Cinnamon Information.
Eat plenty of cinnamon for good taste and great health
 Cinnamon
is one of the best known and best loved spices in all the world, and in
earlier times a few grams of cinnamon could bring a king�s ransom on
the open market. While the cost of this great spice is quite
reasonable today, cinnamon remains one of the world�s most valuable
substances in terms of its effects on health and nutrition.
Traditional uses of cinnamon
Many
traditional cultures around the world have been using cinnamon not just
as an ingredient in their favorite dishes but as a medicine as
well. In fact, cinnamon has been valued highly for its medicinal
properties for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years.
New scientific evidence
One of the areas in which cinnamon has shown great promise in clinical studies is in the treatment of type 2
diabetes. A recent study in the Diabetes Care journal has found
that the ingestion of just a half a teaspoon of cinnamon every day
significantly reduced the level of blood sugar in those with type 2
diabetes. In addition, the same study found that cinnamon was
able to reduce triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol and total
cholesterol levels in the same study participants.
