Overview

• Influencer Dr Eric Berg, a chiropractor with 13.7 million YouTube subscribers, recommends diluting two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in water each night to help lower blood sugar and support weight loss.
• On August 18, 2025, Mirror, Surrey Live and Bristol Live published practical how-to guides on the bedtime regimen without presenting new clinical trial data.
• Articles connect the nightly drink to modest findings from a 2018 weight-loss trial and a 2023 type 2 diabetes study showing small reductions in body weight and hemoglobin A1c.
• Coverage explains that acetic acid may slow carbohydrate digestion, improve insulin sensitivity and blunt post-meal glucose spikes and the ‘dawn phenomenon.’
• Readers are advised to dilute vinegar, start with low doses and avoid drinking it immediately before bed to reduce risks of acid reflux and tooth enamel erosion, with NHS guidance underscoring that ACV is not an endorsed treatment.
