I did my own trial on it my a1c is down to 6.5 and BP drop has caused them to lower my lisinopril. It goes great in a breakfast smoothie. Good post! I am sharing it to my FB acct.
Hi dear Dr.., thank you so much for all the guidance. Yes, you are spot on with the Cinnamon. I’m a Sri Lankan/American. Visiting Sri Lanka these days. My father in law grows Cinnamon here in Sri Lanka. He is very proud of his Cinnamon grow. Sri Lanka was formerly called “Ceylon” during the time it was under the British colonization. It is like Ceylon tea ☕️. The best Cinnamon in the world is Ceylon Cinnamon. It is pronounced “Silon” even though it starts with a “C” again thank you for all your teachings and guidance. 🙏🏽💐❤️
Thank you for this! I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant a few months ago. Sadly we lost the baby. When I was ordered to take blood test to see if my blood sugar level went back to normal they found out I was already pre-diabetic. The first thing I bought was Bitter Melon supplements. This has been known in the Philippines for decades to help lower bloodsugar. So far its been helping a lot. I'll try taking cinnamon with my coffee to see if my results will improve more.
Dr Berg, could you please summarise all of your diabetic videos and put into a quick guide for dummies with what to take, when to take it and which exercises to do. Many thanks.
For breakfast I eat a cup of my wife’s homemade yogurt with a spoonful of Vietnamese cinnamon on it. I add pumpkin seeds, ground flax seeds and MCT oil. I usually add a cup of blueberries. It’s nutritious and delicious.
Maria, how did you determine how many mg. to take daily ? Dr. Berg is only referring to powdered form, but since my diet is very limited, I will not be ingesting the powdered form. Thank you for any advice.
I used cinnamon for years with success but when I stopped (probably ran out and forgot about it) my insulin levels increased and I am now considered Type 2. Thanks for this video and the reminder, I've started adding cinnamon to my iced coffee and will begin taking capsules on a daily basis as soon as my order arrives.
Dr Berg, It is pronounced as "c" as the letter C and "lone" in alone put together. Some people pronounce the latter part as "lon" in Salon but growing up as their neighbour (India) we always call them as I mentioned. It is the other name for Sri Lanka. You may also want to check out the benefits of fenugreek seeds. Thanks for all the info as usual.
I can attest to this working wonders! Well tbh I'm not 100% sure if it's the cinnamon itself but I've been taken a mix of spices which includes ginger, cinnamon, Cardamoms, Cloves, black pepper and nutmeg ( ingredients written in that order) and adding it to my tea first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening after my last meal and I've seen a 20% decrease in my fasting blood glucose - from pre diabetic numbers to excellent numbers in the 4s!!!I also tried it post pandrial ( within 2hrs after consuming my meal and saw numbers I've never seem before, this is even after eating foods with carbs like rice and a half glass of baileys 😉. I am a sceptical person so I didnt want to believe that it was the spice mix but the numbers I was seeing were insanely low compared to before I started taking these spices. In addition, the researcher in me even went as far as experimenting with going some days without taking these spices on a normal carb diet and lo and behold my pre numbers came back again! Not sure if this is a good sign though as it suggests the effects of this mix are short term 🤔 if within a couple of days the numbers go up again. But anyway 1 or more of the ingredients I have listed does have an effect and I think combining it with a low carb lifestyle would be the best approach.
I roast coffee beans and then add cinnamon while they are still smokin' hot and I really like it! I also take cinnamon and make my own supplements for extra benefit. Been doing this for years - mainly for circulation. What a difference. And, thank you Dr. Berg because I now have more reason to keep taking it.
@@amaama3656 well, that answers my question about using the powder in a cup of tea ! But, if I buy it in sticks, I will simply break off a piece and let it steep in the cup of hot water for awhile. ❤️
Add cinnamon to scrambled eggs, it's absolutely fantastic. Best method, when you heat the frying pan use butter to coat the pan (I guess lard would work too, but I use butter) and add the cinnamon to the melted butter in the pan. That's because cinnamon isn't water soluble so it won't dissolve into eggs but it is fat soluble so adding it to the butter works a treat. When you add your egg mix and start scrambling it you'll basically be mixing in the butter and cinnamon in a very consistent fashion.
