i use lemon-water to, to help curb my appetite. I found this article, maybe it will give some guidelines about lemon-winegar.

According to glycemic index guru Jennie Brand-Miller and her co-authors in What Makes my Blood Glucose Go Up… and Down?, lemon juice (probably lime juice, too) and other highly acidic substances slow down stomach emptying, which moderates blood sugar spiking. They say studies have shown that vinegar or lemon juice as part of a salad dressing, consumed with a "mixed" meal, has significant blood glucose lowering effects. Their example: 4 teaspoons of vinegar and 8 teaspoons of oil lowered blood sugar response to an average meal by 30 percent.

Hi, I'm not sure whether lemon juice can be interchanged for vinegar, but it sure would taste better.LOL Lemons have ascorbic acid and vinegar has asetic acid. I take vinegar with every meal (about 3 tablespoons per day) and that along with cinnamon has helped stabilize my blood glucose.
I don't know if it is just being acidic that makes the vinegar work or if it is specifically the ascetic acid.
So…(oh where have I heard this before?)…you have to try it yourself…start drinking water with lemon regularly and see if your average BG either goes down or stabilizes. If it does, you have found a new tool. If it doesn't, try doing the same with vinegar. As always, we are each individual in our response to certain foods.:-)I guess if I had a theme song it would have as it's refrain "O, nobody else can do it for me, I have to do it by myself" (Be glad you can't hear me sing that…I can't carry a tune in a bucket!) May God bless you and help you understand yourself.

I often wondered about lemon and if it would act similarly to vinegar. It certainly would taste better. LOL I would imagine the pickle would be due to the vinegar, but you have to watch the salt. I like to wrap a small kosher dill in some lunch meat for a nite-time snack and my morning tests are usually better than if I eat some kind of carb.

I've never heard of this, maybe it has something to do with the acid in lemons and the pickling process. I do have a vegan friend that drinks hot water and lemon. I love lemon in my water anyway.
