Where in the world would you get that idea? All vinegar (including apple cider vinegar), by definition, is acidic. The pH of vinegar is typically in the range of 2.5 to 3 - making it an acid. The key component is acetic acid. Were this not the case, a bottle could not be labeled as vinegar, plain and simple. Pick up a bottle of Heinz apple cider vinegar - under ingredients, it clearly states, "Made from the juice of apples diluted with water to a uniform pickling and table strength of 5%(50 grains) acidity."

Please don't spread misinformation. Saying authoritatively that something cannot cause a medical condition, even on a message board, without any citation or scientific backup is absolute rubbish.
