[IP] Re: Effect of Cinnamon on Blood Sugar

[email @ redacted]

Matt,  Two weeks ago or so, there was a chat session on herbal remedies and 
diabetes.  It was so interesting.  Cinnamon was mentioned as something that 
could lower blood sugars.  But I believe it was a fairly large amount, about 
2 teaspoons if I'm remembering correctly.  Do you put that much on???  It is 
interesting to hear that you are having a response to it.  No doubt others 
will know much more about this than me.    Just to mention something to do 
with this, in case others are tempted to try cinnamon.  I read years ago that 
sometimes when cinnamon is in short supply or too expensive,  another plant 
is substituted for it and not labelled any differently (at least not at the 
bulk store I shop at).  I buy a lot of cinnamon when I am on a raisin bread 
making kick, and had noticed that it was a different colour and flavour one 
time.  Just something to watch for.
