What it does

Some trials show small fasting-glucose effects; others show none. A spice, not a therapy.

Why there is no number here

No lifespan study covers cinnamon. Rather than invent a figure, we say so. What it does have evidence for is blood sugar. Plenty of good food has no mortality data behind it — that does not make it bad, it makes it unmeasured.

What it is made of

How to eat it

Flavour first. Don't megadose.

দারুচিনি

কিছু ট্রায়ালে সামান্য প্রভাব, কিছুতে কিছুই না। একে মশলা ভাবুন, ওষুধ নয়।

স্বাদের জন্যই — বেশি খাওয়ার দরকার নেই।

এর আয়ু নিয়ে কোনো তথ্য নেই — তাই আমরা কোনো সংখ্যা বসাই না।
