Gotta Brag about Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar
Mmmm mmmmmmmmmm so good and so good for you......
Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
And LOOK! It's a mood enhancer!
Mood Enhancement
As mentioned previously, apple cider vinegar taken before meals will help break down proteins into amino acids. Once broken down, the amino acids are able to fuel processes, like the formation of hormones in the body.
Aside from the creation of growth hormone, amino acids are also instrumental in the creation of tryptophan.
This is important because tryptophan plays a critical role in the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter found in the brain. Serotonin is one of our "feel-good" neurotransmitters.
Serotonin elevates mood and helps us to feel relaxed, both of which are extremely important for fighting off symptoms of anxiety and depression. The more we can assist in the creation of serotonin, the better. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression and anxiety.
As we move into the winter months, this becomes even more important as low levels of sunlight have a negative effect on serotonin levels. Low serotonin levels is also one of the causes of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I do a couple tablespoons of Braggs, some honey and a teaspoon of 40,000 Volts mixed in a glass of water after working out. Tastes so good and it just kicks ass.

Evidently if I keep drinking it I can burn all my bras
************************************************** ********************
Reprint from New Zealand Herald, New Zealand's largest circulation newspaper.
By Sarah Lynch
"I've never had a coke, never had a beer or vodka, and these," says American health crusader, Dr. Patricia Bragg, thrusting her fingers towards me, "are virgin nails, all 10 of them. I have never worn nail polish. I don't need a girdle and I don't need a bra."
I've come to visit this eccentric, bright 5' nutritionist to the stars during her New Zealand lecture circuit to see what she has to say that has millions of Americans following her advice. She's the author of 22 books, one which promotes three glasses daily of 1 to 2 teaspoons equally of raw, organic apple cider vinegar and raw honey in a glass of distilled water to keep old age at bay. (Over 5 million copies sold.) "I specialize in longevity," she tells me, and practicing what she preaches certainly seems to have worked for her; although it's hard to tell exactly how well because her age is a secret. She demonstrates how limber she is and shows me how she used to dance with Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Arthur Murray; all of whom she advised on how to stay healthy and fit. She says that good posture equals instant youthfulness! I realize that no matter what age, this tiny, colorful powerhouse has more energy than 100,000 slobs put together.
"I love being a Health Crusader sharing the miracles of healthy living," she says. She credits her father, Paul C. Bragg with starting the health-food movement in America after making a pact with God at 16 to do just that if he survived the tuberculosis that was killing him. She continues his work, traveling the world lecturing on the benefits of healthy eating, selling her Bragg Healthy Lifestyle books and promoting her Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar and her Liquid Aminos (Oprah swears by them).
Her simple you-are-what-you-eat-drink-breathe-think-and-do philosophy has earned her fans in high places. "Tom Selleck tells me I keep him 39," she reveals. "And Clint Eastwood sometimes feels like he's 18." She's even handed out nutritional advice to Madonna for her daughter Lourdes. "Madonna's a vegetarian and wants everything the best for her children." And Dr. Scholl, the world's most famous foot doctor? She kept him going till almost 100. "He said I have the most beautiful feet. No corns. No bunions. No problems whatsoever." And I have to say, the woman does have beautiful feet like a 16-year-old. And famous hotel founder, Conrad Hilton? She retrieved him at 80 from the hospital and kept him going almost another 20 years!
Back to this business of bras, though, which is worrying me. "I have never worn a bra and I am going to show you very truthfully," she says lifting up her shirt to reveal a pert bosom covered by what looks like a swimming costume. "Look at this," she says. "I don't need any silicone implants and I don't believe in them. Everything stands up by itself. Now what sort of bra have you got on?" Boy, she sure can move quickly for such a little person! She's now checking my bra and advising me on what kind of underwear to wear. "Oh, no, that's underwire. That'll be cutting off your circulation! Read the book on cancer and bra studies: Dressed to Kill.You will want to burn your bra and get a little chemise like I wear."

A tiny dose of acetic acid will do so much to break down proteins because there is no acid in the stomach
What a bunch of crock, but it sells drinks.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot

She's not a doctor and she inherited the whole snake oil business by marriage. Her age isn't a secret either, she's 85.

I'm going to go shower with my Dr. Bonners Magic soap now and if I get bored I can read the bottle with all it's wonderful Jeebus messages. Then when I get out I'm having some Braggs.
she may be stating it wrong but the article I cited was from an independent source and I do believe there are some benefits to Apple Cider Vinegar no matter how whacked out Momma Bragg may be. Anyhoo, the ginger drink is really yummy and goes a long way to quenching ones thirst so what the hell a bottle now and again should be okay. Seems better than most bottled drinks out there but as always moderation is key and if you've got a serious medical issue consult your physician.
Here is WebMDs take on it:

Like nearly all these claims they rarely hold up. The acid part is just plain stupid, and the pectin part, while it may have some validity is pretty marginal as well. There is a hell of a lot more pectin in many other products, jelly for one.
Some small studies have hinted that apple cider vinegar could help with several conditions, including diabetes and obesity.
you'll find some amazing claims. Apple cider vinegar is purported to treat numerous diseases, health conditions, and annoyances. To name a few, it's supposed to kill head lice, reverse aging, ease digestion, and wash toxins from the body.
Most of these claims have no evidence backing them up.
The first article cited is almost a joke, but is typical for the genre. Only Canada can come up with the title "registered holistic nutritionist."
But I agree, all things in moderation, including moderation. If you like it, fine, just don't expect your boobs to perk up anytime soon.

Yeah, I walked into that one but no. Not that I wouldn't mind being small. It would certainly make life easier and more comfortable. As for implants <shudder> why anyone would elect to have themselves cut open and have foreign bodies inserted in them is beyond me. Medical necessity is one thing (i.e. the pin in my leg) but for fun? No way. I'm okay with the hand I was dealt.

She's pretty kooky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Bragg
Second marriage[edit]
On March 31, 1976, Patricia Bragg, stating her father's name as "Paul C. Bragg" and her mother's maiden name as "Nettie Coward", her birth date as "April 29, 1946", her age as "30", and that this was her "first marriage" on the Application for Marriage License,[2] married James Cameron Gilroy (1954-1977) in Tujunga, CA. They were divorced approximately 5 months later, and Mr. Gilroy died the following July 1, 1977 at age 22.[3]
I love the taste of the vinegar. Not gonna pony up for the drink, however.
