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 pickle juice help you lose weight?
Pickle juice is vinegar and salt. It won't burn calories, but it will put you off your food, so it could function as an appetite suppressant. I wouldn't advise it, though. It might also make you throw up, which is unhealthy.

I was taken back by how bad this answer is. I had to make an account to improve it.
Vinegar has no salt at all, unless salt is added to it, such as in pickle juice.
And with the insane (and increasing) amounts of salt contained in any food product that's not farm fresh, even adding a dash of salt for seasoning should be done with some mindfulness. But anything that's "high in salt" (or high in salt times two as this answer suggested) should set off alarms, not provide comfort in your dietary choice.
That said, pickles are a great food if you have one or two. They are low in calories, fat free, source of fiber and antioxidants, have all sorts of nutrients and count toward your daily veggie intake. A healthy snack, appetizer, topping, filler, or side. Made from cucumbers, they are also beneficial for digestion. They are preserved which means salt, but not highly processed.
The spices have excellent health benefits too, and the juice is infused with all their goodness. Garlic is a natural antibiotic. Dill also regulates bacteria. Mustard seeds help with digestion. And vinegar, which most pickles contain, is antibacterial, helps with the immune system, regulates digestive disorders, high blood pressure, weak bones, stiff joints, and more. Excellent for older people.
Sounds like a wonder food. And maybe it is, but anything made with a variety of natural ingredients and is not processed, usually is too. My rule is "if they didn't make it this way 100 years ago, it's not food." Watch out for chemical preservatives on the label. Great pickles have simple ingredients: Cucumbers, water, vinegar, dill, garlic, salt, spices, and very little sugar, in that order.
Pickles however are one of the few preserved food items that retain many benefits without introducing bad-for-you qualities. The salt is something you should keep a tab on though. Two pickles will give you about 10% of your daily salt intake. 4 tablespoons of the juice on a salad might add another 8%. By itself it's nothing to worry about, but combined with canned/processed foods and you're pushing 130-200% of the recommended dose of sodium in a day - that is if you never add salt to season your food.
The juice, specifically, is good for you as I mentioned. Many people like to take a few sips from the jar, which is also fine. But everything in moderation. Chugging a couple of gulps of pickle juice at each visit to the fridge can be bad for you. And drinking a cup of it in one go will probably make you feel sick for an hour unless you've conditioned your body to ignore the fact it doesn't like it when you do that. Dilute it by drinking 2 times as much water to flush it out.
The healthiest foods can turn against you when consumed in excess. And consuming too much of one thing means you're not getting the benefits from other things. Spread it out, change it up. There's a biological reason we get tired of eating the same thing. If you love pickles, have 1-2 a day. Have a sip of the juice to get the taste. But don't drink the whole jar.
Can you eat pickles while pregnant?
Some people say that its not good to eat pickles while pregnant, but I see many pregant women eating them so I think that you can eat pickles but don't eat a lot because it might make you ill.
Are you allowed to eat pickles while pregnant?
I had different food cravings with each of my three pregnancies: a certain kind of pizza your could get from only one place (45 min from our home); Cincinnati Chili with extra onions - every weekend; and raw cauliflower and cucumbers in Italian dressing, respectively.
Everyone is different. And you don't have to be pregnant to have weird cravings either... last summer I couldn't get enough pistachio ice cream, so every weekend my family would drive 25 minutes to the only ice cream place in our area where I find it -- of course, for some reason none of the local groceries stocked it at the time. Go figure.
AnswerI certainly didn't, but everyones different. I craved Wendy's smoothies ALL the time and couldn't go a day without one. :) AnswerLOL A common stereotypical craving... I DIDN'T actuallly.. but I did crave... I think ppl generally use pickles and chocolate ice cream as an example to show how odd the cravings can get... but I like that stuff NORMALLY lol... I craved bologna which I didn't even like (until then).. then it changed to fruity flavors (mostly cherry popsicles, cherry koolaid, and jellos) and frozen vegetables (cooked of course lol) So... some women crave... some don't... but we all crave DIFFERENT stuff... no one food is "common" to pregnancy.. just stay healthy and drink LOTS and LOTS of water .. cause those UTI's are killer! Pam Answersometimes...UNNGH!! MUST...HAVE...PICKLES!!!!Answer

I'm pregnant now and craving pickles all the time. This is my second pregnancy. My first pregnancy I craved lima beans and guacamole. Now I cannot stand either of the items. lol.
That is a question that is entirely dependent on personal preference. The "pickling" process usually refers to a combination of herbs and spices combined with an acidic liquid, usually vinegar, that preserves the food. Most "pickles" are vegetables but many meats, like eggs, fish or sausage, can be pickled, as well. However, when Americans refer to "pickles" they are usually referring to pickled cucumbers. There are many types of pickles. Bread & Butter pickles will be sweet and sour. Regular pickles are just sour with lots of dill. Kosher pickles have garlic mixed in with the dill and some coriander (cilantro seeds). Some pickling spices also include different types of spicy peppers (black, white, red) as well. Personally, I prefer kosher dills over traditional, when I'm eating them by themselves. However, I like dill pickles on sandwiches and burgers for the added sour depth. Bread & Butter pickles can add a lot of flavor to a salad, like macaroni or potato.
What would happen if you only ate pickles?
Pickles have a good amount of salt---so watch how many you eat. However, they are also good for diets. You don't need to overload on them, but they're a good snack to munch on before a large meal!
