. . . "CINNAMON
This aromatic spice may be good for more than stirring a hot toddy or sprinkling on a cappuccino. Cinnamon, it turns out, contains a molecule with insulin-like properties that may help people with Type 2 diabetes. A small study in Pakistan showed that 30 patients with diabetes had significantly lower blood levels of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol after taking cinnamon for 40 days. In a separate study, however, scientists at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the Sansum Medical Research Institute found that not all cinnamon is created equal. While some varieties had no impact, others lowered blood-glucose levels in studies of obese mice. . ."
