What Are the Dangers of Drinking Vinegar?
The idea that vinegar, a liquid produced by the action of yeast and bacteria on juices made from fruits or grains, might have medicinal properties isn’t a new one. Vinegar was used to treat stomach upset in the Civil War and, further back, by Hippocrates as an antibiotic, nutrition consultant Beth Fontenot reported in “Nutrition Forum.” However, drinking vinegar can have unpleasant and dangerous side effects. Never drink vinegar without first discussing it with your medical practitioner.
