View Article  The government & Breastfeeding

June 11th
 

I watch less and less television these days, partly because many of my favourite programs have not been replaced with anything of comparable merit, but mostly because I simply can't handle the advertising any more - Viagra, anyone?

Perhaps I would have changed my mind if some advertisements touched on subjects of interest, such as promoting a cause particularly dear to my heart - breastfeeding.   Oh, they were planned by the Government ...

BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEE THEM!

View Article  Cinnamon & Diabetes

June 11th
 

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.
