That doesn’t mean that just about a million people won’t claim that their particular vinegar has the best health effects. Just you may notice they don’t put it on the label because they can’t because they haven’t proven it. So they just say it and that’s pretty wide open.

Now we do know of one major potential health effect of the unpasteurized ciders. Every once in awhile we get some food poisonng cases from people drinking them. Usually it’s small and not that serious. It comes about in part because cider is largely a salvage operation, you make much more money selling apples. So what happens is that the apples fall on the ground and they are picked up for the cider. Been a couple of cases where the people where being so natural they let their cattle graze in the orchard and added cop pies to the cider. Of course even where cattle don’t graze, deer and rabbits and such do so fecal material can get added accidentally to cider.

Now there’s the artificial cider make with acetic acid and flavorings. That’s pretty hard to have that contaminated. And then there is pasteurized cider, which heat is used to kill the bacteria, so that tends to be very safe as well. And then the is the all natural never pasteruized wonderful joy juice market. That’s the one you need to be most careful about. If the jar seems to have any growth in it don’t drink it. If it has a “funny” flavor, don’t drink it. And so on.

That would be the only documented health effect diference I know of.

The organic Apple cider vinegars are produced through natural fermentation and use actual apple cider to make the vinegar.

So yes, big differences between the two
