can greatly reduce the incidence of modern rich diseases, and drinking too much carbonated drinks is not good for the development of human bones, so drinking carbonated drinks made of soft water for a long time is not good for human health.
Vinegar beverage can not only achieve the functions of good taste and thirst quenching of general beverages, but also pay more attention to the nutritional effect on human body. The imbalance between sodium and potassium ions is an important cause of hypertension. The intake of sodium in daily diet is14g/day, while the intake of potassium is low. Acetic drinks contain more potassium ions and calcium ions that can inhibit hypertension, and more potassium intake is beneficial to the stability of blood pressure.
An alkaline beverage with acidic taste.
McKinley Apple Acetic Acid Beverage is an alkaline beverage which is acidic in taste (which is beneficial to the preservation of various nutrients and the promotion of calcium absorption), but alkaline after metabolism in the body, and has the function of neutralizing fish, meat, eggs, rice, noodles and other acidic foods.
The acidic food and alkaline food are not determined by the taste when eaten, but by the fact that the food contains metallic elements or nonmetallic elements. Most of the above acidic foods contain nonmetallic elements such as phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine, which metabolize negative acid radicals in the body, so they are called acidic foods. However, various vegetables and fruits contain metal elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, sodium, manganese and zinc, such as apples and tomatoes. Although they taste sour in the mouth, these organic acids are decomposed into carbon dioxide and water in the body, which can be excreted smoothly, and various metals are metabolized into alkaline salts that can neutralize various negative acids. Apple vinegar is rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron, so it is an alkaline drink with acidic taste, and its health care functions all come from it.
McKinley, March towards functional drinks.
Considering the nutritional balance, the first thing is the acid-base balance, because acidic constitution is the total root of "rich diseases", and various physiological functions, such as digestion, absorption, circulation, nerves, feelings, etc., require that they can be best played under slightly alkaline conditions, so people have been looking forward to the birth of a functional beverage!
Olympic champion's drink
The world's envy of the Olympic podium records not only the success and joy of athletes, but also the sweat and tears. Take Chinese athletes as an example. In the past, athletes' drinking water was cold boiled water+rice vinegar+salt to maintain the acid-base balance in the body. Athletes need to constantly ingest all kinds of animal-derived acidic foods to make the environment in the body acidic, and then stimulate the energy of the body to the maximum extent, so as to complete the training program. During the training process, a large amount of lactic acid is produced in the body, and the accumulation can reach 20 mmol. If alkaline substances are not supplemented to balance the acid and base in the body, it is absolutely impossible to complete the whole training. The so-called Olympic designated drinks in China are just drinks in a sense, such as Jianlibao and Nongfu Spring. It is not suitable for athletes to drink, which puts the development and research of alkaline drinks on the agenda!
Enlightenment from a small experimental field
Let's take a look at such a group of children, with an average age of 10 years old, who formed an amateur speed skating team under the leadership of Professor Sun Xianyong, former director of the Ice Education Committee of the State Sports Commission and head coach of Bayi Speed Skating Team. Professor Sun's training is by leaps and bounds, because it is better than straight line and step by step. Every child carries a can of McKinley children's drink every day to "quench their thirst". A child aged 10 can only lift his waist 1 time when he slides 2 1 0,000m at 1 hour. During the week of conditioning exercise after heavy load training, no one has sports injuries, and his physical function is constantly improved. The result of these four years' training is the crown of a team champion and the myth that an amateur team beats a professional team. It is these children who, while breaking their physical limits, never give in academically, and no one's academic performance drops. As Professor Sun said, what he wants to cultivate is a new generation of athletes with both culture and technology.
It is true that four years of hard training has contributed a lot, but what role apple vinegar plays in the heavy-load training of these children has not been monitored by us more quantitatively and vividly, that is to say, sports drinks are still a blank in China!
However, the results of this small experimental field in four years are obviously gratifying, but whether McKinley's apple vinegar beverage can live up to its mission and add chips for Beijing's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games remains to be seen!

Fans of the apple vinegar diet say that fermented apples contain pectin, which is believed to help reduce fat content. Therefore, all dieters need to do is to drink a few spoonfuls of apple vinegar before each meal, and that's all, and burn excess fat easily.
Using apple vinegar brewed from fresh apples to lose weight has been popular in the west for decades. As long as people who insist on drinking apple vinegar every day, they will have a good weight loss effect. This is a well-known fact, but drinking a lot of vinegar every day is really difficult for most people. First, vinegar is very hard to drink; Second: Simply drinking vinegar will cause too much acetic acid and upset the stomach.
The study of malic acid found that malic acid can not only lose weight, but also bring the following benefits to human body:
A, enhance digestive function;
B, reduce the level of harmful cholesterol;
C, enhance heart function;
D, lowering blood pressure (maintaining normal blood pressure);
E, maintain normal blood sugar level;
F, prevent the generation of cancer cells;
G, whiten the skin, keep the skin smooth and moist, and remove heavy metals from the body.
