Apple cider vinegar, or cider vinegar, is a vinegar made from cider,[3] and used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys.[4] It is made by crushing apples, then squeezing out the juice. The apple juice is then fermented by yeast which converts the sugars in the juice to ethanol. In a second fermentation step, the ethanol is converted into acetic acid by acetic acid-forming bacteria (Acetobacter species), yielding cider vinegar.[4] Acetic acid and malic acid combine to give this vinegar its sour taste.[3]

There is no high-quality clinical evidence that regular consumption of apple cider vinegar helps to maintain or lose body weight,[5] or is effective to manage blood glucose and lipid levels.[4]
