Probably not, but: Apple cider vinegar or any other vinegar is not needed for good health. Apple cider vinegar is not an FDA-approved medication, so its effects and side effects are mostly uncertain (due to a lack of good research). As with everything else in life, too much can become a bad thing. That means a tiny bit of any vinegar a day might be fine, but taking a lot can hurt the body.

See http://altmedicine.about.com/od/applecidervinegardiet/a/applecidervineg.htm for a summary of the available research. The website earthclinic.com is an interesting site where people report which home remedies have and have not worked for them. Apple cider vinegar is by far the most popular remedy on the site. See http://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/acvinegar.html for these reports.
