FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

I'm not sure why Big Pharma (ahem) is demonizing cinnamon.

Cinnamon: A Multifaceted Medicinal Plant (4.15.24)

I can understand that over-sweetened cinnamon is a problem.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I find DOs that are in General Practice often are more willing to discuss nutrition, PT and supplements for problems rather then just giving you some more pills.

[SpaceBar]

One stick of Big Red chewing gum supplies a whole day’s worth of cinnamaldehyde.

[epluribus_2]

maybe their biggest concern is that patients won’t need one or more of the systemic, lifelong prescriptions for big pharma. $$$

[goodnesswins]

MMMmmm...that sounds good

"Uh-oh. I’ve been chewing cinnamon taffy for 20 minutes now..."

Article says small amounts are safe.

[SunkenCiv]

Safe, until one of my crowns gets pulled out... :^)

“...stole my marble rye...”

[Maudeen]

I take more than a boatload of supplements plus the horse paste . . . cinnamon is one. I wonder if it interferes with the supplements?

[mass55th]

"Safe, until one of my crowns gets pulled out... :^)"

Yeah, you did say taffy didn't you?

[SunkenCiv]

I had some tucked away in a desk drawer, I’d forgotten about it. Yes, that’s right, I had done a taffy tuck.

"I had some tucked away in a desk drawer, I’d forgotten about it. Yes, that’s right, I had done a taffy tuck."

LOL!! If you'd left it a wee bit longer, some archaeologist could have claimed it was an ancient relic.

I truly believe we could do without most (most, not all) of the medication out there by avoiding all processed foods, including sugar and seed oils, and getting sunshine and exercise.

I totally agree

I know a number of diabetics who got off of insulin by taking cinnamon

[SisterK]

Ceylon is the medicinal cinnamon

I'm not sure why Big Pharma (ahem) is demonizing cinnamon.

Big Pharma needs your money and dependence
Big Pharma does not care about your quality of life

[null and void]

Yup! The one I take. I shoulda mentioned that in my post. Thanks!

[SunkenCiv]

Speaking of crowns, I cut myself digging out the taffy on a family heirloom. It's been passed down for centuries, a king who wound up getting beheaded. We found it in a chest that had been locked for generations. The severed head was a little ripe, no wonder it was kept locked.

[mass55th]

If it was English taffy then it must be King Charles I. Or if it was French Chew Taffy, then it’s King Louis XVI.

[SunkenCiv]

I thought all taffy was Welsh... /runsforcover

A Yuge dash of cinnamon in the nightly oatmeal drops my fasting glucose at least 10 pts. “Messing with” your medications may mean that the cinnamon doesnt stop your meds from working as expected?
