vinegar

Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid and trace chemicals that may include flavorings. Vinegar typically contains 5–20% acetic acid by volume. Usually the acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol or sugars by acetic acid bacteria. There are many types of vinegar, depending upon the source materials. Vinegar is now mainly used in the culinary arts: as a flavorful, acidic cooking ingredient, or in pickling.
As the most easily manufactured mild acid, it has historically had a wide variety of industrial and domestic uses (such as its use as a household cleaner).

    Cider vinegar. acid vs. alkaline digestion.

    I was watching a TV program on Monday night called "Food Unwrapped", which goes behind the scenes of food production and looks into common food myths. They ran a piece about cider vinegar and it's ability to prevent weight gain in some people, which it would seem is scientifically proven. I was...
