Interesting article, thanks. Reminds me I need to get back to taking some every day, primarily for the anti-oxidants. 

I seem to read a lot about the health benefits of cinnamon these days. Now if only that meant cinnamon buns were good for you! 

cinnamon is terrific for you, I'm blocked from this link @ work but will read it later.  

Sproe....funny! 

Oh god, cinnamon buns <3 

LOL - Yolanda! 

Thanks for the article. I had forgotten how good it was for you, I used to take it on a daily basis but forgot why. There is a recipe out there for Muffin in a Minute, it's an Atkins diet recipe but we eat it sometimes anyway because its a muffin that's good for you. It can be made plain of with a whole teaspoon of cinnamon in it.  

Cool article, I have always heard it was good for you and have been shaking it into my protein shakes for about the last six months. 

Love cinnamon. Have it in my coffee every morning. It also helps arthritis, and know first hand that's true. Glad you posted the article... 

I will make cinnamon buns this Christmas. I will make a batch... extra sugar, extra cinnamon, drizzled with syrup... I'll take them to work and have one. Honest! 

I just drooled on my computer.... 

You must at least post a picture of them so we can feast with our eyes. 

I will do that and post the picture when the time comes. Rockies - what else is in the shake? Thinking it would be good with a frozen banana and a tbsp of almond butter? 

Oh my god I miss cinnamon buns  

Good article. I add it to my coffee grounds most days, right now I'm almost out, need to go buy another pound.  

I love cinnamon, I take a capsule every day. Just make you get Ceylon cinnamon and not Cassia cinnamon, which comes from a different plant called Cinnamomum Cassia. Big difference.  

Right the cassia is a different plant and is often substituted as flavoring as it is cheaper.  

I was reading about that. The cassia plant is often called ba$#ard cinnamon and can be hard on the liver for anyone with liver issues. 

It has more of coumarin which can be toxic in certain amounts. True cinnamon has a trace amount, not enough to be toxic. For occasional use cassia cinnamon is okay but it also does not taste as good.
