Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize 15 to 30 milliliters of apple cider vinegar for effectiveness
The clinical trials that showed a positive effect typically used a dose of 15 to 30 milliliters of apple cider vinegar.
Recognize apple cider vinegar's lack of impact on LDL cholesterol
A meta-analysis of nine trials found that apple cider vinegar has no effect on LDL-C, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Lower triglycerides significantly with apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar's most significant benefit appears to be on triglycerides, showing an average drop of 33 points, which is larger than its effect on blood sugar.
Utilize apple cider vinegar to modestly lower triglycerides
While apple cider vinegar can lower triglycerides by 20-30 points, this is a modest drop for someone with very high levels, for example, from 400 to 370 mg/dL.
Recognize lack of impact of apple cider vinegar on insulin resistance
Based on the available data, apple cider vinegar had no statistically significant effect on HDL cholesterol, fasting insulin, or HOMA-IR, a key metric for insulin resistance.
Address publication bias to ensure accurate meta-analysis results
The positive findings of the meta-analysis could be skewed, as researchers failed to search databases for unpublished studies which often show no effect.
