Here's some great news - Watkins Cinnamon
doesn't just taste great, cinnamon is good for your Health TOO!
CINNAMON KILLS BACTERIA. New research has shown that cinnamon is a powerful protector
against E. coli, the bacteria that causes 10,000 to 20,000 cases of food-borne illness
each year in the U.S. Microbiologists at Kansas State University contaminated samples of
apple juice with 1 million E. coli bacteria (about 100 times the number of bacteria
usually found in contaminated food). They discovered that 1 tsp of cinnamon powder killed
99.5 percent of the bacteria in the juice in 3 days. That's a good thing, because the
fewer bacteria you ingest, the less likely you are to get sick. Researchers deducted that
cinnamon could also have anti-microbial effects on other food-borne illnesses. It inhibits
growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses, helping to ward off infections and helps to easy
symptoms of diarrhea.
Cinnamon also improves glucose and lipids of
people With Type 2 Diabetes and helps to keep blood sugar levels steady and aids in
digestion by enhancing breakdown of proteins and fats.
