Vinegar: Health Benefits, Risks & Safe Consumption


Question
Can you tell me all the health benefits and dangers of vinegar?

What type of vinegar is the healthiest?

Is it safe in pregnancy?

I have heard people drink it for weight loss and to induce miscarriages.  This isn't true, right?

What else should I know about vinegar?  I know it is acidic, so is there a certain limit per day of intake, and can it mess up our body's pH?

Do you suggest people take vinegar for any ailments? And how does it work?

Thanks. :)
