USA Today reports preliminary University of Michigan research results indicating the active ingredient in cinnamon - cinnamaldehyde - may be used to speed up human metabolism. It could thus help with weight loss.
Just thinking about it makes me hungry. My cynical side wonders if Cinnabon® paid for the research.
Is it too good to be true? The effect apparently has been shown to work in mice. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.
