VINEGAR
reality check
Apple Cider Vinegar | Balsamic Vinegar | White Vinegar | Rice Vinegar | Red Wine Vinegar | Malt Vinegar | Pickles | Vinaigrettes
Vinegar is often considered to be a healthy food to include in your
diet, especially apple cider vinegar. In truth, vinegar, even the best
kind, has a detrimental effect on the body and is best avoided if you
are trying to cleanse your body in order to heal a chronic illness,
symptom, or condition.
“Vinegar dehydrates the body on a deep, deep organ level. Vinegar
preserves poisons, trapping them in your organs—and not so that it can
then drive them out of your body. Toxins dehydrate us, as they require
an abundance of water to dilute them and eventually flush them out of
our cells so they can safely leave our organs without hurting us.
Rather than help flush out these toxins,vinegar allows toxins to
penetrate our cells and organs
because it sucks the water out of cells, and that even drives poisons
and toxins deeper into organ tissue.
Picture this: a jar of pickles, with cucumbers sitting in a bath of
water and vinegar. If the water in that jar had traces of fluoride,
lead, arsenic, pesticides, or any other variety of chemical poison, the
vinegar would bind onto those toxins, pushing them deep into the
pickles. We have water in our blood too. Toxins also float in it, and
it’s a good thing that the water is present, because normally, it’s
supposed to carry toxins along and flush them out. When we consume
vinegar, though, suddenly we’re the jar of pickles, and our organs are
the cucumbers getting pickled. The vinegar begins by separating the
toxins in our blood from the water clinging to them. This allows the
toxins to burrow into organs, glands, and connective tissue. Vinegar
also sucks water out of our cells, robbing us of deep hydration reserves
in organs such as the liver.
Apple cider vinegar is not exempt from this. Yes, ACV is more nutritious
than other vinegars, because it’s made from apples, which are
nutrient-rich. The fruit is in fermented form, though, and we can’t get
away from the truth that no matter the source, vinegar dehydrates the
body on a deep, systemic level, causing trouble by keeping poisons
inside the body when we’re trying to get rid of them.”
