Cinnamon & Weight Loss - Gonna Try Some Cinnamon Rolls

On television last night they mentioned putting half a teaspoon of cinnamon in your coffee in the morning to help you lose weight - That doesn't sound that appealing, so decided to get my breadmaker out and make some cinnamon rolls - Should work about the same I guess:

If you think cinnamon is simply something to sprinkle on your holiday cookies or cappuccino, think again. The popular spice, once considered more precious than gold, has medicinal value that is making even pharmaceutical companies take notice.

Cinnamon...
•can have favorable effects on brain function and memory
•soothes the stomach, and may help prevent ulcers
•suppresses the bacteria that causes urinary tract infections and the fungus associated with yeast infections
•reduces cholesterol levels – in particular, lowering bad cholesterol while leaving good cholesterol the same
Of particular interest is cinnamon’s ability to reduce blood sugar, and increase insulin levels, results which were documented in a respected diabetes journal.

It is cinnamon’s effect on blood sugar that makes it a potential help in the war against obesity, insulin resistance, sometimes known as "prediabetes," and the "Metabolic Syndrome."

Cinnamon can be used in its powdered or stick form, adding it to drinks and foods, or as a supplement.
