Vinegar Trial

In the vinegar trial, participants consumed the standard meal described above with the addition of a dose of apple cider vinegar relative to their body weight (.3g/kg). The vinegar dose was mixed with the orange juice. Participants were instructed to consume the meal in under 10 minutes. After the meal, participants were restricted to sedentary activities (sitting, reading, playing games). Blood glucose readings were taken at baseline (pre-meal) and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after meal consumption using a commercial blood glucose meter and test strips. All measurements were taken, in duplicate by the same researcher.
