Does the thought of vinegar make you sour? Growing up, my mother would put apple cider vinegar on cooked spinach. Whenever I got a whiff, I would be instantly angered that someone would willingly subject me (and others) to the foulest smell in the universe. Dinner ruined.

I carried that hatred with me through college, avoiding all things vinegar.

Until I met someone who drank Bragg’s apple cider vinegar with the mother to help a hoard of health issues she had. HAD being the big word. Doctor after doctor couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. She had headaches and digestive problems. Soon she turned to natural remedies and found apple cider vinegar to work wonders for her health.

I tried it…well that is to say, I tried trying it. Couldn’t get past the first sip of the ice cold water with a splash of ACV (apple cider vinegar for short).
