In addition, cinnamon is now hailed for its power to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose levels. It's also been shown to lower cholesterol and triglyceride blood levels. Unfortunately, the data thus far has been inconsistent. Nevertheless, even small amounts of cinnamon may be effective. One study showed that the equivalent of just one-half teaspoon of cinnamon powder twice daily before meals lowered fasting glucose in people with diabetes.
