We are familiar with cinnamon used as a spice but it has long been used to cure everything from athlete’s foot to indigestion.  Early civilizations recognized its ability to stop bacterial growth.  The Egyptians used it in embalming.  In the Middle Ages, it was mixed with cloves and warm water and placed in the sick rooms of victims of Bubonic Pague.

fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29%
