A scientific study examined the effectiveness of vinegar in treating and combating stomach bacteria. It was noted that consuming diluted vinegar may help combat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is more commonly known as stomach bacteria. Consuming vinegar can help eliminate stomach bacteria .
Vinegar contains acetic acid, and this type of acid can create an environment in the stomach that may hinder the energy metabolism of the stomach bacteria, and may also hinder the respiratory processes of this bacteria, which may lead to paralysis of the bacteria .
Therefore, consuming vinegar may significantly reduce the severity of the annoying symptoms that H. pylori can cause in an infected person. Because vinegar's effect on bacteria can be rapid, it leaves no room for the bacteria to spread to another location or develop into a new strain capable of resisting the vinegar.
