My point was that it didn't HARM him. He took it every day for many, many years. I wasn't implying that the ACV was 'responsible' for his long healthy life, though I am sure it contributed to it. > I have never seen distilled vinegar, only naturally brewed > and pasturised.

No, but pasteurized is just as bad...all of the enzymes, and most if not all of the vitamins and minerals have been destroyed by the heat, and it is these constituents that are it's health promoting qualities. >> So, people, do your own research and make up your OWN >> minds... > Indeed. > Thanks for the info.

Dr Braggs book doesn't mention anything about the acid/alkaline aspects of it. I do know that many things that are acidic outside the body, are alkalizing once ingested, but I don't know if this is the case with ACV.
