Cinnamon

A spice often used in baked goods, with a warm, mellow flavor; cinnamon has a long-standing reputation in the natural health community. However, this history is now reinforced by modern day scientific research. In 2013, in Annals of Family Medicine, it was concluded that cinnamon is responsible for “statistically significant” decreases in fasting blood sugar, overall cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. And in 2012, an animal study published in Pharmacognosy Research, supports these findings. It is important to bare in mind that there is not just one kind of cinnamon, there are a few different varieties and they are not all created equal. The preferred variety for therapeutic purposes is Ceylon cinnamon. This is the variety which has been effective in scientific studies. It also needs to be noted that Cinnamomum aromaticum and Cassia cinnamon (the other kinds of cinnamon) are known to be high in coumarin—a blood-thinning substance. Ceylon cinnamon has much lower coumarin levels.
