My grandpa used apple cider vinegar pretty much his whole life, but for some reason I haven't taken up the habit. I've heard good things about it, and he made it to 81 before throat cancer got him...he also drank heavily and smoked a pipe for most of his life. I know that the baking soda idea isn't the best one I've had, but when I wake up with heartburn, nothing else gets rid of it quicker. I think I'll try the vinegar thing. Thanks man.
