There are generally only two different colors of vinegar in China: white vinegar and black vinegar. In fact, many foods can be used to make vinegar. Strictly speaking, there are three kinds of vinegar: wine vinegar, including sherry vinegar and champagne vinegar. , and the color varies with the color of wine, including red or white; Rice vinegar, including black rice vinegar, Redmi vinegar and white rice vinegar, changes color due to beige color; Fruit juice vinegar, including apple vinegar, pineapple vinegar, sugarcane vinegar, malt vinegar, balsam vinegar and coconut vinegar, is generally brown in color. Rice vinegar has been popular in China for more than 3,000 years, among which black rice vinegar has the highest nutritional content, and is called "Oriental apple vinegar" by western nutrition experts.
After years of research, American health expert Dr. Paul Bragg found that the black rice vinegar that Asians often eat is similar to the popular apple vinegar in nutrition. It is rich in minerals, a variety of effective amino acids, water-soluble fiber and a variety of vitamins, and its PH value is also very moderate, which plays a very important role in human health.
Dr. Paul Bragg said: "For some diseases, drinking apple vinegar or black rice vinegar reasonably while taking drugs regularly will have good health care and treatment effects."
Arthritis patients can drink 1 cup of warm water (about 150 ml) with two teaspoons of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar and two teaspoons of honey three times a day, which can relieve joint pain.
Rich water-soluble fiber in apple vinegar or black rice vinegar can absorb fat and cholesterol, and a variety of effective amino acids can also neutralize low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. People who are obese or have high cholesterol can drink more.
For patients with diarrhea, drinking 1 teaspoon of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar with 1 cup of warm water (about 50 ml) before meals can accelerate the excretion of toxins and maintain the normal flora balance in the digestive tract.
Apple vinegar or black rice vinegar can improve the detoxification function of the liver and improve the internal environment. It is suggested that people who suffer from insomnia, depression and fatigue should drink 3 teaspoons of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar before going to bed.
Patients with colon cancer and people with a family history of colon cancer should eat more water-soluble fiber, and the American Cancer Society also recommends drinking apple vinegar or black rice vinegar appropriately.
People who often do strenuous exercise are prone to muscle aches due to lactic acid accumulation. Drinking 1 teaspoon of apple vinegar or black rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 cup of warm water (about 100 ml) can accelerate lactic acid metabolism and relieve muscle aches.
At the same time, Dr. Paul Bragg pointed out that apple vinegar or black rice vinegar is an acidic substance, which will create a good acidic environment for the body, but the acidic environment will aggravate the condition of patients with ulcers or stones, so such patients should drink it under the guidance of a doctor.

Biotechnology is the core of high technology in 2 1 century. Based on life science, it designs and constructs new species or strains with expected characteristics through the characteristics and functions of organisms. Especially with the rise of functional health foods, people pay more and more attention to the development of various series of health foods and health drinks by using genetic engineering, plant cell culture and microbial fermentation technology. In this era, McKinley apple vinegar took on the heavy responsibility of finding alkaline health drinks containing acetic acid, singing all the way and stepping onto the big stage of disputes in the beverage industry.
Vinegar, a little-known health function
Vinegar is a traditional sour condiment in China, which is made from grain, sugar or distiller's grains and fermented by acetic yeast. According to the different raw materials, there are rice vinegar, sweet and sour vinegar, wine vinegar, and vinegar diluted with pure acetic acid, that is, artificial vinegar.
Vinegar has its unique function in cooking. Putting vinegar in cooking can soften plant cellulose, increase the color, aroma and taste of food, improve digestion and help protect vitamin C in food (because vitamin C is relatively stable under acidic conditions). Cooking small ribs and fish with sweet and sour can dissolve their bones and promote the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus by human body. People suffering from low-acid gastropathy (low gastric acid secretion, such as atrophic gastritis) often use vinegar as seasoning, which can not only stimulate appetite, but also cure diseases.
People's long-term practical experience and experts' research have proved that drinking vinegar brewed from grain for a long time is of great benefit to human health and can delay and eliminate fatigue. Help digestion and enhance the sterilization ability of gastrointestinal tract; Enhance liver function; Fitness and weight loss, beauty and skin care.
Apple vinegar, a nutritious and healthy drink.
Nutrition experts have long called for "the content of B vitamins in brewed vinegar is equivalent to that of vegetables, and various minerals are also quite rich. It can be said that if it is used as a drink, it is much better than soda and cola. " This refers to the use of flavored vinegar as a beverage, while apple vinegar beverage is specially produced as a beverage. It not only has the reputation of liquid apple, but also has all the advantages of brewing vinegar.
China's tradition is to use grain fermented vinegar, but McKinley's apple vinegar broke the ban and created a precedent for using apple fermented vinegar. As we all know, some nutrients in apples are richer than grains, and the fruit flavor is more intense. McKinley apple vinegar beverage is made of high quality apple juice. Sugar in apple juice is fermented by yeast and metabolized into cider and other products. Then cider was oxidized and metabolized into apple vinegar by the unique acetic acid bacteria Shenmai 1 12-7 of McKinley Company, and then the ester aroma of the substances metabolized by the two fermentations was combined with the fruit aroma of apples. Therefore, when you taste McKinley apple vinegar beverage, you will feel a sweet, rich and lasting fragrance, and the taste is very good, which completely changes people's impressions and feelings about vinegar in the past. The metabolite of wine fermented twice into apple vinegar is very beneficial to people's physiological function, that is, it tends to expand the dependence between people and microorganisms, and it is a bioactive substance that no health care drug can replace.
