I have read so many websites saying to avoid tomatoes and citrus, but eat pickles and vinegar for dehydration. isn't vinegar acidic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is acidic. Pickles are made by placing cucumbers in brine or a salt solution. It's the salt that's used to help you hold onto water.