Cinnamon can be snuck into many things like soups, stews, stir fry. I use it in my main course meals 90% of the time. Wouldn’t even know it’s in there but we all get the benefits.
Moroccan coffee recipe is good for diabetes: Ingredients ½ cup dark roasted coffee, freshly ground or whole bean. 1 tsp ground cinnamon. 1 tsp ground ginger. ½ tsp ground nutmeg. ½ tsp ground cardamom. ½ tsp ground clove. ½ tsp ground black pepper. ½ tsp ground star anise.
Ceylon /SriLanka our spices are the best. Not only Cinnamon but Turmeric as well, Srilankan turmeric has double the amount of curcumin than any other. Also we have a range of traditional rice which has lots of healing properties ( used in our traditional medicine )
I am glad to see this video. Specially because of Ceylon(si-laahn) cinnamon. 😊. I am a Sri lanakan and my mom teaches me to drink a glass of cinnamon water or a glass of water soaked in fenugreek if I feel my sugar level is high. I love sweets. But I control it a lot now. Sometimes I eat a lot of sweets and I feel/notice the high sugar level, so I drink either cinnamon or fenugreek soaked water on the same day. My symptoms disappear then. Dr.Berg, please educate everyone about fenugreek too. I really appreciate your free health education via TH-cam.
@@Drberg I have been educating Myself towards a healthy life style for last couple of years . I respect your knowledge and the efforts that you are making to help the people in need . You are inspiring millions of people to live a healthy life. I have strong belief in Ayurveda and sometimes your suggestions and advise goes hand in hand with the ancient practices . Feeling honoured to get comment from you. Keep going 👍
On special occasions where my husband & I indulge in sugary carbs, we take several cinnamon capsules. It always keeps out BS numbers in check. It's amazing.
I put cinnamon in my daily cup of coffee. It's delicious! Mind you, it doesn't dissolve, so have to swirl the last mouthful of coffee to mix the cinnamon in (that has sunk to the bottom of the cup) and then quickly tip the cup to drink the last mouthful. It feels a bit 'grainy' when you swallow, but you get used to that. 😊😊☕
The best way in my opinion to consume Cinnamon regularly is in Tea form drinking it. You can just make whatever Tea you want, like and just drop or break a larger stick of Cinnamon in it and let it flavor out in the hot liquid tea.
@@earthishome1866 I can’t explicitly say if it does or not. I don’t think it does though. Cinnamon in powdered form is grinder down from a bark of a tree. That’s where Cinnamon sticks comes from. Cinnamon sticks or fresher Cinnamon in form have a more intense flavor and aroma. Cinnamon buy it’s properties and including what the good doctor has already said in the video basically helps to regulate sugar in the body and it’s very effective in doing so. Use good quality Cinnamon spice, the fresher the better. Stuff that’s been sitting for years in powdered form on a grocery shelf is obviously just not as good and has lost much it’s effective potency.
Hi Eric, I love your work, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I must ask, would it be possible to mention recommended dosages and products please or at least some information to guide us towards what to look for and what to avoid. Thank you kindly.
I include 1 Heaping Table spoon of Cinnamon to my ground Coffee every morning and make About 8 cups of coffee...... I also mix it in with my cottage cheese and Pineapple when I want a sweet snack....
Thank you Dr Beth did another helpful video 🙏 After watching your IF videos 3 years ago, I have lost 60lbs and now weight 147lbs and feel great 👍 I always add a good dose of ground cinnamon in my porridge 🥣 each day and occasionally boil cinnamon sticks to make tea ☕️- it all helps 👍
Thanks Dr. Berg. I know this is accurate information because since January I have been dosing my coffee with a mixed spice blend that includes Cinnamon. It's a Moroccan recipe and uses about 15 different spices. I was suffering from burning ankles and shins but those symptoms have gone away and now I know why.
