Yes, significantly! : Cinnamon has many great benefits. Studies show that 1-6 grams of cinnamon a day reduces blood sugar 18-29% and cholesterol 12-26%. It is as strong an antioxidant as 1 cup of pomegranate juice or 1/2 cup of blueberries. It is an anti-inflammatory & anti-microbial.You can take it as a capsule or enjoy it by adding to food & drink.See www.Whfoods.Com/genpage.Php?Tname=foodspice&dbid=68 for more info.
