University of Michigan research finds an essential oil in cinnamon attacks fat cells and could be used as a treatment to fight obesity.

The research found the oil cinnamaldehyde boosts metabolic health by prodding fat cells to start burning energy — a process called thermogenesis.

"Cinnamon has been part of our diets for thousands of years, and people generally enjoy it," said Jun Wu, a research assistant professor at UM's Life Sciences Institute. "So if it can help protect against obesity, too, it may offer an approach to metabolic health that is easier for patients to adhere to."
Cinnamaldehyde gives cinnamon its flavor.

The research builds off cinnamaldehyde studies in mice, where the oil protected against obesity.

The new study, published in the December issue of the journal Metabolism, tested whether a similar effect would happen in humans.

Using fat cells from volunteers, researchers treated the cells — called adipocytes — with cinnamaldehyde. The results found an "increased expression" of genes and enzymes that boost metabolism while increasing proteins beneficial to thermogenesis.

Wu suggests cinnamaldehyde could be used to fight obesity by way of activating thermogenesis. But she held off on endorsing cinnamon as a weight-loss treatment until further study is done.

More research is needed to discover cinnamaldehyde's benefits and side effects.

Thought you were in jail, you lying kunt.

Who IS that masked man ???

I snort a fine line every morning.

Chop an overly rip banana in half, still in its skin.

Chuck it into a pan of almost boiling water, add a stick of cinnamon.

10 mins later you have a lovely pot of cinnamon and banana tea.


Drink before bed. Supposed to help you sleep deeply too.

take a stick of cinnamon and a teaspoon of butter

generously lubricate your rectum with the butter

eat the cinnamon stick

bash youself up the arse with a huge black dildo

Alone, with nothing. No way, José.

The dash I put in with oatmeal and coffee is likely the same amount as a heaped teaspoon.

I bet you don't though.

In fact I bet you read that 'article' and then just posted that you do. It's just like you to jump on every fad bandwagon going.

That's why you're so fat. Your diet and exercise is inconsistent and you're always looking for short-cuts that don't exist.

I don't do it every curry I make as it imparts quite a distinctive aroma, but my wife prefers my curries when they have the cinnamon, not that she realises it's the cinnamon.

Thank you, Maanaam.
