Question 1

can you use red wine vinegar to detox?

Accepted Answer

What is detox?: In the sense that doctors say "detox", no, vinegar does not accelerate removal of any toxins out of the body. There is also "cosmetic" detox which no one (including its practitioners) ever tried to test for any effect whatsoever.

Question 2

do you think i should put red wine vinegar on my pimple?

Accepted Answer

No: Before and after it ruptures / resolves without rupturing, soap and water. Remember it's a battleground between your white cells and some bacteria that got an advantage. Consider a trial of benzoyl peroxide even if you do not have bad acne.

Question 3

can drinking red wine vinegar burn fat?

Accepted Answer

Not really: First, drinking large amounts of vinegar can lead to possibly severe kidney damage, so do not drink more than what you would put on a salad or in a recipe at one time. As a small about as a dietary supplement, it has been hypothesized that vinegar supplements can burn endogenous stores of fats, but it does not.  It may be healthy in small amounts and break up undigested fats, but does not burn fat.

Question 4

can you use red wine vinegar for swimmers ear?

Accepted Answer

Acute Otits Externa: You should get an antibiotic ear drop with steroid from you primary care doctor. Vinegar with alcohol will not be as effective for swimmer's ear.

Question 5

can red wine vinegar get rid of an ear infection?

Accepted Answer

No: Sometimes vinegar in  an ear drop can help suppress fungal growth in the canal, but it creates a moist environment that causes other canal issues. It will also never reach the middle ear &amp; effect a true middle ear infection.

Question 6

could i use red wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar to get rid of a planters wart?

Accepted Answer

Neither will work: Vinegar of any kind does not treat warts. All vinegars have acetic acid, and it might be assumed it would help because one standard treatment for warts is bi- or trichloroacetic acid. But despite similar name, it&#x27;s a very different chemical. Could try OTC product like Compound W, but usually ineffective for plantar warts. See a dermatologist or other doctor for in-office treatment or prescription.

Question 7

what are the health benefits of having red wine?

Accepted Answer

Has antioxidants: There is evidence that those who have about 1 drink of alcohol a day have better health than those who don't drink at all or who drink larger amounts, with lower risk of heart disease, cancer & alzheimer's. Red wine may be the healthiest choice because it contains proanthocyanidans, which are antioxidant flavonoids. See http://www.Huffingtonpost.Com/2011/10/19/red-wine-health_n_1018934.Html.

Question 8

how much red wine should i drink each day to get the health benefits?

Accepted Answer

Well.............: Health benefits of alcohol intake include wine, beer and liquor (not including what you mix it in).  Red wine is not significantly better.  Studies show that people who drink 1-2 standard size beverages a day have better cardiovascular outcomes than those who do not.  One standard beverage is 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, or 1.5 oz liquor.  Any day with more than 2 is not as good, so more is not better.

Question 9

what are the health benefits of drinking red wine occasionally?

Accepted Answer

None: Alcohol is a poison and never did anybody any good, ever.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 10

drink 8 ounces (1.5 glasses) of red wine daily for health benefits per medical studies. can the long-term effects of this cause fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: depends on individual and other factors. 8 ounces daily is somewhat "generous" re: health benefits of wine.
