The trial was completed by a total of 28 overweight but otherwise healthy adults, who were split into two groups: one group taking two tablespoons of red wine vinegar twice daily, and the other group taking a daily pill with a very small amount of vinegar in it.

Group too small, overweight is a weird group to use because it doesn’t really apply to people. And there wasn’t a control

Overweight people aren't people?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago

Sure but my point was that an underlying health condition can impact a study and mean the results don’t apply to the general population

It could be as simple as vinegar is an appetite suppressant so their mood boosted as their diet was better

Eating salt and vinegar chips is the biological equivalent of scrubbing your digestive tract with a wire brush, and this is exactly what I deserve.

I’ve heard of people being told to drink vinegar to try and pass a THC test.

Of course. If I add vinegar to anything it has a surprising effect.

[–] lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

An effect that becomes less surprising with repetition. At some point, it's no longer a "surprising effect" but an entirely expected one.

The country with the highest per capita consumption of vinegar in 2018 was the Netherlands, with 3,108 liters per 1,000 people

This checks out. As we all know, the Dutch only inflict depression, they’re never depressed themselves.

Unfortunately most chip companies don’t actually use salt and vinegar directly, they use sodium diacetate and sodium acetate which when combined produce the salt and vinegar flavouring we know.

[–] grozzle@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

is that to avoid using liquid vinegar?

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, basically. You get the same flavour but in a powdered form. Imagine opening a bag of chips and getting a soggy mess of liquid vinegar. It would be chaos. Its probably cheaper too, but I don’t know shit about chip manufacturing.

Apple cider vinegar (unpasteurised) gang here, love the stuff!

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

It'll cure what ails ya.

Somehow. Doesn't matter what it is. Miracle cure, yessiree.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Hmmmm... A quick pickled depression you say

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

And suddenly salt and vinegar chips will increase in prive by a factor of 100.000

If this is true then how come Britain is depressed as fuck?

[–] averyminya 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hey now, it alleviates depression, it doesn't cure Britain.

Also perfect for going in a sarnie
