A High Carbohydrate meal eventually gets absorbed but a recent study revealed that vinegar, which is a dilute solution of acetic acid, has the ability to blunt the expected rise in blood sugar at a rapid pace.
The acetic acid present in vinegar has the ability to suppress the activity of a specific carbohydrate digesting enzyme, disaccharidase.
After a sugary or high-carbohydrate meal, a sudden rise in blood sugar is observed, which triggers the release of insulin. This causes glucose to be removed from the blood and turned into fat, our storage form of dietary energy.
People consuming vinegar based diet have shown improved blood glucose level, while pre-diabetics had the best results.
The effects of vinegar can be helpful to those who have diabetes or are at a risk for developing it. It’ll be even better if people are encouraged to shift away from sugary foods and include more salad greens with vinegar-based dressings.

Now obesity increases diabetes riskJune 22nd, 2009 LONDON - Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered how obesity makes a person more prone to diabetes, and why thin people can become insulin-resistant. Led by Dr. Marc Montminy, a professor in the Clayton Foundation Laboratories for Peptide Biology, the study has shown how a condition known as ER (endoplasmic reticulum) stress triggers abnormal glucose production in the liver, an important step on the path to insulin resistance.
