Throat Irritation
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) can cause throat irritation due to its high acidity. Consuming undiluted ACV can lead to a sore throat, a burning sensation, and difficulty swallowing. To minimize these risks, always dilute ACV with water—typically one to two tablespoons in a glass of water. Drinking through a straw can also help reduce direct contact with your throat. Additionally, avoid consuming ACV straight, and consider mixing it with honey to soothe the throat. If you experience persistent irritation, it’s best to reduce your intake or consult a healthcare professional. Proper dilution and moderation are key to enjoying the benefits of ACV without harming your throat.
