Could Vinegar Be The Next Big Fat Fighter?

I love dousing my salads with high-quality extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We all know the amazing benefits of olive oil in our diet by now, but vinegar may also play an important role in maintaining a slimmer figure.

A brand new animal study has found that the acetic acid in vinegar may actually suppress body fat accumulation. The research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry compared mice who ate a high-fat diet. The ones given acetic acid developed 10 percent less body fat compared to the mice who did not.

Researchers concluded that vinegar works at the genetic level, increasing fatty oxidation and thermogenesis in the liver.

Vinegar was also linked to weight control in a 2005 study when it was found to help dieters eat less and reduce their cravings.

This unassuming yet flavorful condiment may do more than dress up your salad, it may also be a key to shedding some unwanted pounds.
