Yes, it doesn't directly break down fat.

But if you research a bit about detox and also about acid/alkaline balance in the body, you will find that most foods we consume everyday like meats, grains, milk, and processed foods produces toxins and acids. This is partly due to food processing and also hormones or whatever fed to animals to make them grow faster for food production.

Toxins build up in the body and acids forms a coating around fat cells to prevent them from being used for energy. The acid coating also causes water retention. So as a result you have lots of water retention and your body cannot break down your fat cells. In turn, the body burns your muscles for energy making you feel lack of energy and just overall more susceptible to illness.

I just researched a bit about raw apple cider vinegar and although it is an acid, it is believed to produce alkaline after consumption. A more alkaline body helps your body use fat cells for energy and also improves your overall health.

This site has an alkaline/acid food list, apple cider vinegar is on alkaline side:

Most health food stores carry them, preferably in dark colour bottles.
It costs about $5 a Quart(910 ml), just mix it with honey, dilute it with warm boiled water, drink 1-3 serving ...

Salad dressing 同 sushi rice?  好正咁喎！ 可唔可以 share 個 recipe 呀？ 我夏天成日都煮哩啲野嫁不過淨係識用壽司醋咋～～～ 唔該～～！！！

I looked up the label, it is actually certified organic.
Since the acid percentage is 5%, same as Japanese rice vinegar, you can substitute su for sushi preparation.
I have many salad recipes using cider vinegar,
Anjou Pear Fusilli Salad
Dressing:
1/3   Cup    Organic Cider Vinegar
2-4   TBSP   Organic Clover Honey
1/4   Cup    Tomato Puree
2      TBSP   Vermouth
1/4   Cup    Shredded Mint Leaves
1/3   Cup    Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2                 Anjou Pears, peeled and diced
3      Cup     Cooked Tri-Colour Fusilli Pasta
1/2   Cup     Nicoise Olives
1/2   Cup     Snow Peas, blanched
Procedure:
1. Place dressing ingredients in  glass jar with tight lid, shake until emulsified
2. Place Diced pear, pasta, olives and snow peas, pour dressing over and toss together, refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
A good substitute for potato salad, which contain egg yolks  a lot of oil in the mayonaise.

It is easier than Mac & Cheese
Fusilli takes 7 minutes to cook, while you get all the other ingredients handy;
done in 10-12 minutes, enough for 3-4 lunch. Add some pre-cooked prawns,
King crab meat or cooked  chicken, you've got an easy meal for 2

for blanching the snow peas, how long do you leave them in boiling water?

Bring water to boil, add snow peas to water, wait until the water boil again, drain peas, rinse with cold water, drain and pat dry
