Hi, is honey and cinnamon healthy for the body? if so what does it do for the body and how much should I take that is not over doing it?
Honey is basically a type of sugar. It has no special health benefits, other than as a topical treatment for certain skin conditions and it soothes a sore throat. I doubt taking it for some health issue on your own will be very effective because there's little data on how much to take for, for example, the ulcers caused by H. pylori mentioned on the WebMD site. Antibiotics prescribed by a doctor would be much more effective. Trying to treat infections on your own can be very dangerous.
Cinnamon is a seasoning. Use it to flavor your food. While some studies may show that certain chemicals extracted from substances like cinnamon can have beneficial effects in the laboratory, it's a mistake to think the same benefits can be obtained from the whole food.
Yes.OK, thankyou. So to confirm, it doesn't provide any health benefit for the body other then what was mentioned in this thread?
You received thorough answers from Larry in your threads on citrus and vinegar. Anything that sticks to your teeth can cause cavities.is there anything bad that it does to the body? like for example rot the teeth and mouth?
is there anything bad that honey does to the body? like for example rot the teeth and mouth? I figure that might be the case because it has sugar in it.
