I love cinnamon. Cinnamon in cakes and cookies, cinnamon in my tea and coffee, cinnamon in my cider too. I especially enjoy cinnamon rolls. So, for me to find out that delicious cinnamon is really good for me was quite a nice surprise. Here's just a few of the pluses:
* It has some great oxidants in it which have anti-inflammatory effects on the body which help to lower the risk of many diseases.
* Cinnamon helps to improve risk factors toward heart disease such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
* It has been shown to significantly increase the sensitivity to the hormone insulin.
* It also has a very potent anti-diabetic effect to reduce fasting blood sugar levels to 1-6 grams per day. Or 0.5 - 2 teaspoons per day.

I didn´t know that cinnamon was so healthy. But as soon as I read your post, I ran to add cinnamon to the apricot cake I was making.

So many of our herbs and spices have added health benefits, just do not overdo it.

It and honey are very good for you. I add them both to my tea every morning.

@celticeagle I never did either, but once I started putting cinnamon on them, I started liking them.

@celticeagle - if you get heartburn easily, take it easy when you drink it.
