Cinnamon helps with Diabetes
Diabetes has Natural Treatment the study says
While Ginseng has been a busy little herb these last few thousand years, cinnamon has recently been found to pack a powerful medicinal punch. A tasty addition to hot chocolate and apple pie, nutritionists agree this popular spice offers surprising benefits for those suffering from diabetes. "Good medicine doesn't always take the form of a pill. Sometimes the answer, or part of the answer, can be found in your kitchen cabinet," says Dr. Richard Goldfarb.
The strongest evidence yet in favor of cinnamon being used as an all-natural diabetes supplement comes from a recent study conducted in Pakistan. Participants took between one and six grams of cinnamon each day for forty days, while others took equivalent amounts of a placebo. Those taking cinnamon saw significant improvements in their blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, even after discontinuing treatment.

The survey, which asked participants to describe what they had eaten in the last twenty-four hours, found more than 40% had not eaten a single piece of fruit, 20% had not eaten one vegetable, 55% had eaten red meat, and more than 44% had eaten at least one serving of luncheon meat or bacon that day. Results such as these suggest that while the message of good nutrition is omnipresent, people aren't practicing what they preach.
