Health Stories
Mary craved sweets uncontrollably. She started taking cinnamon capsules with each meal. During the holidays she said that she had no desire for cookies or any of the the other junk food sweets. Her neice, Cherry, then also started taking cinnamon daily. She said that she lost all desires for sugary foods, too.

Research
In 2003, published in a medical journal called Diabetes Care, 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%. The U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland published a study that cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.

The Copenhagen University documented in a study that a combination of cinnamon and honey relieves arthritis pain. Pain was less in one week. Those who could not walk became ambulatory in one month.
