    Well I asked someone about it and he said it can help prevent you from getting sick in the cold weather. I have just never heard anything like that before.

    Most likely, they don't know what they are talking about. There are some herbs and supplements that can boost your immune system, suck as vitamin c, echinacea, garlic, etc.. But as for getting sick, that is due to catching germs or a virus from someone else.

    Maybe he's trying to have cinnamon-y fresh breath and doesn't want to chew gum?

    Heeheehee this cracked me up.


    I have no idea, though. Maybe he just likes cinnamon and isn't afraid of looking like a freak. Sometimes I wear a Davy Crockett hat because it's warm and I don't care about looking like a freak.

    He may have had a toothache. Cloves are good to chew on when you have a toothache because they numb the area and promote bloodflow (healing), I'm thinking cinnamon is a very similar spice with similar effects.
    Or maybe he just reeeeaally likes cinnamon.

    wow, so I googled it and apparently there are quite a few health benefits associated with cinnamon:

    Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.

    Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes.

    In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections.

    In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.

    It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.

    In a study at Copenhagen University, patients given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast had significant relief in arthritis pain after one week and could walk without pain within one month.

    When added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.

    One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory.

    Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices.

    It is a great source of manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.

    me neither! this link goes into more detail: also, it appears that much of the cinnamon we purchase is actually cassia, a relative, but not "true" Ceylon cinnamon.

    I've heard of this as a way to combat really bad breath. Thought it was a bit extreme though.

    I read somewhere that cinnamon boosts metabolism too.

    Maybe it tasted good!

    I thought it could be helpful for stomachaches and digestion, but I could be mixing that up with something.

    Heh.
    I have a natural licorice twig. My former herbalist told me it was good to gnaw on for mild stomach probs. I, however, would not be walking around in public chewing it. People think I'm weird enough as it is.
