Commercial Vinegar Tablets Do Not Display the Same Physiological Benefits for Managing Postprandial Glucose Concentrations as Liquid Vinegar

Figure 1

(a) Line graph representing the 60-minute postprandial flux in blood glucose under four test conditions: CON, 60 g water (control treatment); VIN, 25 g liquid vinegar (1.25 g acetic acid) diluted with 35 g water; PILL, four vinegar tablets (1.50 g acetic acid) swallowed whole with 60 g water; and PILL-c, four crushed vinegar tablets dissolved in 60 g water ( = 0.089; repeated measures ANOVA). (b) The blood glucose incremental area-under-the-curve (iAUC) for the four test conditions ( = 0.043; repeated measures ANOVA). Columns that do not share a common superscript differ significantly ( < 0.05).
