Methodology
GRADE-assessed Cochrane-methodology systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis of six interventional studies in 317 adults with type 2 diabetes.
Key Findings
Vinegar consumption significantly improved fasting blood glucose and HbA1c, with secondary reductions in total cholesterol and LDL after the intervention.
Conclusions
Vinegar can be incorporated into dietary advice for glycaemic control, with caution given the evidence base.
Limitations
Vinegar type and dose varied widely across studies, sample sizes were small, and the authors advise caution extrapolating to larger populations.
Supplements Studied
