Hate those. Taste awful and mess up your mouth

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

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

While I understand your point that it is a weird group to test on,

Overweight people aren't people?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 hour 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

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.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

As a Ferrari fan I can confirm.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago

I feel like you've done that to yourself. The Dutch are barely involved.

[–] x00za@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I wash my clothes with vinegar.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Wait – is this how we prevent our socks committing suicide in the dryer?

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.

[–] PixelTron@lemm.ee 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It'll cure what ails ya.

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

[–] M137@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What if my ailment is feeling sick after ingesting apple cider vinegar?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 hours ago

You're probably miracle-intolerant.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Gitcha some of them all-dressed chips for a little flavor with your vinegar.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Is that effect making your depression worse? I think drinking vinegar might make me more depressed.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I take a shot of vinegar in the morning sometimes to shock paddle me awake. But the world hasn't changed so

1 - popsci headlines about food are always bogus

2 - skimming through the article, it suggests that the Vit B in vinegar is the suspected cause

3 - substituting vinegar for antidepressants (which the article does not state, but seems to ~~elude~~ allude to) is a bad idea

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] 10_0@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 hours ago

Looks real to me, I only read the headline

[–] june@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 hours ago
[–] 4_degrees@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

This could explain my love for pickles. My body's looking out for me, I guess

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 20 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah I've never been mad because I ate some salt and vinegar chips

[–] lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Only at first. Unless you've got that Memento or 50 First Dates shit going on..

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

The vinegar situation where I am atm has kind of made me more depressed? Some of it is straight up ass, and the salt & vinegar chips have been pretty terrible across the board. I love vinegar, too, so I'm very sad. Maybe the vinegar has to taste good to work.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Also perfect for going in a sarnie

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 34 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 4 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 36 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Instructions unclear: still depressed and smell like vinegar.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Its a surprising effect, no one said it was a good surprise!

[–] aaaa@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing about this outcome was a surprise

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

The surprise is there is no surprise?

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Was your depression surprised though?

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

No, but the vinegar surely was.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 hours ago

Hmmmm... A quick pickled depression you say
