Apple Cider Vinegar The Magic Potion In Your Life
All vinegars contain an active ingredient known as acetic acid, which means all varieties (including pasteurized, unpasteurized, organic, and different flavors) are pretty much the same, according to Johnston, who personally prefers red wine vinegar over apple cider vinegar because it has a smoother taste. The only difference is that darker-colored vinegars may contain trace amounts of antioxidants found in dark colored fruits (like red grapes, pomegranate, etc.), she says.

If you want to experiment with drinking vinegar to soak up any of the benefits listed below, the safest and most effective way is to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinegar to one glass of water and drink it on an empty stomach immediately before eating. (Researchers don't know which foods could cancel out acetic acid's effects, so you want to make sure it beats any food into your stomach, and avoid combining it with other compounds such as salt.)

Don't even think about shooting it straight up (or applying it topically) without first diluting it in at least 1 cup of water per tablespoon. Your esophagus isn't designed to withstand all that acid, so it's all too easy to inadvertently inhale trace amounts of it while trying to swallow. This could send acid into your lungs, where it can cause pain that Johnston likens to sunburn in your lungs.

And don't overdo it. In large amounts, "acetic acid is a poison and can have toxic effects," Johnston says. "You'll see some benefits with one tablespoon, and significant effects with two, but there's never a time when more than that is better."

Vinegar's effectiveness depends on the source of your heartburn: If you have erosive heartburn caused by lesions in your esophagus or stomach ulcers, a dose of vinegar will only aggravate the problem. But if your heartburn stems from something you ate, adding acetic acid to your stomach can help neutralize the acid in there and help fix the problem, providing you with at least a little bit of comfort.
