From what I've read about cinnamon it's fantastic. It's LOADED with anti-oxidants. I can't remember the exact ratio but it's something like the antioxidants in a tsp of cinnamon is the same as a cup of blueberries. Dang it, I can't find my source....
The oils in cinnamon act as an anti-microbial and it also has compounds that have insulin-ish properties that help regulate blood sugar. That's my own medical terminology
I googled it several months ago after I read a short article at my drs office about it. Until then I had no idea is was such a beneficial spice. I sneak it into everything I can for my kids and myself

I've read that you're supposed to limit the amount you take every day to......?... maybe 2 grams it said?
Also i would take milk thistle with it, to protect the liver.
The reason it helps delay post-prandial blood sugar spikes, i think, is because it slows down the passage of sugar in the liver? And it can be a little hard on the liver and kidneys?
So it's for regulating blood sugar every day in limited amounts.