In my family we put cinnamon( the original from Sri Lanka, yes it may be a bit more expensive but great and flavorful)sticks to the coffee when brewing or cinnamon tea with oatmeal. Also with other daily food. Great info 😀
Oh wow. That's a great idea. Just plopping a stick into your coffee cup... Rather than adding ground cinnamon to it. Ground cinnamon I sometimes find hard to mix into certain things.
I take vanilla ice cream and cinnamon and cayenne and sprinkle with any nuts you like also some coffee granules or mocha mix then pour chocolate hard shell over it😎🥰😋 so yummy.
For years I put Ceylon to my coffee every morning; I don’t have diabetes, and I used to consume a lot of sugar. Now a lower my sugar intake to the minimum. I feel good 😊
Recipe for keto cinnamon toast: Slices of Keto bread, slabs of butter, dust well with cinnamon powder. Make sure all the powdered cinnamon is mixed with the melted butter (even premix butter and cinnamon.
As an experiment, I took 3-4 gms of Cinnamon after lunch and dinner for 2 weeks without my regular medication and noticed that it was as effective as my drugs. Since then, I have stopped taking my post meal drugs. It has greatly helped calm down my neuropathy of feet, enabling me to sleep undisturbed. Additionally, I have also been taking about 10gms of fiber dissolved in water for satiety and to slow the glycemic load.
@@cigileyAtTR Yes, Srilankan Cinnamon. Cassia, which is of Chinese origin is high in Coumarin which when taken in the same quantity can damage the liver!

Cinnamon (ceylon=sri lanka) For those who are not aware Cinnamon is native to sri lanka. India, myanmar and other south american countries. Sri lanka and India consume cinnamon in their everyday meals. But their sugar intake is way beyond comparing other things.
Love cinnamon, especially cinnamon rolls, which turned into belly rolls, so cinnamon got me into this diabetic mess, so I have cut them out. Now I will add the cinnamon to my bulletproof coffee every morning. Thank you for all your great videos. They help a lot. I am 66 and all my life I've got nothing but nutritional lies. Thank you because now I am on the right track losing weight and eating right while fasting. Dr. Eric Berg Rules!
VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE: that the effect of blunting blood sugar spikes is specific to “CASSIA CINNAMON” which is also known as Cinnamomum cassia (Chinese cinnamon). Studies showed that 2 teaspoons of “cassia cinnamon” powder blunts blood sugar up-to 12 hours and it was because of it’s high amount of “COUMARIN,” BUT studies have also shown that just a teaspoon a day of “cassia cinnamon” can show toxicity to the liver so it was advised to switch to ceylon cinnamon removing the coumarin toxicity but also the benefit of blunting glucose, HOWEVER it is still advised to take about a teaspoon of ceylon cinnamon per day for it’s antioxidant benefit
Agree ive heard this before and that there really isnt much evidence that Ceylon Cinnamon lower blood sugar only Cassia cinnamon but may be advised to take low doses or take a few weeks on and off to prevent any liver Toxicity
Dr. Berg, I love your videos and I learn a lot from you. AND, I do wish you would differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes! They are very different and the public doesn't realize that because of people on youtube and elsewhere who just lump it all together. I'd love it if you would include links to some of your sources with each video.
So so so true! I’ve type 1; I very much get and appreciate your input consequently. (Note too I’ve made similar comments on this channel. Berg hasn’t addressed them ever, unfortunately. Pretty disappointing to say the least.😚)
Since I started taking cinnamon, my appetite increased, but my weight did not increase. The most significant benefit I found is that we all sleep so much better now, more deep sleeps and feeling relaxed! I shared the supplement with my husband and brother, all found the same thing! Thank you Doctor Berg, I. Have been following you for a few years now, you have completely changed my life❤❤❤❤❤❤
My keto treat is homemade Almond/pecan butter made with organic coconut oil and sweetened with stevia. I add 3 TBSP pf cinnamon to 4 cups of nuts. I also steep one stick of muddled cinnamon with 1/3 cup of hibiscus leaves 6-8 cloves and 1/4 cup of crushed coriander to a liter of water.
