The POWER of Cinnamon!

Don't forget another one of it's major virtues; it lowers your blood pressure, not to mention the cinnamon challenge....

Not enough details to convince anyone that Cinnamon is as powerful as you say. Garlic is more powerful than Cinnamon.
Please give more details to prove your case.

Curcamin is the active ingredient in a type of cinnamon called turmeric.

It's long been used to fight against cancer, especially in the gut and colon.

Ceylon Cinnamon is the healthy one....Saigon and cheap grocery store brand cinnamons are DANGEROUS at recommended 'health benefit' levels!

Do some research, folks...partial truths can be deadly!

I thought this was gonna be about that hotty AnonymousGirl.

Now before you go rushing out to purchase cinnamon you should know a thing or two; be certain that you buy premium or grade A cinnamon. Look for the volatile oil content; that's what gives cinnamon its flavor. It should have at least 2% volatile oil.

There are three types of cinnamon to consider: Korintje Cassia cinnamon, Vietnamese cinnamon, and Sri Lankan or Ceylon cinnamon.

Korintje cassia cinnamon comes from Indonesia, usually Sumatra. It comes from the cassia tree, not the true cinnamon tree, and is the cinnamon we are most familiar with. Good quality Korintje cassia is sweet and mellow. Lower quality cinnamon, the B and C grades commonly sold in the stores, is often bitter and astringent. You can tell the difference by tasting it. Dab a little on your finger and put it in your mouth. Premium Korintje cassia cinnamon will be smooth with an almost citrus tone.

Vietnamese cinnamon also comes from the cassia tree but it has a very different tone resulting in a different experience when baked. Botanically, it is the same but is harvested and processed differently resulting in the different flavor. It is stronger and spicier with more cinnamon oil flavor. It is delightful in apple and pumpkin pies and desserts.

Ceylon cinnamon is true cinnamon coming from the cinnamon tree. In some parts of the world, it is preferred over cassia cinnamon. It is less pronounced in flavor and has a more citrus overtone. [5]

Each variety has its merits and I recommend trying them all. Remember not to overbuy as spices do lose their potency and freshness over time. Try to purchase no more than what is needed for 1 year.

What's wrong with Saigon cinnamon?

Supplementation with cinnamon may lower blood pressure in pre-diabetic and diabetic people, but it’s too early to make recommendations, says a new meta-analysis.

You will get an STD if you consume Saigon cinnamon.

I always put it in my coffee as it evens out blood sugar levels.

1 lb hamburger meat
1 egg
juice of one orange, grate the peel and save it to mix in
1 chopped onion
garlic to taste
about 2 tbs cinnamon
dash black pepper and salt to taste

mix well but don't overwork it. shape into small patties and fry.

Mm! My favorite Vietnamese restaurant puts cinnamon in some of their soups. I swear they use sorcery to make that broth!

the cinnamon challenge

before this dark barbaric age it was custom to bath occasionally in goats creamy milk..or donkeys milk with cinnamon and honey

living for the present

now its a quick shower and try to dodge the traffic jams

We didn't really need to know that did we?

LOL!! You're cracking me up today.

Seriously man, cinnamon. You want to know how to lower blood pressure and improve health - get out of your fracking cosy chair, stand up more. The only time you should be sitting is for meditation and the only time you should be laying is at night.

I drink it with my decaf coffee everyday as well, sweetened with local raw organic honey of course and topped off with almond milk.

Pervy! :D

2 onions, halved
4" nub of ginger, halved lengthwise
5-6 lbs of good beef bones, preferably leg and knuckle
1 lb of beef meat - chuck, brisket, rump, cut into large slices [optional]
6 quarts of water
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbl coriander seeds
1 tbl fennel seeds
5 whole star anise
1 cardamom pod
6 whole cloves
1 1/2 tablespoons Himalayan sea salt
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 inch chunk of yellow rock sugar (about 1 oz) - or 1oz of regular

Yup that's the stuff! Pho and bo kho and bun bo hue. :D I think I will get some tomorrow!

Sorry, cleavage on a dark haired beauty has that effect on me.

But can it avert a government default?
