There might be an adverse effect of using apple cider vinegar as commercially prepared apple cider vinegar can contain damaging ingredients.

In case you have diabetes or heart problems, and are already on medication for it, then it becomes necessary to consult your physician before direct consumption of apple cider vinegar as the elements present in it could interfere with your medicines.
