I was just paging through a Woman's World magazine that my wife purchased and stumbled upon something that may interest you.
Excess blood sugar is converted to triglycerides by the liver. Abnormally high levels apparently can increase the risk of heart disease. Thankfully there is a tasty spice that can be beneficial in lowering these high levels of triglycerides - cinnamon. It stimulates the body to use the blood sugars before they are converted to triglycerides. According to this article, 1/2 teaspoon everyday can ease these high levels down to normal range in a month or so.
At our house, cinnamon is a very important part of serving oatmeal in the morning. The fiber in oatmeal help lower LDL cholesterol, but a sprinkle of cinnamon will also aid in triglyceride reduction at the same time. Try making your oatmeal with apple juice instead of water. It is much tastier; and you know how well apple and cinnamon combine. Saigon cinnamon is the best, most intense cinnamon. Wonderful.
