Cinnamon is best known as a spice, sprinkled on toast and lattes. But extracts from the bark of the cinnamon tree have also been used traditionally as medicine throughout the world. Some research has found that a particular type of cinnamon, cassia cinnamon, may lower blood sugar in people with diabetes.
Not only does it help diabetics avoid blood sugar spikes, but it also improves glucose use in the cell itself. Over time, cinnamon can reduce fasting blood glucose, and potentially cholesterol levels as well. Cinnamon does not need to be purchased specifically as a supplement, and can be found in grocery stores. It does contain a liver toxin called coumarin, which can be harmful in high doses. Making cinnamon tea can reduce the risk of coumarin poisoning, since the toxin is left behind in the leftover sediment.
