Apple Cider Vinegar Diet: Pros, Cons and More

Insulin Sensitivity and Skin Health

Diabetic people may also find apple cider vinegar beneficial because of its effects on insulin sensitivity.

A study in people with insulin resistance [5] found that groups given 20 ml of apple cider vinegar before consuming high carb meals recorded a 34 percent increase in insulin sensitivity compared to groups offered placebo drinks.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that apple cider vinegar improves skin health and texture. According to these reports, topical application of apple cider vinegar can help clear acne. There is no scientific evidence to back this up.

Research has disputed claims of apple cider vinegar’s effectiveness as a treatment for skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis. On the contrary, the direct application of vinegar irritated the skins of many participants in one study [6].
