Daily Vinegar Beverage May Improve Mild Constipation, New Study Finds

A four-week randomized trial in Japan with 44 adults showed that a daily vinegar beverage (750 mg acetic acid per 200 ml) increased defecation frequency by about 1.2 per week vs placebo in people with mild constipation, suggesting vinegar could help bowel movements; however, experts say results are preliminary, and evidence-based constipation strategies (fiber, hydration, physical activity, pelvic floor therapy) remain primary and vinegar should be consumed cautiously due to acidity.

Small daily vinegar drink shows modest boost in bowel movements for mild constipation

A four-week randomized trial in 44 healthy Japanese adults with mild constipation found that a beverage providing 750 mg of acetic acid (vinegar) increased defecation frequency by about 1.2 additional bowel movements per week versus a placebo. Researchers caution the findings are preliminary and not a proven constipation treatment, and experts stress continuing with established approaches like adequate fiber and fluids. Limitations include the small sample size and the study’s beverage-form intervention, with funding from Mizkan.

Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Carbon Management.

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a novel catalyst that can convert captured carbon into acetic acid, a key industrial chemical used in the manufacture of paints, coatings, and adhesives. The process uses an electrolyzer to convert captured CO2 into carbon monoxide, which is then transformed into various molecules containing two or more carbon atoms. The new catalyst has a faradic efficiency of 91%, the highest for any multi-carbon product at a scalable current density, and is relatively stable, making it a promising alternative to traditional methods that rely on fossil fuels.

The Truth About Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss

Apple cider vinegar has some health benefits, including containing probiotics that are good for gut health, reducing some risk factors associated with heart disease, and being rich in essential minerals and antioxidants. It has also been connected with aiding weight loss by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing blood sugar spikes. However, more research is needed to confirm its weight loss benefits. It is recommended to consume no more than 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar daily and to dilute it with water to prevent tooth enamel erosion.
