When the studies on Cinnamon began to be much  talked about I wondered how long it would be before someone suggested cinnamon rolls might be beneficial.  Well, now Johns Hopkins is endorsing the research, and while this isn't quite cinnamon rolls, news outlets said the following:

"If you have type 2 diabetes, you may want to sprinkle cinnamon on your cappuccino."

According to the Johns Hopkins University newsletter Health After 50, a recent study found that when people with diabetes consumed between 1 and 3 grams of cinnamon daily, their blood glucose, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol levels dropped significantly.

Cinnamon extracts appear to enhance the efficiency of insulin and to help fat cells recognize and respond to the hormone.
