Cinnamon is good

According to a recent scientific survey,Cinnamon has a variety of health benefits that you can gain simply by using it in its natural form.

For example, just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day was shown to significantly reduce blood sugar levels, triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Cinnamon's other benefits were found to include:

Supporting digestive function
Relieving congestion
Relieving pain and stiffness of muscles and joints
Anti-inflammatory compounds that may relieve arthritis
Helping to prevent urinary tract infections, tooth decay and gum disease
It's a powerful anti-microbial agent that can kill E. coli and other bacteria.

And, if you’re looking for a non-toxic insect repellant, look no further. Another study found cinnamon oil to be a safe and effective pesticide and mosquito repellant.

I put some in my Coffee and Tea. Love it!

RE: Cinnamon is good

Hey,
This is some information about all the cinnamon fans.

The name cinnamon is derived from a Greek word meaning sweet wood. It is derived from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, an evergreen tree of the Laurel family. The rolled bark is allowed to dry, forming a scroll or quill. The quills are cut into 2 to 3 inch sticks or ground into powder. The ground cinnamon has a stronger flavor than the sticks, and can stay fresh for 6 months while the scrolls last longer. Both should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.

There are two main varieties of Cinnamon- Cinnamomum verum (True or Ceylon cinnamon) grown in Sri Lanka, and southern India; and Cinnamomum aromaticum (also called Cassia), which is grown in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam. True cinnamon has a yellowish-brown color and tends to produce a finer powder than cassia which has a grayish-brown color. The cinnamon from Sri Lanka, which is preferred by the Europeans, has a milder, sweeter flavor and is more expensive. In the United States cassia is the widely used product. True cinnamon maybe adulterated with cassia.

RE: Cinnamon is good

Its always better to provide scientific material. Case study published in 2003 in a medical journal called Diabetes Care was the first study, related to cinnamon. Sixty people with type 2 diabetes took 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon in pill form daily, an amount roughly equivalent to one quarter of a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

After 40 days, all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose by 18 to 29%, triglycerides by 23 to 30%, LDL cholesterol by 7 to 27%, and total cholesterol by 12 to 26%

RE: Cinnamon is good

Hello,
Cinnamaldehyde has been well-researched for its effects on blood platelets. Platelets are constituents of blood that are meant to clump together under emergency circumstances as a way to stop bleeding, but under normal circumstances, they can make blood flow inadequate if they clump together too much. The cinnaldehyde in cinnamon helps prevent unwanted clumping of blood platelets.
