Thursday, June 24. Drinking pickle juice, but not against gout.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is touted as something which will cure almost every ill. Except cancer, the people who promoted it as a cure for cancer were halted by the FDA. When I tried it last time, it might have had a slight effect on my uric acid level, but not enough to matter.
So why am I trying it now? Actually, I am trying beetroots. Beetroots supposedly help lower your blood pressure (apart from tasting great), I often use them in my curries, as you may have noticed. And in Sweden, pickled beetroots is a common condiment (you can find them at IKEA). So why not combine two health benefits, and pickle beetroots in apple cider vinegar?
I did, and to add to the health benefit, I also added onion and ginger (in separate batches). They make an excellent complement to curry, maybe a liitle pungent but it works.
And now I am drinking the pickle juice. It does no harm and is rather refreshing. And it tastes much better than raw ACV. Let us see what effect it may have, if any.
