Cinnamon?

I got this from Menshealth.com:

"Try This Natural Energy-Booster
Use ground cinnamon. Adding cinnamon to your oatmeal will definitely make the dreck more palatable, and it might lower your blood-sugar levels. According to USDA researchers, eating 1 teaspoon of cinnamon a day can make your body 20 times more efficient at turning glucose into energy. "

Anything to this? I've never heard it before.

Very true indeed, but to what extent no one really knows. My guess is that the glucose disposal effects are minor.