I start putting cinnamon in my tea and coffee a few weeks ago not knowing i was helping myself i just felt like doing it. I will make this my new task. Thanks Dr.
Have you considered that one of the main benefits of cinnamon is that it is very high in soluable fiber? Place a table spoon or it into a cup and add water. After it sits for a while it turns jelatinous.
Greetings Dr Berg. Your knowingness on Cinnamon Ceylon is very interesting & informative. I'm very happy that you brought this to us. I do realize though, that the photos of cinnamon you have in his video does not look like Ceylon. For those of us who are looking at this video and want to know what Ceylon looks like and want to buy some, I don't these photos are the real Ceylon. Give thanks for your great information as usual!
Since watching this video I've been putting Celon Cinnamon into my morning coffee, also I've replaced my brown sugar with organic honey, its lovely. Thanks Doc.
I've been drinking spice tea with cinnamon for past few weeks because I'm addicted to the flavor. NOW.... I will be adding cinnamon to my fat bombs. My jaw dropped when you said "cinnamon buns and cinnamon toast", then laughed so hard when you confessed your sarcasm. Being Scot Irish.....we love that kind of humor. ❤
I love cinnamon and use it every day when I have my oatmeal. I did research years ago which cinnamon I should use since I eat so much. And that cinnamon is Ceylon. I buy it online by the pound. It's around $25/lb.
I always go back to this channel, Dr. Berg is always clear and straight to the point. Thank you for sharing this great information. After following Dr. Berg's advise I got normal A1C 6.0 last Nov30 from 9.7 last Sep. Thank you for giving hope while others think of this as a progressive disease. I could not say it's totally reversed already, I'm still strict on my low carb diet and will continue to monitor my A1C.
I used to take cassia cinnamon for a year until later I found out it can cause damage to my liver since i'm T2D. I immediately switched to Ceylon , really like the taste as it tasted better than cassia. last month I went to the hospital and my A1c has decreased about 0.3 normal range. besides, I'm also taking Benfotiamine & ALA as additional supplement on a daily basis.
@@captainfuture2882 yes. U can find the info everywhere online.Cassia contains Coumarin which can be toxic harmful when consume in large doses.It is much safer to choose Ceylon if you eat a lot of cinnamon.
@@captainfuture2882 No need to waste that wrong kind of cinnamon...holidays are coming, so boil some - to add cinnamon fragrance to your home - and use the rest to make cinnamon ornaments using cookie cutters - as holiday gifts for friends and family.
Sri Lanka was called Ceylon during the British era. That’s why that name go along with cinnamon because they used to export them to Europe during that time. Sri Lanka is small island in South Asia. As a Sri Lankan,we even use cinnamon as a spice and flavoring aging for our curries. It has some marvelous results if you could use it on daily basis.
Ceylon means Srilanka. That was its oldern name. So the best cinnamon is exported by Srilanka around the world. Its most organic and everything hand picked. This spice is really good to control cholesterol as well.
I normally consume Ceylon cinnamon by adding it to my apple cider vinegar. I put a little ACV in a 16 oz water bottle & fill with water to the top. I add some cinnamon to it & take a few sips daily. I keep it refrigerated.
Really? My husband began taking cinnamon for quite some time but his diabetes just got worse and eventually killed him. What was up with that? Don't believe everything you read or hear. I know I don't.
This is great information Doc. I have added organic cinnamon to my coffee for some time now. I've also added Cayenne pepper to my diet as well. Please do a informative on Cayenne pepper, it's a serious anti inflammatory, and anti microbial spice.
