Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics, a new study has found. The effect, which can be produced even by soaking a cinnamon stick in your tea, could also benefit millions of non-diabetics who have blood sugar problem but are unaware of it.
A 20% reduction in levels compared to a control is pretty significant, especially for a common and fairly inexpensive spice. Fortunately, I like it in lots of things, not just sweet treats. It's particularly good on macaroni and cheese, for example. Don't believe me? Try it.
