Why do we pickle foods?
Eaten in moderation, it's fine to pickle and eat pickled food. It has been connected to health problems for three separate reasons: # The heavy salt used (high sodium) in pickling is bad for blood pressure. # The Nitrates used in commercial pickling have been linked consistently to stomach cancer. # Indirectly, but probably the leading association: In societies where pickling is used extensively, is it due to lack of fresh vegetables (and by extension, probably fruit) so that it's not the pickling per se, but rather what pickled vegetables, meat and fish are replacing in the diet.
Can pickles turn back into a cucumber?
No. You can pickle a cucumber (or other items like vegetables or even eggs), but this involves a chemical reaction which cannot be reversed. Most pickling solutions contain spices, salt or vinegar which chemically alter the item being pickled. It might be possible to remove some of the spices or pickling ingredients by soaking in water and rinsing, but you can never return a dill pickle, or other pickled cucumber, into a cucumber again.

What vinegar to use for pickling?
The commonest type of vinegar used for pickling is either distilled white or malt (brown). Use white vinegar if you don't want malt vinegar to darken the colour of the pickled items (hard-boiled eggs, whole or sliced onions, and other vegetables, etc). The vinegar used to pickle beetroot would not matter as the strong dark redness of the beetroot would override a malt vinegar.
