0 stars for the book, a few stars for ACV,
By
This review is from: Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System (Paperback)
The useful information on ACV in this book could be summarised on a single page. All you really need to know is that having a teaspoon or two of unfiltered apple cider vinegar with meals can aid digestion.I'd read a tiny bit about ACV in a few health books and wanted to know more so I ordered this book from my local library. But in the end I got a lot more information in those brief book mentions of it! This book is weirdly put together. It is like someone got lots of one and two page advertorials for Bragg ACV products and joined them together to be sold as a book. This isn't even remotely a properly written or researched health book. The book lacks even the most basic information about how ACV works and why. The language used in the book isn't of a professional tone and assumes the reader is not very bright or well read. The information is so poorly laid out and presented, and the content is so sparse and all along you feel you are being sold something. It is more like a religious type of preaching than a scientific sharing of information. It is very heavy handed. There is also a far bit of actual Christian preaching in the book too. I also wasn't at all sold on the dietary information in this book either, as I disagree that all of us or even most of us do well on a very high carb diet or a mostly raw diet. It is just not true that raw foods are digested better than cooked ones as the book Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats (among others) explains. Fasting also isn't for everyone and I very much doubt ACV will have any effect at all on your weight. ACV isn't a cure-all but it is a good product and it can absolutely help digestion. It is essential for me when I eat something that has a significant amount of fat in it; it really helps. Bragg's makes a quite good ACV product too as far as I am aware. But this book is beyond awful. There are so many other excellent health books out there, I am disappointed my library wasted money on this one. Instead of buying this 'book' check out real health books such as Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats and Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats and Real Food: What to Eat and Why and many others.

Prove them now...give it a try!!,

This review is from: Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System (Paperback)
This book is full of information about a product that has been around for centuries, and will not do you any harm. My husband and his whole family have lived on Zantac, Prilosec, Tums, with not much relief..just more drugs. When I heard about cider vinegar (from another book) I told my husband to try it; he didn't think there was much to it. Then, I bought the Bragg Amino Acids from my health food store and this book on Apple Cider Vinegar. This time, I just started giving him the vinegar honey drink twice a day for a week. He noticed SIGNIFICANT changes in his digestion and has been able to cut back on the Tums, etc. What he didn't realize is that he was LACKING enough stomach acid, and the pills were reducing his acid even more!!! The Braggs aren't the only ones who know about cider vinegar and it's benefits. I've read books by James Balch MD (Prescription for Nutritional Healing), and M. Ted Morton (Your Health, Your Choice), and they concur on the use of vinegar for indigestion. The Braggs just take the information and expand on the use of vinegar. The Braggs are vegetarians (I am not), but I still incorporate their advice and wisdom. They are living testimonies to what they teach, and I've learned that prevention if far easier than any "cure"!

Unprofessional and Insensitive,
By Laurie Sawyer (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System (Paperback)
I work for a Natural Health Product company, and recently purchased this "book" in order to better understand the popularity of Apple Cider Vinegar. This book lacks relevant, well supported information on the mechanism of action of the product and contains mere testimonials from the authors alone. I was appalled at the language used from authors that claim to have Ph D's. The language used is completely unprofessional and in fact insulting to many readers, especially given that the product is mostly used for weight loss. I quote "[When you see fat people walking around, it is likely that they have stuffed too much fuel into their bodies]". This is only one of the many displays of unprofessional language used within the book. Also, it should be noted that this "book" contains many prayers, which I found to be completely inappropriate to the topic and offensive given its Christain basis. Frankly, I have no idea how this book was ever approved for publish; any affiliation to this "book" should be considered a great embarassment by any reputable publisher. To the potential readers of this "book" I would say, don't waste your time.
