 That includes eating chia seeds, or even taking some vinegar before each meal. vinegar works in a near-magical way to flatten blood sugar curves. I recommend taking black vinegar supplements. You can find them from Swanson Vitamins— they have one called the Kyoto Brand black vinegar supplement. It's an excellent supplement that has benefits that go far beyond blood sugar control. If you take chia seeds, vinegar or other high-fiber foods before consuming carbohydrates, you will have a much better blood sugar curve and you will avoid the worst symptoms of hypoglycemia. |

What About the Research?
Earlier I mentioned some "hard-core" research, and here it is: A recent study in Diabetes Care demonstrated that apple cider vinegar improved insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant subjects. Let me tell you how important this is: If you've read my other books—especially Living the Low Carb Life—you remember that insulin is an important hormone with multiple purposes that's made by the pancreas. Your body releases insulin when blood sugar goes up, as it does when you eat food, especially carbohydrates. |

| Apple Cider vinegar may be one of natures most potent detoxifiers against a variety of negative health conditions. Created through the fermentation of raw apples within wooden barrels, vinegar from apple cider is extremely acidic (with a pH around 2.8) and this may be the key factor of its amazing curative powers.
The greater the purity of the apples utilized in the fermentation process, the greater the health benefits and detoxifying power for you. |

| Apple cider vinegar is believed to have antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. There are entire websites devoted to uses for apple cider vinegar, which is one reason I'd like a few bottles with me if I were stranded on an island. Folk wisdom says it's useful for heartburn, arthritis, lowering blood pressure, aiding digestion, fighting yeast infections, detoxification, allergies, and even for weight loss. Proponents claim it helps boost immunity. Does it do all these things? Maybe. |

 The authors stated that "vinegar may possess physiological effects similar to ... metformin." (Metformin, the generic name for Glucophage, is a drug typically given to diabetics and prediabetics to increase insulin sensitivity.) Since insulin resistance is a feature of metabolic syndrome and often precedes diabetes, anything that makes the cells more sensitive to insulin and helps control blood sugar bears looking into. The authors concluded that "further investigations to examine the efficacy of vinegar as an antidiabetic therapy are warranted." Nutritionist and researcher Jeff Volek, Ph.D. |

| In fact, unpasteurized vinegar can contain as many as fifty different nutrients, including those that come from the original "starting" material the vinegar is made from (such as apples). But note well the term "unpasteurized." Remember that pasteurization is basically a process that subjects foods to tremendous amounts of heat. That has the "benefit" of destroying microorganisms, but it's a dubious benefit when it also destroys the heat-sensitive vitamins and enzymes that made it a good food to begin with. |

 Apple cider vinegar, nature's own drug-free anti-inflammatory, is rich in potassium, phosphorus and calcium, with lesser amounts of iron, chlorine, sodium, magnesium, sulphur, silicon and other trace minerals. This natural storehouse of good nutrients also contains amino acids, pectin and beta-carotene. Research centres and scientific studies around the world praise the preventive and curative powers of apple cider vinegar and we recommend that all asthmatics take a daily spoonful of it. |

 Using Too Many Condiments
Condiments such as refined salt, distilled vinegar, and most relishes, sauces, and seasonings are not real food because they contain toxins and very little, if any, food value. They cost the body energy and nutrients to digest and eliminate. As alternatives, some healthfood store condiments and raw or fermented vinegar may be used sparingly.

| That said, there are a lot of terrific things to be said about real, unpasteurized vinegar made from apples. It's nutrient rich, containing minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, natural organic fluorine, silicon, trace minerals, and pectin as well as many other powerful nutrients and enzymes. Over the centuries, oxymel—a combination of apple cider vinegar and honey—has been widely used to dissolve painful calcium deposits in the body, and for other health problems such as hay fever. |

| Unpasteurized vinegar can contain as many as fifty different nutrients, especially if the "starting" material is as rich in nutrition as apples. (Note well the reference to unpasteurized: Pasteurization destroys microorganisms, sure, but it's a little like throwing out the baby with the bath water. Pasteurization also destroys valuable heat-sensitive vitamins, enzymes, and organic acids like malic acid and tartaric acid, which are important in fighting body toxins and inhibiting unfriendly bacteria, and are some of the main reasons apple cider vinegar is a desert island cure in the first place. |

 If you miss salt, try vinegar, lemon, pepper, Mrs. Dash (in a variety of blends), Tabasco, or other hot sauces. If you still miss salt, try adding a little Bragg Liquid Aminos (available in health food stores), South River Sweet White Miso, or low-sodium tamari. Try to limit sodium consumption to less than 2,000 mg a day. Your choices are easier when you know the salt content of various seasonings. |
