Wow, regardless of whether this is true or not, one of the funniest things I have seen in a while.
Yes, any vinegar will work, as acetic acid is the desired active ingredient. However, balsamic and ACV contain other unknown variables that are simply not an issue with distilled white. It's cheaper anyway, so really no reason to use any other.
After a hardly exhaustive search, it appears the only apple species containing notable alkaloids is our good friend the
thorn apple.
