Recent research was published in the Journal of Functional Foodsby Dr. Carol Johnston, Samantha Quagliano and Serena White of Arizona State University on the use of vinegar to manage blood sugar levels.
According to a foodnavigator-usa.com article on the study, the scientists determined that daily consumption of an 8 oz. glass of “Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Drink Sweet Stevia” for 12 weeks led to a significant reduction in fasting blood sugar levels as compared to the control group. The article also notes that the researchers advised, “Purposeful integration of vinegar or acetic acid into the food matrix, beyond the standard dressings and sauces, may facilitate reductions in blood glucose concentrations in both those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and those at risk for this disease.” To read the article , please use this link.
Staff is in the process of obtaining a copy of the study. Additionally, Dr. Johnston has agreed to present her research during VI’s 2014 Annual Meeting in Coconut Grove, Florida.
