Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / December 2004cinnamon and insulin
does consuming cinnamon along with sugar reduce the amount of insulin that the body will secrete? I keep reading page after webpage saying that cinnamon improves insulin sensitivity and mimics insulin. That should mean less insulin is secreted, but I haven't seen anyone say that specifically. > does consuming cinnamon along with sugar reduce the amount of insulin > that the body will secrete? > > I keep reading page after webpage saying that cinnamon improves insulin > sensitivity and mimics insulin.

You can find it in: Vegetarian Times, Nov/Dec2004 Issue 326, p85, 1p Eating half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day can lower blood sugar levels significantly, according to a study led by Richard A. Anderson, PhD, at the US Department of Agriculture's Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland. > does consuming cinnamon along with sugar reduce the amount of insulin > that the body will secrete? > > I keep reading page after webpage saying that cinnamon improves insulin > sensitivity and mimics insulin.

The more recent threads, less positive, had fewer people posting. My own experience with capsules of powdered cinnamon was rather positive, but I backed off because everything was beginning to taste like cinnamon. :) Perhaps the cinnamon oil extract would avoid that side effect. At present I'm using chai teas that include cinnamon sticks and many similar ingredients. I also get a very good effect from Oregon CHai's Chai Nog, which says they use traditional holiday spices in addition to the regular chai mixture. Nutmeg might be important. I'd like to hear from others about this. You might try searching for 'insulin' 'cinnamon' 'nutmeg'. Skinny "Perhaps the cinnamon oil extract would avoid that side effect. At present" No, the substance thought to have the insulin mimic activity is water soluble, and the author of the research said it is completely aabsent in cinnamon oils. It's also likely the oils contain much of the flavor sources that you found persists. Maybe this might be an option? NEW!

It provides nutritional support for type II diabetes, glucose, cholesterol, & triglycerides.
