Lifestyle changes: Apple cider does have anti inflammatory health benefits. Nevertheless, most people fail to lose weight because they have difficulty adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Low sugar intake, consume healthy fats and protein like fish chicken and turkey. Green leafy vegetables should makeup at east 1/4 of your diet. 30-60 mins of exercise 5 days/week. Minimal alcohol intake and 7-9 hrs sleep.

No, but...: No, but it's great on the salads you should be eating instead of higher calorie foods. Also increase your physical activity and exercise. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Unfortutately not: The claims for apple cider have limited proof, & it is an acidic irritant to the esophagus & interacts with various supplements & medications, leading to low potassium level (hypokalemia) and subsequent risks of: sudden death from abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia), low heart rate (bradycardia) with cardiovascular collapse, acute respiratory failure & death.
