Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008Cinnamon to lower blood sugar?
I've been hearing about this ever since I was diagnosed 3 years ago. A couple of years ago I bought a bottle of cinnamon capsules. Maybe I didn't take them long enough, more than the 30 day supply, but all I got was a cinnamon after-taste belch! My doc says there's no proof cinnamon does any good anyway. Any of y'all into cinnamon with positive results? > I've been hearing about this ever since I was diagnosed 3 years ago. A > couple of years ago I bought a bottle of cinnamon capsules.

Any of y'all into cinnamon with positive results? I've tried it - noticed no difference. > I've been hearing about this ever since I was diagnosed 3 years > ago.

Also, I had the taste of cinnamon in my mouth all day which was very annoying. > I've been hearing about this ever since I was diagnosed 3 years >ago.

My doc says there's no >proof cinnamon does any good anyway. Any of y'all into cinnamon with >positive results? The cinnamon thing comes up periodically. It is discounted and then someone says we are using the wrong type. the story keeps changing so that may suggest it is a fad. In any area where we lack facts the fiction take over. The only say to get an answer is a blind controlled study. Suggestion is a powerful force. When in high school a teacher had us do some experiments where we ganged up on a student and suggested they look sick. later they went home. An old retired doc related to me that he had several colors of "sugar"pills. When he suspect a false illness, he prescribed them and if the patient improved, he had a fact to use. Blind studies are the only way to resolve the many alleged issues. I have been taken in by any items but then they never worked again. Control of blood sugar does work and continues to work for me. ----== Posted via Pronews.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.pronews.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- > I've been hearing about this ever since I was diagnosed 3 years > ago.

I'm just finishing off the bottle I bought then I will not buy anymore. I also take fish-oil supplements and the combined cinnamon-fish burps are enough to make you retch...

As a student in the '70s I used to powder then smoke it in roll ups. A few of us did that after reading that cinnamon could give a false positive result for a cannabis test. We thought it might fool our brain receptors. It tasted quite nice, but did'nt do anything out of the ordinary (copd and bronchitis 25 years later I suppose is to be accepted as normal :-( > I tried it and saw no change.

If you taste the fish oil in a burp afterward, it's rancid and you should throw it out, whatever the expiration date says. Or so I've heard. >> I tried it and saw no change.

In which case nearly all the fish oil I've ever bought is rancid when my wife takes it, but not when I take it.

The repeating is variable within the same batch in my case. Sometimes it repeats on me, sometimes it doesn't. It never repeats on my wife.

I just realized I was posting it here, due to making it my default .sig and forgetting to change my asd .sig. I read it on http://www.thinkgeek.com, in their product listings. It was on a Tshirt they sell. The #FF0000 is written in red and #0000FF is in blue. Have a look at their "illuminated TShirts". I have the "T-Qualizer on my Christmas wish list.
