Reuters Health reports that a quarter of a teaspoon of cinnamon will help diabetics. A study showed that taking just that much for forty days dropped glucose, fats, and cholesterol up to 30 points. That’s great news for diabetics.

It’s also good news for those who are potentially at risk for developing diabetes. Both my grandmothers had type 2 diabetes and so, supposedly, does my mother. I’m 41, a bit overweight, and I don’t want to go there. I’m sitting here trying to think what I can put cinnamon in or if I need to go by some sticks to boil for tea.
