Eric 2011-06-27T11:02:46Z 2011-06-27T11:02:46Z <p>I have it on my salad with olive oil just about daily. Don't really think much about it. Why is it not paleo?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/47778/is-balsamic-vinegar-paleo-good-for-you/47799#47799 Answer by Jan for Is balsamic vinegar paleo/ good for you?

JD 2011-06-27T14:04:57Z 2011-06-27T14:04:57Z <p>Per Cordain, no it is not strictly paleo. Nothing related to it being "healthy", just the impact on acid-base balance. That being said, many paleo Gurus such as Rob Wolff don't worry about it. Most folks, myself included, use vinegar on salads and in sauces.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/47778/is-balsamic-vinegar-paleo-good-for-you/81754#81754 Answer by Sara S. for Is balsamic vinegar paleo/ good for you? Sara S. 2011-12-07T01:00:33Z 2011-12-07T01:00:33Z <p>Be aware that some balsamic vinegar may have gluten in it. If it uses caramel coloring, it's possibly not gluten free. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/47778/is-balsamic-vinegar-paleo-good-for-you/139790#139790 Answer by Kitty for Is balsamic vinegar paleo/ good for you? Kitty 2012-08-01T12:44:33Z 2012-08-01T12:44:33Z <p>I have found that the sugar in really good balsamic vinegar triggers huge food cravings. I was eating delicious salads with a balsamic &amp; olive oil dressing alongside my meat and then wondering why I suddenly became incapable of maintaining any IF the following day. Now that I've cut it out I feel much more stable, don't need to run to the fridge every two minutes and able to IF. But then I am super-sensitive to all things non-paleo.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/47778/is-balsamic-vinegar-paleo-good-for-you/139822#139822 Answer by Maria for Is balsamic vinegar paleo/ good for you? Maria 2012-08-01T15:17:32Z 2012-08-01T15:17:32Z <p>Total anecdata, but I think I've identified balsamic vinegar as one of the things that can really help with constipation. I know some people recommend apple cider vinegar in water - I just put balsamic on my salad and it helps the same way. </p>
