Apple Cider Vinegar's Effects on Fat Loss

I know there’s a few mentions of apple-cider vinegar on the site but no actual threads that I could find so here goes.

I found this article

http://technorati.com/lifestyle/article/vinegar-clinically-proven-to-destroy-fat/

which linked me to this study

http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bbb/73/8/1837/_pdf

on the effects of vinegar on body fat. the study seems to show that vinegar just makes you lose fat (3% over 12 weeks), but am I right to be suspicious that the address on the study is of the Mizkan corporation (that makes vinegar, among other things)?
What’s the truth about vinegar? Should I start taking it?

Cheers

That data looks promising and I have heard similar things before. I believe vinegar has been proven to reduce the glycemic response after a meal before so this just takes that one step further. My take on it is why not try it for 4-6 weeks and see if you notice anything different. Worst case it does nothing for you.
