apple cider vinegar as an aid to loose weight

Have any of you heard of this? I just did a quick search, and sounds kind of reasonable....

here is an article
I thought was interesting, I would like to know what you all think about this. It seems to me, I remember reading about the properties of Apple Cider vinegar..it's in the back of my mind somewhere, something I heard years and years ago. It seems now, they also have pills of it - funny isnt it?
