Sixty Uses Of Vinegar, Part 4
SIXTY USES OF VINEGAR, Part 4
In its various forms, vinegar can be a healer, a disinfectant, a preservative, an acid, and a condiment. This list is pretty impressive considering vinegar is a byproduct of something gone bad.
All vinegar starts as alcohol, which is created through the conversion of carbohydrates to sugar. When alcohol ferments, it becomes acetic acid or vinegar. For example, a bunch of grapes deteriorates to become wine, then wine ferments into vinegar.
Vinegar has had its share of curative claims over the years. It was once thought to ward off the Black Plague and prevent scurvy. While these ancient "cures" are dubious, more modern claims are not. Recent medical studies have shown that vinegar can draw venom form a jellyfish sting and be used to detect cervical cancer.
Whenever vinegar is mentioned in these tips, it is referring to distilled white vinegar. If the tips call for another type of vinegar, the specific type will be noted.
