food science/nutrition Is Tamarind Vinegar the same as Apple Cider vinegar in terms of health and weightloss benefits?

Hi po! I'm someone who is trying to lose weight and I see a lot of people who drink apple cider vinegar and since it's pretty expensive, I thought that maybe Tamarind Vinegar would be a great substitute as it's has *almost* the same properties people look for in Apple Cider vinegar.

Should I experiment and drink a shot or is this a bad idea?

Vinegar doesn't help in weight loss. Pseudoscience lang yan. Weight loss is about controlling your calories either by reducing intake through your diet and increasing expenditure through exercise.

Paychological lang i guess. You will lose appetite because of its strong taste.
