Anything can make you sick if you drink too much of it, even water. But no, drinking small amounts of vinegar are good for you. Especially the apple cider variety. Edited by JadarMBlado. The answer is not yes or no at this point. The answer is based on the individual. There is extremely little scientific evidence supporting the claim that ingesting apple cider vinegar has any healthful benefits to the human body. Theoretically, in fact, ingesting apple cider vinegar in any dose for an extended period can cause potassium deficiency, and bone loss. Vinegar itself is highly acidic with a pH value between 2.4 and 3.4 thus can degrade tooth enamel and the tissues of the throat and esophagus. Vinegar can alter insulin levels in diabetics leading to the possibility of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Vinegar has also been known to interact negatively with diuretics and laxatives. Now, again since there has been very little scientific evidence involving this issue it is not to say that there are NOT health benefits to apple cider vinegar. As with beginning any natural supplement, or diet, issues such as this should always be discussed with your personal physician prior to making any decisions. I suggest the person who answered this question prior to my intervention, research the question prior to providing answers to things they do not understand.
