Methodology
Systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials measuring postprandial glucose and insulin area under the curve after vinegar intake with a meal.
Key Findings
Vinegar significantly lowered postprandial glucose AUC (SMD -0.60, 95% CI -1.08 to -0.11) and insulin AUC (SMD -1.30, 95% CI -1.98 to -0.62).
Conclusions
Vinegar can reduce post-meal glucose and insulin levels and may serve as an adjunct for glycemic control.
Limitations
Acute single-meal designs only, small crossover samples, varied vinegar types and meal compositions, and no evidence of long-term clinical benefit.
Supplements Studied
The pooled analysis of studies revealed a significant mean glucose and insulin area under the curve (AUC) reduction in participants who consumed vinegar compared with the control group.
Outcomes Measured
The pooled analysis of studies revealed a significant mean glucose and insulin area under the curve (AUC) reduction in participants who consumed vinegar compared with the control group.
