Well, air doesn't have almost 40 calories and 2g carbs per tablespoon!

It's also got alcohol in it, which will your body will burn as fuel preferrably over sugar. It's minimal, so the effect is almost nil.

As for flavor I don't use it and don't think it would add much. I use cinnamon to things that i want to flavor, such as my protein shake.
