"Cinnamon affects cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose transport -- all
reported in clinical trials,' says Don Graves, Ph.D., a professor of
biochemistry at the University of California in Santa Barbara. In a 2003 study,
researchers supplemented the diets of 60 diabetic men and women with one, three,
or six grams (just more than one teaspoon) of cinnamon daily. After 40 days,
subjects' levels of ldl cholesterol fell by as much as 26 percent. 'There was no
difference in the effects at one gram or six,' Graves says."
