A recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition investigated the glucose-modulating effects of cinnamon spice when added daily to regular meals for 4 weeks. The study resulted in significantly reduced blood glucose concentrations in obese and overweight prediabetic individuals. Additionally, the study also highlighted the benefits of cinnamon and other polyphenol-rich spices in deterring chronic diseases and improving public health. This double-blind, crossover trial suggests that even 4g of cinnamon, consumed as garnishing or spice with daily meals, may improve prediabetes status and reduce the risk of diabetes in overweight individuals. The full text of the study can be found in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
