Lesley Anne - I think you might really enjoy reading this post on goneraw. It's written by a raw fooder who has been raw for three years. He runs raw potlucks in england, and a raw food delivery service. He doesn't sell products, have a hidden agenda, etc etc. He's incredibly healthy, and his website is http://www.purelyraw.com/
Anyway, he wrote a wonderful post on goneraw about not getting too caught up in what raw gurus say.

I have a couple raw food books and they sometimes call for Bragg's apple cider vinegar. I'm not sure about how it's made or anything like that though.

I use vinegar, I just don't find any harm in a small amount, it seems to help my digestion as well

thats to make cider though, eh, not cider vinegar? im not too keen on the sounds of adding 5 lbs of sugar but i wouldnt think that would be added for vinegar? i may be wrong though!

so you think even ACVs that are labeled "raw" have been made out of cooked apples?

I am not saying that I never, at any point in my "raw journey", enjoyed (and abused) ACV. I am merely providing the reasons why it is not fit for human consumption.

That's a good point. I wonder if it causes any harm in the digestive system, though. I would like to know some kind of scientific evidence for or against consuming it.

I know a lot of people consume it for weight loss and I haven't heard any negative side effects of it.

Any vinegar, raw, Apple Cider, rice, whatever, is diluted Acetic Acid. In chemistry class, Acetic Acid is in a bottle with a skull and crossbones label on it. Would you put something with a skull and crossbones label into your body? A poison is a poison, regardless of dosage.

I'm pretty sure ACV has malic, not acetic acid. This makes it unique among vinegars. Correct me if I'm wrong. I read it in a Daniel Reid book.
