Cinnamon Spice

Cinnamon shown to benefit type 2 diabetes

Cinnamon is a well known spice with a long history of use as an agent of spicy and sweet aroma. Canela Canela True spices comes mainly from Sri Lanka and is known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Another species closely related to the truth is called Cinnamon Cinnamomum cassia. This kind of cinnamon now thought to be an inferior substitute Cinnamomum zeylanicum

New research on this common spice has shown that cinnamon can help people significantly with the type 2 (non insulin dependent) diabetes improve their ability to regulate their blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1, which represents up to 85% of people with diabetes (2). In type 2 diabetes the pancreas does not produce insulin, a hormone that tells the body to remove excess glucose in the bloodstream, however, the cells that usually take the glucose from the blood to become resistant to the effects of insulin. This resulted in high levels blood glucose.

As glucose accumulates in the blood, tiredness, weight loss and blurred vision may be some of the resulting symptoms. Diabetes Type 2 usually develops in people over 55 years and the risk increases with age.

Data first published in New Scientist in August 2000 (3) found that cinnamon enhances the ability of fat cells in diabetics to respond to insulin and increases glucose uptake by cells.

The ingredient active of cinnamon is a water-soluble polyphenol compound called methyl hydroxy chalcone polymer (MHCP). In laboratory tests, the MHCP has been shown to mimic insulin, activate the insulin receptor and promote the effects of insulin in the cells previously resistant (3).

In a human clinical trial (4), volunteers with type 2 diabetes received doses of cinnamon powder, in capsules after meals. All volunteers in the study responded to the effects of cinnamon, with an average level sugar in the blood of 20% less than in the placebo control group, some up to normal levels of blood sugar.

Besides the positive effects on levels of blood sugar, the cinnamon taking also showed significantly lower levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.

Test tube experiments have indicated that cinnamon also neutralizes free radicals, which tend to be elevated in diabetics.

In fact, cinnamon helps to sensitize the cells to the effects of insulin which reduces blood sugar levels in the blood, making this an extremely useful tool in the management of diabetes. Cinnamon is potentially a very beneficial addition to conventional medications for diabetes however, is important for people to talk about diabetes medicine your doctor before use.

Reviews

not too sweet, just right

by Carol Ryan from on 2010-09-06
i personally enjoy this tea biscuit since it is not too sweet (like a cookie), and not like a cracker. I enjoy with tea - either when I am driving to work early in the morning, or when I want a snack. It is great to keep a package at work or in the car for a quick treat without too many calories. It satisfies me until the next meal.


Orange and dark chocolate...yum...

by Lynn from on 2010-07-30
One of my favorite flavor combinations is orange and dark chocolate. I saw these on my grocery store shelf one day & decided to give them a try. I wasn't totally sure of what I was getting. The word 'biscuit' confused me, but I'd heard that the British use that word for cookie. The biscuit is more of a soft cookie about 1/4" thick; it's topped with a stiff orange jelly & iced with a thin layer of dark chocolate icing. One of these cookies will satisfy my craving. I tried the raspberry flavor, but prefer the orange.Serving Size: 2 Servings per 5.29 oz Container: 6 Calories: 100 Total Fat: 3 g ~Saturated Fat: 1.5g ~Trans Fat: 0 Cholesterol: 10mg Sodium: 35mg Total Carbohydrate: 17 g Dietary Fiber: 0 Sugars: 14g Protein:


I prefer raspberry

by C. Hanson from on 2010-07-14
These are well made, delightful cookies. Very sweet. I ordered 'em three times but in the raspberry flavor. Tried the orange but the orangey taste dosen't seem to come through enough. The chocolate topping is the very best.Just choose your flavor. Great cookies to serve guests.Fancy and delicious.


Fabulous!

by Virginia K. Jordan from Dallas, TX USA on 2010-07-09
These are marvelous treats. Delicate, cinnamony flavored. Crisp, delightful texture. I'd order them from Belgium if I couldn't get them through Amazon.


Long Standing Favorite!

by R. D. Smith from Southern Oregon USA on 2010-05-15
I have known these butter cookies for close to 18 years, since a lovely French lady...a.k.a., my wife, introduced them to me. We enjoy them plain, but usually spread a bit of jam on them. We both consider them an extraordinarily delicious treat!