I have found great benefit from cayenne pepper and then stop taking it because I hear something negative (eg., Trusty Rusty's comment - I went to read what Garret Smith says - something about cayenne depleting Substance P, a healing chemical in the body). I've used it previously to lose a lot of weight. I think it may suppress blood sugar and/or insulin spikes. I use it in the middle of the night when I wake up unable to go back to sleep - I'm often back to sleep less than an hour. Many herbalists swear that it will stop a heart attack. I've used it when I have heart and circulatory issues and it always seems to help. I've never heard Dr. Berg talk about it - I wish he would address as well. Thanks.

Hi dear Dr.., thank you so much for all the guidance. Yes, you are spot on with the Cinnamon. I’m a Sri Lankan/American. Visiting Sri Lanka these days. My father in law grows Cinnamon here in Sri Lanka. He is very proud of his Cinnamon grow. Sri Lanka was formerly called “Ceylon” during the time it was under the British colonization. It is like Ceylon tea ☕️. The best Cinnamon in the world is Ceylon Cinnamon. It is pronounced “Silon” even though it starts with a “C” again thank you for all your teachings and guidance. 🙏🏽💐❤️
Sinnamon?😁
@@bossdog1480 Ya Mon! 😁
I always thought it was pronounced "say-lon", thank you for the correction 😊
Thank you for this! I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant a few months ago. Sadly we lost the baby. When I was ordered to take blood test to see if my blood sugar level went back to normal they found out I was already pre-diabetic. The first thing I bought was Bitter Melon supplements. This has been known in the Philippines for decades to help lower bloodsugar. So far its been helping a lot. I'll try taking cinnamon with my coffee to see if my results will improve more.
How are you doing now?
Hows it going
You can chew on cinnamon bark. Or put it into tea.
Goes well in tea with green Cardamon. Delicious.
A beautiful drink , Sri Lanka staple
Dr Berg, could you please summarise all of your diabetic videos and put into a quick guide for dummies with what to take, when to take it and which exercises to do. Many thanks.
I have know this for 20 years, I really enjoy being reminded in such a wonderful clear hearted way!
My pleasure! Happy to help!
For breakfast I eat a cup of my wife’s homemade yogurt with a spoonful of Vietnamese cinnamon on it. I add pumpkin seeds, ground flax seeds and MCT oil. I usually add a cup of blueberries. It’s nutritious and delicious.
damn sounds good. i love that
Yummy
I was diagnosed yrs ago with pre diabetes. It worked great getting my a1c down
Maria, how did you determine how many mg. to take daily ? Dr. Berg is only referring to powdered form, but since my diet is very limited, I will not be ingesting the powdered form. Thank you for any advice.
What type of cinnamon did you take?
@@keithc8108 I take otc cinnamon. I take 1000 mg at night before bed. Make sure the capsules are closed tightly
@@keithc8108 also watch your carbs. 20 grams or less. Each meal
Since I've gone LCHF keto, I use heavy cream in my coffee and sprinkle it with cinnamon. It's delicious! Thanks for all you do 😊🙏
I used cinnamon for years with success but when I stopped (probably ran out and forgot about it) my insulin levels increased and I am now considered Type 2. Thanks for this video and the reminder, I've started adding cinnamon to my iced coffee and will begin taking capsules on a daily basis as soon as my order arrives.
So what was your diet like when you was taking cinnamon compared to when you stopped?
Dr Berg, It is pronounced as "c" as the letter C and "lone" in alone put together. Some people pronounce the latter part as "lon" in Salon but growing up as their neighbour (India) we always call them as I mentioned. It is the other name for Sri Lanka.
You may also want to check out the benefits of fenugreek seeds. Thanks for all the info as usual.
In the US, Ceylon is usually pronounced "say-Lawn" or "si-Lawn."
