    Here's the reason why cinnamon is good in your diet....it helps to keep your blood sugars level. That's why diabetics use it! :)

    I don't know about any metabolism increasing properties. That just sounds too gimmicky.

    However... I can say from personal experience that it can lessen MY appetite a bit. It's not a fix-all and it doesn't stop me from feeling hungry when I really should eat, but it does help alleviate some of the cravings/munchies I get sometimes. I usually sprinkle a bit on my cereal in the morning (probably about 1/8 tsp) and sometimes on various planned snacks during the day (apple slices, cinnamon toast, in yogurt with fruit, etc.)

    Hey, it works for me...

    omg, please don't listen to any of these jokesters about eating the tsp of cinnamon. you need to mix it into something or eat it on toast, put a bit in water, into potatos, whatever, just do not eat dry cinnamon by itself! this is really bad for your health and lungs.

    hope you didn't do it yet! lol

    Cinnamon can help with blood sugar levels. For weight loss, cinnamon will not do much. I add cinnamon to my daily oatmeal, about 1/2 tsp.

    For a good summary of some of the health benefits of cinnamon with references to peer reviewed or refereed reseach journal articles, see http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=68 In some studies, the amounts that are being found to be beneficial for blood sugar levels are even lower than those you mentioned. This article doesn't mention any weight loss effects, just better blood sugar control (as well as other health effects such as anti-clotting, anti-microbial activity). There are also other articles on the site explaining about different kinds of cinnamon.
    Good luck!
