Apple Cider Vinegar has long been praised for its potential health benefits: expelling parasites, boosting digestive function, reducing blood pressure, eliminating head lice, and even initiating apoptosis (cell suicide) in cancer cells.  Although the “folklore” concerning apple cider vinegar dates back centuries, some claims (especially the latter) have yet to be
