Are you talking medical uses or regular uses? Regular uses include putting cinammon sticks in coffee or hot cocoa for flavor, grinding it for other food uses, etc. For lowering blood sugar be careful what type of cinnamon you use or take. Cassia Cinnamon, which is identifiable by the cinnamon stick being rolled from one end to the other and is not good to take too much of in capsules or otherwise for bloodsugar or as a supplement because it contains quite of bit of a blood thinner named Coumadin and can create other complications when taking it.

Raw unprocessed honey, and honey from farms with few hives, has been known to cause honey toxicity.
The following excerpt is directly from Wikipedia's article on honey:
"Due to the natural presence of botulinum endospores in honey, children under one year of age should not be given honey. The more developed digestive systems of older children and adults generally destroy the spores. Infants, however, can contract botulism from honey.[49] Honey produced from the flowers of rhododendrons, mountain laurels, sheep laurel, and azaleas may cause honey intoxication. Symptoms include dizziness, weakness, excessive perspiration, nausea, and vomiting. Less commonly, low blood pressure, shock, heart rhythm irregularities, and convulsions may occur, with rare cases resulting in death. Honey intoxication is more likely when using "natural" unprocessed honey and honey from farmers who may have a small number of hives. Commercial processing, with pooling of honey from numerous sources generally dilutes any toxins.[50] Toxic honey may also result when bees are in close proximity to tutu bushes (Coriaria arborea) and the vine hopper insect (Scolypopa australis). Both are found throughout New Zealand. Bees gather honeydew produced by the vine hopper insects feeding on the tutu plant. This introduces the poison tutin into honey [51]. Only a few areas in New Zealand (Coromandel Peninsula, Eastern Bay of Plenty and the Marlborough Sound) frequently produce toxic honey. Symptoms of tutin poisoning include vomiting, delirium, giddiness, increased excitability, stupor, coma, and violent convulsions. As little as one teaspoon of toxic honey may produce severe effects in humans.[citation needed] In order to reduce the risk of tutin poisoning, humans should not eat honey taken from feral hives in the risk areas of New Zealand. Since December 2001, New Zealand beekeepers have been required to reduce the risk of producing toxic honey by closely monitoring tutu, vine hopper, and foraging conditions within 3 km of their apiary."

What breed of dog is Kuma on the cinnamon toast crunch cereal commercial?
>>The dog looks like my dog. My dog is a border collie and yellow lab mix.
Hello all. I just wanted to add to the conversation since I am Kuma's mom. All the answers are pretty accurate. He was rescued as a shelter dog and listed as a Lab /Husky on his kennel card. I think he also has a lot of Border Collie in there since she is very intelligent and loves to herd! He is very, very vocal and has a very thick coat which probably comes from the Husky side. He also really enjoys being in and around water (not swimming) so I think that comes from a Yellow Lab or Golden Retriever side. All in all he is probably a Heinz 57 which to me, makes him the perfect dog!
I used to make sour dough bread and after I got it perfected I started making cinnamon rolls with the dough and topped them with powdered sugar icing. I don't know why but I lost weight and I would eat 2 or 3 large ones a day...besides my regular meals. In fact I went to a health food store about 20 years ago and asked them if anyone ever said anything about cinnamon and sugar combined causing weight loss...they had not, but thought it was great that I honed in on the source of my weight loss.
Of course, the sour dough could have played a part in triggering something that caused the weight loss. Unfortunately, I let my sour dough starter sit too long without feeding it and it sort of died. Although I have tried numerous recipes to get a new starter...none turn out the same as my old one
Nevertheless, I did lose weight.

90% of the world's production of cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, according to The International Herald Tribune 2006. It is also grown commercially in Tellicherry (southern India), Bangladesh, China, Java, Sumatra, the West Indies, Brazil, Vietnam, Madagascar, Zanzibar, and Egypt. As for the physical plant, cinnamon is grown on cinnamon trees and harvested by cinnamon farmers (usually slave children).
The cinnamon tree is part of the laurel family, to which the cassia and the camphor trees belong. It grows best in light sandy, moist soil and is abundant in Sri Lanka, Java, China and India to name a few. The cinnamon grows to a maximum height of about 9 m (30 ft) and has a smooth ash colored bark and wide spreading branches. The outer bark is almost odorless and of little value. The commercial cinnamon is obtained from the darker inner bark. An aromatic oil is extracted from the bark. Cinnamon was used in the preparation of holy anointing oil as one of the choicest perfumes.

Does cinnamon stop cats from scratching?
Cinnamon can stop cats from scratching it really depends on how determined the cat is to scratch. Another great thing to make cats stop scratching is mixing some lemon with water and squirting at them when they do but do not squirt their eyes. You can also try putting orange peels where they scratch. That remedy is great at Christmas time if your cat starts to chew the Christmas tree hang the peels from the bottom of the tree. You can try patches of material if your cat is scratching furniture like the arms of a chair.
I hope this helps XD
What country are cinnamon rolls from?
This is a good question. The quick answer is France in the early 1700's.

Is there any historical data to back this up? Many will argue, but currently none can prove, or disprove.
