The following video discusses the use of cinnamon and vinegar for helping type II diabetics control blood sugar levels. Both cinnamon and vinegar are helpful for lowering blood sugar, but I think the reporter (shockingly, she’s a dietician!) on this video is missing a key point. Just because cinnamon helps lower blood sugar doesn’t mean you want to use it on oatmeal, toast, and other high-carbohydrate foods as a means of controlling diabetes. That’s kind of like sprinkling vitamins on ice cream and thinking the vitamins make it healthy.
By all means, use cinnamon and vinegar for reducing blood sugar naturally, but you still need to make good meal choices. It would be nice if you could control your blood sugar by getting breakfast at Cinnabon, but it just doesn’t work that way.
