Just had some blood work done. I'm going to pick up a written report later today but if I heard the dr correctly my lipase and amalyse were like 7 and 14. Isn't that kind of low?
It also showed I'm pre diabetic. So I've been reading that cinnamon can lower blood glucose levels. I've been eating lots of carbs like white rice, cereal because it has no fat. Gotta stop that !!!
There is good and bad cinnamon. I've got a huge bottle from Costco...Saigon Cinnamon which has high levels of coumarin which is toxic! YIKES...I've been using cinnamon for months, putting it in my coffee every morning, in my cereal.
There are two types...Cassia is the bad stuff Ceylon is the good type.
If you have been using cinnamon regularly 3 times or more a week, check what kind you use.
I'm throwing mine out and going to get the safe kind.

I also eat cinnamon on my cereal every day. I believe it is supposed to lower your glucose levels and mine are always normal. I get the ceylon kind from Pensey's, I also get the Vietnamese from them as I like the differences in flavor. their spices are organic, so less additives, etc. They are online, but also have stores in some areas. There's one near me in Boston and I love the smell when I go into the store. I love cinnamon but not in my coffee, I put cocoa and vanilla powder in my coffee. Vanilla powder is the ground vanilla pod, so no alcohol.
