Apple Pie and Blood Sugar
Researchers studying the effects of common foods on blood sugar were surprised when subjects who were give apple pie actually experienced a significant improvement in their blood sugar levels. Go figure.
Turns out that apple pie’s blood sugar lowering ability comes from the cinnamon it contains. Tests done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirm this cinnamon’s ability to lower blood sugar. They found it increases your body’s glucose metabolism by almost 20 times.
We’re not recommending that you start eating an apple pie every day, but you might want to consider adding cinnamon to some more healthful recipes.
