Yes, it does not have to be apple cider vinegar in particular, but any vinegar or lemon juice will lower the GI of foods, which means they will affect the insulin reaction differently.
There was an article on my local news the other night, showing how new studies on the grapefruit diet had proved that either some grapefruit juice or a 1/2 grapefruit with each meal resulted in some weight loss - no matter what the rest of the meal consisted of. The scientist who conducted the study seemed puzzled about the results, but another one was clued into the GI and while not specifically mentioning it talked about grapefruit having the ability to lower the insulin response - so it seems that it would make sense that if lemons can lower the GI then grapefruits could. So by adding vinegar or certain citrus juices to your meal you can lower the GI - but unfortunately it still wont nullify cakes or donuts.