Substitute for carbonated drinks
In daily life, all kinds of meat, fish and eggs are acidic foods. Rice, white flour and barley are also acidic foods in the staple food. In the general food structure, if you don't consciously eat more alkaline foods such as vegetables, it will inevitably lead to acidic constitution, which is also the root cause of the increase of various "rich diseases" in real life.
The general drinking beverage is carbonated beverage, the main component is citric acid, and the required water is soft water. It is easy to cause cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and other modern civilized diseases, and drinking hard water for a long time can greatly reduce the incidence of modern rich diseases. Drinking too much carbonated drinks is not good for human bone development, so drinking carbonated drinks made of soft water for a long time is not good for human health.
Vinegar beverage can not only achieve the functions of good taste and thirst quenching, but also pay more attention to the nutritional function of human body. The imbalance of sodium and potassium ions is an important cause of hypertension. The intake of sodium in daily diet is 1.4g/ day, while the intake of potassium is low. Acetic acid drinks contain more potassium ions and calcium ions that can inhibit hypertension, and more potassium intake is beneficial to the stability of blood pressure.
An alkaline beverage with sour taste.
Mckinley apple vinegar beverage is an alkaline beverage, which tastes acidic (beneficial to the preservation of various nutrients and promoting the absorption of calcium), but it is alkaline after metabolism in the body, and has the function of neutralizing acidic foods such as fish, meat, eggs, rice and noodles.
Acidic food and alkaline food are not determined by the taste when they are eaten, but by the metallic or nonmetallic elements contained in the food. Most of the above acidic foods contain nonmetallic elements such as phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine, which can metabolize negative acid radicals in the body, so they are called acidic foods. However, various vegetables and fruits contain metal elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, sodium, manganese and zinc, such as apples and tomatoes. Although it tastes sour in the mouth, these organic acids are decomposed into carbon dioxide and water in the body, which can be excreted smoothly, and various metals are metabolized into alkaline salts, which can neutralize various negative acids. Apple vinegar is rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, etc., so it is an acidic alkaline beverage, and its health care functions all come from this.
McKinley, March into energy drinks.
Considering the nutritional balance, the first is the acid-base balance, because acidic constitution is the total root of "rich disease", and various physiological functions, such as digestion, absorption, circulation, nerves, sensation and so on. It is required that they can play their best under slightly alkaline conditions, so people have been looking forward to the birth of a functional drink!
Olympic champion drink
The Olympic podium, envied by the world, records not only the success and joy of athletes, but also sweat and tears. Take China athletes as an example. In the past, athletes drank cold boiled water+rice vinegar+salt to maintain the acid-base balance in the body. Athletes need to constantly ingest all kinds of acidic foods of animal origin, so as to make the environment in the body acidic, and then stimulate the energy of the body to the maximum extent, so as to complete the training plan. During the training process, a large amount of lactic acid is produced in the body, and the accumulation can reach 20 mmol. If you don't supplement alkaline substances to balance the acid and alkali in the body, it is absolutely impossible to complete the whole training. China's so-called Olympic designated drinks, in a sense, are just drinks, such as Jianlibao and Nongfu Spring. It is not suitable for athletes to drink, which puts the development and research of alkaline drinks on the agenda!
Enlightenment from a small experimental field
Let's take a look at these children, with an average age of 10. Under the leadership of Professor Sun Xianyong, former director of the Ice Education Committee of the State Sports Commission and head coach of the Bayi Speed Skating Team, an amateur speed skating team was formed. Professor Sun's training is jumping, because it is better than straight line and step by step. Every child brings a can of McKinley children's drink every day to "quench their thirst". A child of 10 years old can only lift his waist 1 time in the sliding 2 1000 meters/hour. During the week of conditioning exercise after heavy training, no one suffered from sports injury, and his physical function was continuously improved. The result of these four years' training is the crown of a team champion and the myth that an amateur team beats a professional team. It is these children who, while breaking through their physical limits, never give in academically, and no one's academic performance drops. As Professor Sun said, what he wants to cultivate is a new generation of athletes with both culture and technology.
It is true that four years of hard training has contributed a lot, but what role apple vinegar played in the heavy-load training of these children has not been monitored more quantitatively and vividly by us, that is to say, sports drinks are still a blank in China!
However, the results of this small experimental field in four years are obviously gratifying, but it remains to be seen whether McKinley apple vinegar beverage can live up to its mission and add chips for Beijing's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games!

Supporters of the apple vinegar diet say that fermented apples contain pectin, which is believed to help reduce fat content. Therefore, what dieters need to do is to drink a few spoonfuls of apple vinegar before each meal, that's all, and burn excess fat easily.
Using apple vinegar brewed from fresh apples to lose weight has been popular in the west for decades. As long as people who insist on drinking apple vinegar every day, they will have a good weight loss effect. This is a well-known fact, but it is really difficult for most people to drink a lot of vinegar every day. First, vinegar is hard to drink; Second: Simply drinking vinegar will cause too much acetic acid and gastrointestinal discomfort.
The study of malic acid found that malic acid can not only lose weight, but also bring the following benefits to the human body:
Enhance digestive function;
Reduce the level of harmful cholesterol;
C, enhance heart function;
D, lowering blood pressure (maintaining normal blood pressure);
E, maintain normal blood sugar level;
F, prevent the generation of cancer cells;
G, whitening the skin, keeping the skin smooth and moist, and removing heavy metals from the body.
