topicApple Cider Vinegar Blood Glucose Randomized Trial
claimThe pooled results using a random-effects model showed that daily ACV intake significantly reduced body weight [SMD: -0.39; 95% CI: -0.63, -0.15; p = 0.001; I 2 = 62%], BMI [SMD: -0.65; 95% CI: -1.05, -0.26; p = 0.001; I 2 = 83%], and WC [SMD: -0.34; 95% CI: -0.67, -0.02; p = 0.04; I 2 = 61%].
