Type “vinegar” into PubMed, the search engine comprising more than 27 million citations for biomedical literature, and 40,000 studies pop up. It took me a while to take it all in, but I’m so glad I did, as it’s something that has caused a shift in my own diet. I now try to add various vinegars every day.

This is the first of a five-part video series. See the other installments:

Since this video was originally published, I’ve got a ton of new videos on weight loss. See the best ones at    • Weight Loss  .

Due to its ability to boost the fat-burning enzyme, AMPK, I have a whole section on vinegar in my new book, How Not to Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/how-not-to-.... Vinegar is part of my 21-tweaks to accelerate weight loss, and I recommend incorporating it at every meal. You can find the full list on my free app – Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen – available for iPhone and Android.
