The fat-loss wonder that also does windows!
It is the only window cleaner I ever put on my salad. Now, it helps you shred fat, too!!!
Ordinary household vinegar -- used to make oil-and-vinegar salad dressings or pickles -- appears to turn on genes that help fight fat, researchers in Japan report.
Vinegar has been used as a cure-all for many ills for centuries. Modern medical evidence is slowly adding credence to some of the claims. In recent years, research has suggested that the main chemical in vinegar, called acetic acid, can help control blood pressure and blood sugar. The current findings suggest that vinegar might help a person lose weight or fight obesity. The researchers gave acetic acid or water to mice via a stomach tube. All were provided a high-fat diet to eat normally.
Researchers found that the mice fed the acetic acid (vinegar) developed up to 10% less body fat than mice who drank only water. The amount of food eaten by the mice was not affected.
It’s believed that acetic acid turns on genes that produce proteins that help the body break down fats. This action helps prevent fat buildup in body, and thwarts weight gain.
So consider finding a way to make vinegar a regular part of your diet. The easiest and most nutritious way is probably a daily salad with vinegar and oil dressing!
But if you choose to drink your vinegar mixed with water, drink it from the bucket BEFORE you wash your windows with it!
The findings are scheduled to be published in the July 8, 2009 issue of Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