I can attest to this working wonders! Well tbh I'm not 100% sure if it's the cinnamon itself but I've been taken a mix of spices which includes ginger, cinnamon, Cardamoms, Cloves, black pepper and nutmeg ( ingredients written in that order) and adding it to my tea first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening after my last meal and I've seen a 20% decrease in my fasting blood glucose - from pre diabetic numbers to excellent numbers in the 4s!!!I also tried it post pandrial ( within 2hrs after consuming my meal and saw numbers I've never seem before, this is even after eating foods with carbs like rice and a half glass of baileys 😉. I am a sceptical person so I didnt want to believe that it was the spice mix but the numbers I was seeing were insanely low compared to before I started taking these spices. In addition, the researcher in me even went as far as experimenting with going some days without taking these spices on a normal carb diet and lo and behold my pre numbers came back again! Not sure if this is a good sign though as it suggests the effects of this mix are short term 🤔 if within a couple of days the numbers go up again. But anyway 1 or more of the ingredients I have listed does have an effect and I think combining it with a low carb lifestyle would be the best approach.
I roast coffee beans and then add cinnamon while they are still smokin' hot and I really like it! I also take cinnamon and make my own supplements for extra benefit. Been doing this for years - mainly for circulation. What a difference. And, thank you Dr. Berg because I now have more reason to keep taking it.
Florida Gurl, I feel that the majority of folks are missing his point. The Ceylon cinnamon is good for health. The other, clearly is bad.

This is timely, thank you so much. My mama recently was told she's prediabetic . I will share this with her.
Add cinnamon to scrambled eggs, it's absolutely fantastic. Best method, when you heat the frying pan use butter to coat the pan (I guess lard would work too, but I use butter) and add the cinnamon to the melted butter in the pan. That's because cinnamon isn't water soluble so it won't dissolve into eggs but it is fat soluble so adding it to the butter works a treat. When you add your egg mix and start scrambling it you'll basically be mixing in the butter and cinnamon in a very consistent fashion.
Cinnamon is so beneficial. I've been taking cinnamon supplements for many years and I believe it has helped to keep my blood sugar lower.
Cinnamon can be snuck into many things like soups, stews, stir fry. I use it in my main course meals 90% of the time. Wouldn’t even know it’s in there but we all get the benefits.
I'm gonna share this with my Family. My father has diabetes. Thank you, Dr Berg. ❤❤❤

Thank you Dr. Berg. Also, I’ve heard that Cayenne pepper is used for Peripheral Neuropathy.
I put cinnamon in my daily cup of coffee. It's delicious! Mind you, it doesn't dissolve, so have to swirl the last mouthful of coffee to mix the cinnamon in (that has sunk to the bottom of the cup) and then quickly tip the cup to drink the last mouthful. It feels a bit 'grainy' when you swallow, but you get used to that. 😊😊☕
The best way in my opinion to consume Cinnamon regularly is in Tea form drinking it. You can just make whatever Tea you want, like and just drop or break a larger stick of Cinnamon in it and let it flavor out in the hot liquid tea.
Does cinnamon tea break a fast?
@@earthishome1866 I can’t explicitly say if it does or not. I don’t think it does though. Cinnamon in powdered form is grinder down from a bark of a tree. That’s where Cinnamon sticks comes from. Cinnamon sticks or fresher Cinnamon in form have a more intense flavor and aroma. Cinnamon buy it’s properties and including what the good doctor has already said in the video basically helps to regulate sugar in the body and it’s very effective in doing so. Use good quality Cinnamon spice, the fresher the better. Stuff that’s been sitting for years in powdered form on a grocery shelf is obviously just not as good and has lost much it’s effective potency.

The doc is great
As an experiment, I took 3-4 gms of Cinnamon after lunch and dinner for 2 weeks without my regular medication and noticed that it was as effective as my drugs. Since then, I have stopped taking my post meal drugs. It has greatly helped calm down my neuropathy of feet, enabling me to sleep undisturbed.
