Here are a couple links regarding cinnamon:

Quote:
The scientists say as little as half a teaspoon of cinnamon appeared to provide benefits that in some cases are nearly as dramatic as those produced by statins -- the cholesterol-lowering drugs that are taken by millions of Americans

(USA Today)

And here is why the public doesn't know the above:

Quote:
They found that the cost of statin therapy per patient per year is generally lower in diabetics with mildly elevated LDL ($600-$1,000) compared with LDL in the 130 mg/dL+ range ($700 to $2,100), depending on the statin prescribed.

I wonder what your annual cost for a half teaspoon of cinnamon per day would be?
