* Pass the Cinnamon shaker.. please !
Just half a TEASPOON of Cinnamon a day has been shown to LOWER LDL Cholestrol (bad), while OTHER studies suggest it may REGULATE blood sugar in people with TYPE 2 Diabetes, as well as PROVIDE pain relief for Arthritis.
** AND if that's NOT enough, ANOTHER study found that SMELLING Cinnamon ... can BOOST memory, ALSO !
(Australian 'Woman's Day'.)
*** CINNAMON: Is apparently from the spicy bark of the Ceylon tree !
