Cinnamon Honey

As with many bee products advertised on the web, cinnamon honey has been marketed quite aggressively with many strong health claims attached to its use without much scientific support or proof.

Now, I get a bit nervous when I read articles about natural health products that claim to cure or treat such degenerative diseases as cancer or heart disease without any mention of the sources of their information.

How about a study or some documented historical use or heck, even personal experience using the product?

Unfortunately, much of the information out there on cinnamon honey happens to fit this mold.

Now don't get me wrong - I don't believe every food with a health claim needs a double blind placebo controlled study to justify its use as a possible aid.

In fact, my dad the beekeeper and mom the apitherapist think enough of the raw honey and cinnamon combination that they've produced their own product.

And to be totally honest, it is the best tasting honey product I've ever tried!

When combined together, these two foods make absolute magic for your taste buds!

As you'll read in the article below, honey and cinnamon used in combination have a tremendous number of conditions in which they may be helpful.

Now, I haven't been able to track down the author of this article so as to verify the sources of the claims. Several web sites across the web are using it but no one particular person has taken credit.

So as always, use your common sense when taking information from this or any web site for that matter. Especially with matters of health.
