Ever wonder why you're sometimes struck with an insatiable urge for something as tangy as vinegar? Our latest episode dives into the heart of these acidic cravings and reveals the intricate web of reasons that could be pulling you towards that pucker-inducing bottle. From nutrient deficiencies that trick your taste buds to hormonal roller coasters and the psychological turmoil of stress and anxiety, we uncover how each factor might be whispering (or shouting) for you to take another sip. And it's not just about the 'why'—we also unwrap the impressive health benefits vinegar can offer, like its role in fighting off microbes and managing blood sugar levels. But beware, because too much of this good thing can bite back, eroding tooth enamel and stirring up stomach trouble. So, strap in for a tangy journey that balances the scales between cravings and health.

Sorry if some of this sounds weird, it was late and I'm not a professional podcaster so some of the edits didn't turn out exactly right.  I didn't mean to sound like I was ordering you to get a water filter, but it does sound like that :/  I'll try to be less militant sounding next time,lol!
