In a small study done‚ it showed taking apple cider vinegar with a starchy meal slowed down stomach emptying significantly. It led to lowered blood sugar and insulin levels as well as the increased feeling of fullness. The higher the acidity of the vinegar‚ the more it lowered the blood sugar. In addition‚ it may promote fullness‚ which can decrease calorie intake as a result of delayed stomach emptying. Vinegar

carbohydrate-heavy dinner‚ triggers the pancreas to produce the hormone insulin. This hormone’s ‘message’ to the body is to take up the extra sugar into cells in order to bring blood sugar back to the target level‚ or set point. Once enough glucose has been taken up by cells‚ the pancreas will stop secreting insulin. This feedback loop can help in the opposite situation as well. If blood sugar levels are too low‚ the pancreas excretes glucagon‚ which carries the opposite ‘message’ by having cells release
