Doctor Puja looks at some of the negative side effects of using cinnamon for diabetes.  Hint: It's not good!

Hi Bannister here, let's

continue to Think Healthy.

Today, we're talking about

cinnamon & diabetes.

This is all you need to know:

STOP USING Cinnamon

as a substitute for proper medicines

when you're trying

to control for diabetes.

There's a lot of research out there

showing that Cinnamon does not cause

dramatic reductions in your A1C.

"I want you to understand

that Cinnamon does not

reduce blood sugars.

The research that was used to say

Cinnamon is good: that's all wrong.

In fact, the amount of risk

that you're

putting to your liver far outweighs

any good that may come from cinnamon.

So what works?

Exercise works.

A good diet works.

Taking your medicine on time works.

But wait, there's good news.

"You don't have to lose a lot of weight

just losing around

10 pounds does wonderful

things to your body and blood sugars."

There you have it: lose 10 pounds

& leave that cinnamon for your bun.
