I used cinnamon sticks as a replacement for cigarettes when I quit smoking. I will have to try it for hunger. Seems like it may be the cure all.

after my husbands heart attack the hospital told him to chew hot gum or candy to help with his urge to smoke and that worked. So, I guess I will try this. Thank You

I love cinnamon gum! It's the only flavor I chew. BUT I've never paid attention to whether I feel less hungry from chewing it. Will have to give it a try when I am hungry and pay attention! :D

Cinnamon in candies and gum makes my tongue sore--I get so-called "geographic tongue"!

Interesting, I quit chewing cinnamon a few years ago when I read that it dulls your sense of taste. But perhaps dentine whouln't bee so strong.

Cinnamon

Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics. Soak a cinnamon Stick in your tea or take a 500MG of Cinnamon pill.Cinnamon's essential oils also qualify it as an "anti-microbial" food, and cinnamon has been studied for its ability to help stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi, including the problematic yeast Candida. It works for me!!

Eating prettier

I am a creature of habit in my healthy eating. However, I have found that if I challenge my palette with a LITTLE variety without substantially changing the nutirent value of my food I am happier. Like Nutmeg, garlics, cinnamon or other spices.

I add cinnamon to almost all my dishes. Cinnamon challenges your taste buds and helps salivate which also aids in digestion. Studies have also shown that cinnamon tends to lower your blood sugar levels also.
