Cholesterol

Consumer Reports says one-half teaspoon of cinnamon a day for 40 days reduced blood levels of both glucose and triglycerides by about 25 % in adults with type 2 diabetes, according to a USDA clinical trial. Cinnamon also lowered bad LDL cholesterol by almost 20 %. The study says the benefits remained for up to three weeks after the subjects stopped taking it.
Sounds like time to have some cinnamon buns for breakfast.
