Apple Cider Vinegar Is the Wonder Serum That Can Do Way More Than You Realized
It Lowers Cholesterol Levels
Lee explained that pectin, a complex carbohydrate and soluble fiber found in apples and their vinegar, is responsible for lowering cholesterol. "Pectin has many beneficial health benefits," she told POPSUGAR. "The way it works on cholesterol is that the LDL (bad cholesterol) binds itself to the pectin and is then carried out of the body as waste."
As noted by Brown, studies have shown that acetic acid reduces serum cholesterol and triglycerides in mice. "How that occurs has not been shown, but I suspect that it may be that the acetic acid makes the fats more readily bioavailable by turning fat globules into tiny microparticles," he said. Similarly, the vinegar may help dissolve fatty streaks and plaques from the walls of arteries, which further reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes.
