2. They Suppress Fat Genes
Exciting research indicates apple cider vinegar can influence specific genes involved in producing and storing fat. In one rat study, acetic acid was found to downregulate or suppress certain genes responsible for fat accumulation.
The main enzymes affected were PEPCK and AMPK, which play key roles in manufacturing fat and converting carbohydrates into fatty acids for storage as body fat. By inhibiting these enzymes, vinegar prevents dietary calories from being converted into body fat.
More research is still needed, but this gene-altering effect gives apple cider vinegar great potential as a fat-fighting supplement.