Additionally, I have also been taking about 10gms of fiber dissolved in water for satiety and to slow the glycemic load.
Were you taking 3-4 grams twice a day? Do you take Cassia or Ceylon Cinnamon?
@@cigileyAtTR Yes, Srilankan Cinnamon. Cassia, which is of Chinese origin is high in Coumarin which when taken in the same quantity can damage the liver!
What is the name of the product you take for fiber? Also, what is your A1c and did it lower your blood sugar?
Dr Berg's advice is made of spice & everything nice 😊🥰 Thanks Dr Berg 😇
Great video Dr. Eric . I take ceylon cinnamon every day with my yogurt and tea or coffee , and with low carb and high fat -- soluble fiber food intake , i keep my glucose A1C between 4.5 to 5.5 to 5 8 every day ; no medication what so ever , just proper exercise and nourishing food . and fiends dont forget turmeric and garlic ,e.v.o.o., cod liver oil, omega 3s etc.Thank you DOCTOR for your great video , you are awesome .👍👍👍👍👍

Cinnamon (ceylon=sri lanka)
For those who are not aware
Cinnamon is native to sri lanka. India, myanmar and other south american countries.
Sri lanka and India consume cinnamon in their everyday meals.
But their sugar intake is way beyond comparing other things.
Love cinnamon, especially cinnamon rolls, which turned into belly rolls, so cinnamon got me into this diabetic mess, so I have cut them out. Now I will add the cinnamon to my bulletproof coffee every morning. Thank you for all your great videos. They help a lot. I am 66 and all my life I've got nothing but nutritional lies. Thank you because now I am on the right track losing weight and eating right while fasting. Dr. Eric Berg Rules!
VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE: that the effect of blunting blood sugar spikes is specific to “CASSIA CINNAMON” which is also known as Cinnamomum cassia (Chinese cinnamon). Studies showed that 2 teaspoons of “cassia cinnamon” powder blunts blood sugar up-to 12 hours and it was because of it’s high amount of “COUMARIN,” BUT studies have also shown that just a teaspoon a day of “cassia cinnamon” can show toxicity to the liver so it was advised to switch to ceylon cinnamon removing the coumarin toxicity but also the benefit of blunting glucose, HOWEVER it is still advised to take about a teaspoon of ceylon cinnamon per day for it’s antioxidant benefit
Yeah I have read the exact same thing x
Agree ive heard this before and that there really isnt much evidence that Ceylon Cinnamon lower blood sugar only Cassia cinnamon but may be advised to take low doses or take a few weeks on and off to prevent any liver Toxicity
and neither will do anything for actual diabetes (type 1) since most actual diabetics have a pancreas that doesnt produce any insulin at all.
This video really made me happy. My mom got diabetes and she is struggling. I hope this'll help. She doesn't like cinnamon tho

Sri Lanka was called Ceylon during the British era. That’s why that name go along with cinnamon because they used to export them to Europe during that time. Sri Lanka is small island in South Asia. As a Sri Lankan,we even use cinnamon as a spice and flavoring aging for our curries. It has some marvelous results if you could use it on daily basis.
Ceylon means Srilanka. That was its oldern name. So the best cinnamon is exported by Srilanka around the world. Its most organic and everything hand picked. This spice is really good to control cholesterol as well.

Look up garret Smith nutrition detective. Definitely don't eat cayenne pepper very bad for liver.
I have found great benefit from cayenne pepper and then stop taking it because I hear something negative (eg., Trusty Rusty's comment - I went to read what Garret Smith says - something about cayenne depleting Substance P, a healing chemical in the body). I've used it previously to lose a lot of weight. I think it may suppress blood sugar and/or insulin spikes. I use it in the middle of the night when I wake up unable to go back to sleep - I'm often back to sleep less than an hour. Many herbalists swear that it will stop a heart attack. I've used it when I have heart and circulatory issues and it always seems to help. I've never heard Dr. Berg talk about it - I wish he would address as well. Thanks.
