Harmful effects of taking apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach
1- Difficulty controlling diabetes levels
Research suggests that apple cider vinegar may slow the rate at which food leaves the stomach. This may worsen symptoms of stomach pain and make controlling blood sugar more difficult for people with type 1 diabetes.
2- Reducing appetite
Apple cider vinegar may reduce appetite, but it may also cause nausea, especially when consumed in large quantities.
3- Low potassium levels
Medical research has attributed low potassium levels and osteoporosis to likely be caused by drinking too much apple cider vinegar.
4- Sore throat
The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar causes throat burns in children, as one woman suffered a throat burn after an apple cider vinegar tablet lodged in the esophagus.
5- Interaction with some medications
Some medications, including insulin, digoxin, and some diuretics, may interact with apple cider vinegar, especially when taken in excess.
