Healthy spice: Cinnamon lowers high cholesterol levels and helps with diabetes. Scientists at the University of Naples published the study.
Cinnamon has a beneficial effect on blood lipid levels and counteracts inflammatory processes. Only 30 percent of cholesterol levels can be influenced by diet, and regular exercise can also help. Medical experts warn: Cinnamon in very large quantities is too much of a good thing. It contains the active ingredient coumarin. For this substance, which affects blood clotting, there are maximum food limits in the European Union.
