Food of the Week - Cinnamon
Cinnamon is being hailed as a wonder spice: cinnamon can improve glucose metabolism and the overall condition of individuals with diabetes -- improving cholesterol metabolism, removing artery-damaging free radicals from the blood, and improving function of small blood vessels. You can use cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon and sprinkle liberally to reap the benefits. Check out turmeric while you are in the spice aisle; turmeric fights cancer and eases the pain and swelling of arthritis and postoperative pain and swelling. Use occasionally to replace salt and pepper in your cooking.
