Vinegar may boost fat burning. Obese people who got one to two tablespoons of vinegar a day burned significantly more bodyfat than subjects who didn’t get vinegar. That makes oil and vinegar the best salad dressing for dieters.

Pycnogenol, an antioxidant from French maritime pine bark, relieves symptoms of hemorrhoids, a condition that affects one in two people by the age of 50. Both oral and topical treatments were effective in the Italian study.
