Health This Just In: DON'T LISTEN TO MEGAN FOX!!
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 2:34 PM
Oh, shit! I was just settling down in front of the computer to read the morning news with my warm bottle of vinegar when I read THIS:
HEALTH experts have warned dieters against taking advice from actress Megan Fox.The Transformers star has been blasted for hailing the benefits of swigging vinegar.
She recently said, "It just cleanses out your system entirely.
"It will get rid of ... for women who retain water weight from your menstrual cycle and all that ... it gets rid of it really fast.
"I'm not one for dieting or exercising, because I'm lazy and I have a really big sweet tooth, so I have to do cleanses every once in a while 'cause of the amount of sugar I take in."
However, experts in the field have dismissed Megan's claims, insisting there is not a single form of vinegar in existence that will help dieters lose weight.
SPIT TAKE!!! Bleghh! Bleghh! You mean to tell me I've been drinking a gallon of vinegar a day, and the only reason I was doing it was because Megan is super hot, and I like to listen to super hot people because much of the time they make a lot of sense, and... and...
Vinegar? Why yes, Mistress Fox. I'd love some. Glug... glug... glug...

Her looks have nothing to do with vinegar. That's genetics.
Her intelligence, on the other hand, is a result of being vaccinated as a child. This I learned from jenny McCarthy, another expert in the medical field.

yeah, i did this once. accidentally. i had to pass a piss test and a friend told me vinegar would work in a pinch. shit cleaned me out, alright, but not in the way i wanted. i guess ms. fox is a fan of violent, splatter-ific diarrhea.
also, ms. fox looks a lot like my wife, except not as hot.

Actually, I know how it sounds Sir Humpsalot, but I myself have vinegar everyday. It makes my skin lovely and aids my digestion. I am still butt ugly, but I feel good about it.

if anyone actually cared to do any research (does that ever happen at the stranger?) there are scientific studies that have been done regarding vinegar and they have shown that people who take vinegar have lower blood glucose levels and have, indeed, lost weight - and in the weight loss studies they lost weight during november/december when people usually gain weight.

@x girl
Can I have a link to those studies? They sound almost as plausible as the taco bell diet.

@7 - no, you're not the only one. I don't find her unattractive, she just doesn't do anything for me. I'd jump over 10 Megan Foxes to get to one Monica Bellucci. Now THAT's hot.

Vinegar, like most unpleasant things on can put in their mouths, does seem to suppress appetite. If you have a hard time controlling yourself then I guess it could help to keep from eating less. No silly cleansing magic though. That's just hippy nonsense.
There are also much more pleasant ways to reduce apatite, like some teas.

That chick has weird looking skin. What's up with her skin? Somebody explain. Is that what vinegar does to your skin?

@15 FTW!!! AAaahahahaha.
But I dunno, Megan does nothing for me, but Chi-Chi Rodriguez? Aye, mami!

I wouldn't (and don't) take raw apple cider vinegar on a daily basis and wouldn't ever use a pill form vinegar 'supplement' but have taken it as a once in a while cleanser (3Tsp in some tea or mixed with honey) and appetite suppressant (it's kind of like when you drink a Kombucha and don't feel the need to eat for a long while).
I've also used it when I had heart burn/acid reflux (3tsp in 8oz of warm water taken after a meal) and a friend's mother used it as a short-term therapy to lower her cholesterol and it worked.

Megan Fox has passed way over the Barbie Threshold to the point where she is no longer hot, just shiny and fake and vaguely unsettling.
Apparently she's also kind of an idiot.

hmm. my links did not post correctly. now i suppose Asian1981 (really that's your pseudonym?) will say i am stupid. ha!
it's really not that difficult to google apple cider vinegar and you'll get tons of links to the articles - which reference the medical studies and medical publications in which they have been published.

Megan Fox invites ambivalence on all fronts. Sometimes she says something intelligent, sometimes she says something really dumb. Sometimes she looks hot, sometimes she seems way too plastic and fake.
28
She's not THAT hot, but everyone here, despite feeble comments to the contrary, would pop that can in a friggin' heartbeat. It's OK. Just go with it.

@18: HAH! Yes!
I think Fox is just too made-up most of the time. She's looked Belucci-esque kind of soft, natural beauty in some photos I've seen.
But yeah, I've gotten that "tranny" vibe from her. I think it's the super-exaggerated femininity -- too sharp, trying too hard.
@28: Fucking someone when given the free opportunity and perceiving "hotness" of the same person are not always related, in my book.

@28 - I'm not stupid, I wouldn't kick her outta bed or anything - I'm just saying, she's no Salma Hayek or Sofia Vergara.
32
She'd have to get some kind of super toothpaste, that shit smells and there's no way I'd snuggle up with a chick who thought vinegar made her more sexy (my dick would go placid, ignorance would be bliss though). Why not just make more food type items that could use vinegar as a food ingredient rather than chugging the bottle like a 40? What the fuck ever happened to no child left behind, and why is Megan Fox sitting at the bottom of a 3 mile deep crater?
