Please Pass the Cinnamon!!!

Science Daily says Cinnamon and Turmeric (antioxidant spices) can reduce the negative effects of a high fat meal.  According to Sheila West, associate professor of biobehavioral health, Penn State, who led the study, many scientists think that oxidative stress contributes to heart disease, arthritis and diabetes. "Antioxidants, like spices, may be important in reducing oxidative stress and thus reducing the risk of chronic disease," she said, adding that the spice dose they used provided the equivalent amount of antioxidants contained in 5 ounces of red wine or 1.4 ounces of dark chocolate.



Unfortunately, the antioxidant spices do not negate the large amount of calories that are part of that high fat meal.  That's the discover I looking for!!!
