Did you know that cinnamon may help people with type 2 diabetes? The indian spice was found to help regulate the blood sugar - therefore, helping people who have type 2 diabetes.

Why or how could this help you if you don't have diabetes? Regulating your blood sugar levels helps reduce cravings and binges. Also according to Wikipedia:
