Do a web search on health benefits of cinnamon.
My daughter-in-law took Avandia. It gave her diarrhea and persistent, painful headaches. Think twice...
It sure has worked for my wife, and it's been way over a year and we almost take it for granted now.
And nobody ever complains about the taste. I have never met anyone who doesn't like cinnamon.
HA...YOU beat me to it.....CINNAMON!!!!
IT IS NOT CINNAMON --it's something else that tastes remarkably similar to cinnamon and is really cheap.
The metabolic effect of cinnamon DOES exist as described above, but ONLY for REAL cinnamon.
Crazy, huh? It's TRUE.
Funny thing is there's no law against selling this other crap as "cinnamon" --they can legally put that on the label, even though it's a huge lie.
One rolls up as a scroll (both sides) and the other as a simple tube --consistently.
I don't remember which is which.
