What is the "mother" in apple cider vinegar?

I've read a lot about apple cider vinegar being beneficial to people who suffer from different maladies, like gout, high cholesterol, and arthritis. But in all of the articles, it always refers to the "mother", for example, "Acv with the mother in it works wonders on many ailments. Make sure it has the mother in it. Best to buy from a health food store."http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic44419.html.

Does anyone know what that is? Why is it so important?

The mother part of vinegar is the jelly like, gummy, slimy material layer of film that is created in or on top of the liquid of apple cider vinegar. Additionally, the mother of vinegar can make the vinegar appear foggy and it can also appear wispy and like a little spider web. The mother of vinegar is actually a very acidic strain of bacteria. This, combined with oxygen in warm air, causes the apple cider to ferment and gives vinegar its distinctive sourness.

The reason that buying the mother part of vinegar in a health food store is that when you buy vinegar at a grocery store, it is usually pasteurized since the mother makes the vinegar look bad. It is the feeling of many people that the process utilized to get rid of the mother also gets rid of all the special health promoting assets of the vinegar.
