Question:
Does eating vinegar make you short? I heard that it "corrodes" the bones in the body, causing shortness
Answers:
Vinegar only corrodes things that are submerged in it. When you eat vinegar, it is digested and broken down chemically and by the time any nutrient reaches your bones, it is not a corrosive acid. So go ahead and eat pickles and salad dressing. It is safe!
FYI: If you soak a chicken bone in vinegar, it will leech out the calcium and make it bendable. That might be what you heard about. Another cool experiment is to put an uncooked egg in vinegar. Again, the shell is dissolved away in about 3 days and you are left with a shell-less egg. A tad off topic, but cool nonetheless!
