This 12-week pilot study examined effects of vinegar on markers of type 2 diabetes in at-risk adults. Participants (n = 14) ingested 750 mg acetic acid as a vinegar drink or a control pill (40 mg acetic acid) twice daily at mealtime. Blood glucose (fasting and 2-h postprandial) was recorded daily. Fasting blood collected at weeks 0 and 12 was analy...

... The content of organic acids changed during the production process of vinegar, and it showed the lowest content of organic acids during alcoholic fermentation with a gradual increase which was maintained during the second phase (acetic fermentation) [46]. It proved that these bioactive compounds exhibit several health benefits [24,[57][58][59][60][61][62]. Acetic acid as the main organic acid in vinegars is the key factor of numerous beneficial properties through the activation of the MAPK pathway, which induces reduction of blood glucose, increases glycogen storage, reduces triglycerides levels, increases insulin sensitivity, and decreases insulin resistance [18]. ...
