the fact that fermentation process breaks down pesticides is well... a fact. That's not a matter of opinion
As for all the rest of it, I don't really care quite frankly.
The fact of the matter is this vinegar does something for me that no other vinegar ever has. it has such a stimulatory effect on my circulatory system it's really quite amazing. That's why I love it so much.
You can theorize and philosophize about various things and what does and does not matter and pesticides and raw and pasteurization etc. etc. all you want
But the fact of the matter is the proof is in the pudding. This stuff works
You can keep your cheap Gag inducing vinegar, I will use the good stuff!
